Audio enthusiast and music lover, a mother and a brother organ/piano players, Jean-Marie Fusilier designed and built his first tube amplifiers in the 60's for guitarists and hi-fi. He later built numerous large scale loudspeakers, commercial and experimental. His new solid-state power amplifiers were selected by American recording studio designer Tom Hidley and equipped the first studio in Nashville in 1989, owned by a GRAMMY Award winning sound engineer.
With time, passion and a vision, JMF Audio has developed a collection composed of reference elements, starting with the power amplifiers. Each element being absolutely optimized for its function, capitalizing on our experience and always looking for the most relevant solutions for the music. No more, no less.
JMF Audio believes that only precision can guarantee the desirable musicality and expression for all musics. In addition to innovation, advanced engineering and excellent measurement figures, it involves a subtle convergence of scientific rigor and craftsman's work of art to reach the pinnacle in musical rendering: the three dimensional sound stage, the accurate timbres, the subtle ambiances, the fullness, the emotion. Only few parameters are measurable with traditional methods and this is where knowhow makes the difference.
