Musical Fidelity M3i Integrated Amplifier
Price: £1000
This superb new entry level integrated amplifier from Musical Fidelity has now arrived and is available for demonstration, it will be joined soon by the matching M3i CD Player (£TBA).
The M3i Integrated Amplifier is a 75 watts per channel high performance integrated amplifier with 6 line level inputs.
The new M3i integrated amp is designed to give great sonic and technical performance. Internally the M3i uses driver circuitry similar to that of the Titan power amplifier. The M3i has a Class A preamplifier with its own independent power supply with separate transformer windings, in effect making it a separate Class A pre amplifier with a stereo power amplifier in the same case work. Even though the M3i is a one box solution it has been engineered to exacting standards. Having ultra low noise silent switching, perfect volume control matching and outstanding power amp stability margins. Even as Musical Fidelity’s entry level amplifier it offers true high-end performance at an affordable price.
The front panel is beautifully finished. The knobs and buttons are machined from solid aluminium, the badge is from medical grade stainless steel.
For most people for most of the time the M3i is the perfect companion for music. Available in Black or Silver
