Overview
The M2si integrated amplifier takes our premium-amp technology and applies it to a
more affordable price point. Drawing upon the design philosophy and insights gleaned
from our mighty TITAN flagship, along with the inclusion of high-end elements such as
the robust metal controls, extruded aluminum front panel, and a chassis crafted entirely
from metal, the M2si occupies an enviable position for discerning audiophiles seeking
an unadulterated high-end amplifier.
Fully Discrete Power Amplifier
The M2si delivers 72 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 137 watts into 4 ohms. This
means the M2si will drive a wide range of speakers, even power-hungry models. The fully
discrete power amp, complemented by its dedicated power supply and generously
proportioned toroidal transformer, guarantees reserves for proper peak delivery and
a wide dynamic range. Power hungry and difficult speakers are driven with ease. Low
impedance dips are managed gracefully and the judiciously rated output devices
won‘t faulter under any load.
Precision Matched Preamp and PRE/POWER Configuration
The low noise preamp has its own, independent power supply. In effect, this means the
M2si offers the performance benefits of a pre/power configuration with the compact
convenience of a one-box design. For best low channel volume matching we employ
a high quality Burr-Brown stepped attenuator delivering performance way above that
of conventional potentiometer designs.
The Musical Fidelity Design-Philosophy
Further flexibility is provided by the M2si‘s carefully considered connectivity, which includes six line-level inputs and switchable home-theatre throughput. We have purposefully decided against a phono input or any digital high-frequency and DAC circuitry.
The M2si remains committed to unadulterated sound quality over extraneous features.
The introduction of digital high-frequency modules would be at odds with the nuanced
performance of the analogue pre and power amplifiers, and the substantial transformer and power amp circuitry could introduce interference to delicate phono signals.
Redefining The Amplifier
With the M2si, our aim was to distill the expertise and design principles honed through
our high-end amplifiers, creating an unbeatable package in this price point. Rather
than burdening the analog amplifier‘s performance with superfluous features, we
opted for a puristic and audiophile-oriented amplifier design that would elicit envy from
owners of more costly, feature-loaded integrated amplifiers. With a true Musical Fidelity
amplifier, you receive precisely what you desire. An affordable and puristic audiophile
integrated amplifier for a lifetime, solely designed for the maximum of musical fidelity.
