The M2si integrated amplifier takes peerless premium-amp experience and applies it to a more affordable price point. It boasts trickle-down technology from mighty and legendary Titan flagship, plus other high-end touches such as solid metal controls. 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.
Further flexibility is provided by the M2si's excellent connectivity, which includes six line-level inputs and switchable home-theatre throughput. It features a Class A preamp stage with its own, independant 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.
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.
A really amazing sound that compensates for the more than the absence of many modern functions on board. The amplifier sounds wide, the sound flows, is very expressive in dynamics. The sound is exquisite and sophisticated, but this refinement is not sluggish, but very energetic and even in something muscular. The device is very reliably assembled.
As I started writing above: there is no way to headphones and entrances only linear ones. There is no built -in phono -corrector. It is worth forgetting about digital entrances. But if you figure out what kind of minuses are, then they immediately turn into pluses. On this below.
This device has a friend of my father, who already has an audiophile experience of 20 years with a hill. He saw Vinil's departure and the arrival of the CDs of the disks and again the revival of Vinil, with great interest, is now following the changes in the digital sound. And he always repeats to me the same thing: the most important thing is to buy a good amplifier. Formats, fashion, trends will change. All that is now on board by modern amplifiers, in 5 years it will not be relevant. If there is a good amplifier, then it will be possible to connect any fashion devices of your time to it and use them perfectly. He also adds that in fact, the reproduction of high -quality sound has long been invented and all that is required is high -quality separate components. This amplifier is just a find as a separate component of the audio system. The device is assembled very reliable, it feels that it will serve for more than a dozen years. Outwardly, the device is very presentable and luxurious. The preamplifier works in class A, which can significantly reduce nonlinear distortions. Also, the device uses separate power to a preamplifier and amplifier, thereby stopping any tip and interference in the signal. The power reserve is enough to pump any large noblins. A friend of the father is Oberon 5, it turns out an interesting ligament, he is very pleased. You can tell about a very wide range of sounds, emanating with some arrogance, but also mystery. With a difficult musical palette, the amplifier copes with a bang, without forceing the sound either to clip or tight. You can easily trace the line of any musical instrument. The presentation in space is also all right. A spacious room arises in front of you, where many tools are easily located, and you have no problems with determining their location. And how good it is dynamically: an amplifier can quickly move to a loud sound with a lightning speed from a quiet sound, and at the same time it sounds natural, like an influx of a large wave. I advise everyone to listen to this amplifier, and decide for yourself whether you want to create a really good separate audio system. If so, then you can start with this device. I advise you!
