The claimed 2x76W power output isn’t the highest here, but it is backed up by a current delivery rated at 25A (the Audiolab claims up to 9A) and an equally impressive damping factor figure meaning that, on paper at least, it has by far the greatest scope for handling challenging speaker loads. It is also extremely well made. The casework is hefty and carefully assembled and feels very solid.

The M2si integrated amplifier takes a peerless premium-amp experience and applies it to a more affordable price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt boasts trickle-down technology from the mighty Titan flagship, plus other high-end touches such as solid metal controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M2si delivers 76 watts per channel into 8ohms and 137 watts into 4ohms. This means the M2si will drive a wide range of speakers, even power-hungry models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther flexibility is provided by the M2si's excellent connectivity, which includes six line-level inputs and switchable home-theatre throughput. There are also preamp outputs and tape outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat attention has been paid to internal layout, isolating each circuit section to prevent possible interaction. The unit features a finely tuned and tweaked preamplifier, for smooth sound coupled with low noise and virtually no distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power amplifier consists of two top quality power amplifiers for the absolute best in separation and imaging. Generously rated, they are enough to drive even the most demanding loudspeakers with ease. Low distortion and very quiet they will deliver all music types exactly as the artist originally intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resultant performance achieved by this unit is among the best in the world. It has excellent signal to noise ratio, low distortion, wide bandwidth and dynamic range, with extraordinary resolution and fine detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt features a Class A preamp stage with its own, independent power supply, coupled with a discrete pair of power amps. In effect, this means the M2si offers the performance benefits of a pre\/power configuration with the compact convenience of a one-box design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final word goes to The Absolute Sound, whose review of the M3i stated: \"Its performance is rock-solid, it's sonically well-rounded and it's comfortable with a wide array of speakers. And it's all served up in an elegant, no-nonsense package\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76 W per channel into 8 ohm (19 dBW)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD(+ noise):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;0.014 % typical, 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;96dB ‘A’-weighted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e +0, –0.1 dB, 10 Hz to 20 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6x Line Level RCA (1x includes Home Theatre Passthrough Option) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preamp Out, Tape Out \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remote Control Included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions - WxHxD (mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 440 x 100 x 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight (unpacked \/ packed):\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.2 kg\/ 13 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":51776375423160,"sku":"MUFAMPM2SIOBK","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":51776375488696,"sku":"MUFAMPM2SIOSI","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/M3i_Black_Front.jpg?v=1579627828","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/musical-fidelity-m2si-integrated-amplifier","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
