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.

I didn't find any.
My Cambridge amp failed me after only two and a half years of use, which I find frankly astounding, so I chose this one as a replacement, my confidence having been shaken. So we're sticking with a British product, which I hope will prove more reliable. This is a 100% analogue device, a decision I fully accept. DACs and other digital systems are evolving too fast, in my opinion. With this amp, I won't have any obsolescence problems for a long time to come. I just want an amp to amplify, and that's all. I assume that a device that wants to do too many things may not do them as well (that's just me). Streamers and other DACs can always be upgraded if necessary, over time, depending on finances and technological advances. This amp is already perfect when combined with my Thorens turntable via the same brand's phono preamp (MF). For the moment, I'm very satisfied with its audiophile qualities, after running it in, of course.
I recommend it. The value for money also seems excellent. Good stuff, heavy, well finished, and powerful enough to drive most loudspeakers, even demanding ones.
