There is probably nothing wrong with it.
Maybe he connected it with one channel reversely phased ( + and - the other way round), or maybe he is just not a big fan of "the british sound".

I believe also that nothing is wrong, but if we think that traditionaly Musical Fidelity uses conventional designs in its amps and it plays with quicient (bias) current to produce pure sound (some watts 1-2 class A), I am thinking that maybe the bias current in the particular amp is some how low trimmered consider increasing it. This is just a guess thought because I do not know this Amp. I know others like A1.
