"Musical Fidelity" postoji zbog predanosti muzici i Hi-Fi
reprodukciji jednog čoveka. Ta osoba je Antony Michaelson. On
je klasično obrazovan klarinetista sa brojnim snimcima i
ljubavlju prema muzici koja ga je vodila njegovoj stalnoj želji za
uredjajima koji će biti u stanju da zvuće kao i prava muzika. Još

od 12 godine on je strastveni Hi-Fi Entuzijasta. Imao je uredjaje
različitih brendova koje je slušao kući. ali performanse takozvanih
"High End" uredjaja su bile razočaravajuće, a posebno
astronomske cene. Posle brojnih razočaranja, završilo se
osečanjem da neće nači opremu koja će ga zadovoljiti osim ako

je ne napravi sam. Bio je odlučan da napravi muzički Hi-Fi koji
će reprodukovati izvorni materijal sa muzičkom vernošću , pa je
tako nazvao i kompaniju koju je osnovao 1982 godine.

Musical Fidelity exists because of one man's passion for music
and hi-fi. That man is Antony Michaelson. He's a classically-
trained clarinettist with a number of recordings to his credit andhis love of music has driven his burning desire to make hi-fi which really sounds like music. Since the age of 12 he has been

an ardent hi-fi enthusiast. He bought a variety of brands to listen to at home, but found the performance of much so-called 'high-end' equipment disappointing, especially at the astronomical prices being charged. After a number of disappointments, it dawned upon Antony that he might never find the kind of hi-fi he

was looking for, so he'd better build it himself. He was determined to produce musical hi-fi, which would reproduce the source material with musical fidelity, thus the name of the company he founded in 1982.
Innovators from the very first product.

Making waves in the market is nothing new for Musical Fidelity.
When the company's first product, The Preamp, was introduced
in 1982, it redefined market expectations about what level of
performance could be achieved from a modestly priced preamp. Not bad at all from a product that Antony built at his

offered 20W per channel of Class A performance. It was packaged in beautiful,
futuristic casework and it received ecstatic reviews from around the world.
Musical Fidelity's competitors were aghast and wrong-footed, and the public and
reviewers were thrilled. At last a true taste of high-end performance was available
for what was, even then, an incredibly low price: £250. To get the best
performance from this incredible piece of kit, all the customer had to do was to
use efficient loudspeakers. The A1 and its siblings sold nearly 200,000 units. To put it another way, if you put all of these amplifiers end-to-end, the line would
stretch for fifty miles.
In the late 1990s, Musical Fidelity turned its attention to the high-end, and
produced its amazing F-Series of high-end components. The visuals were
dramatic and groundbreaking, especially the sinuous heat-sinks and sculptural
front panel, and created something of a sensation. Elements of F-Series designs
can still be seen in competitors' products today. It seems that where Musical
Fidelity leads, others follow.
In 1995, Musical Fidelity again moved in a new direction, with the X-Series. Yet
again, Musical Fidelity shook the world of hi-fi. The tubular designs were utterly
unique and aroused strong emotions. As with all Musical Fidelity products, the
X-Series offered unmatched performance, fabulous visuals, astonishing build
quality and prices that were so reasonable that most people couldn't believe they were true.
In fact, while customers rejoiced, many competitors complained about the low
X-Series prices; they looked at Musical Fidelity's retail prices and thought that it
would probably cost them that much just to build a unit similar to the X-Series.
They were probably right, because most of them were unprepared to invest
substantial amounts in production tooling and other systems to ensure that their
unit price would be low. As with the A-Series, hundreds of thousands of units of
X-Series were sold.
