Musical Fidelity Fx Power Amplifier -
During this era, brands like NAD, Cambridge Audio, and Audiolab were fighting for dominance in the entry-to-mid-level sector. The NAD 3020 integrated amplifier had already revolutionized the industry by proving that budget gear could sound musical. However, many audiophiles were beginning to seek a path toward "separates"—splitting the preamplifier and power amplifier into distinct boxes to reduce interference and improve signal purity.

On paper, this was a failure. In practice, it was a liberation. Michaelson understood a dirty secret of the audio industry: high global negative feedback, the tool most engineers used to achieve high wattage with low distortion, was the enemy of transient response and harmonic integrity. The FX was designed around a different principle: : Draws approximately one amp of current during operation
