{"product_id":"musical-fidelity-m8xi-integrated-amplifier","title":"Musical Fidelity M8xi Integrated Amplifier","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe M8xi is Musical Fidelity's flagship Super Integrated amplifier, a design that traces back to the A1000 of 1990 and the line of large integrateds that followed it. It is genuinely dual mono: a separate preamp with two monobloc power amps in one chassis, each power amp with its own heat sink and its own transformer. The preamp runs from its own power supply and sits close to the input sockets to keep the signal path short, so both channels see ultra-low impedance the moment the signal arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbers are the point of it. The M8xi delivers 550 watts per channel into 8 ohms, rising to 870 watts into 4 ohms and peaking at 1.6 kW into 2 ohms, with each channel carrying twelve large bipolar output transistors and up to 200 amps peak-to-peak on tap. In this generation the entire driver stage runs pure Class A, which Musical Fidelity credits for the wider soundstage and sharper dynamics. A five-input DAC is built in around the Texas Instruments PCM5242 with its own power supply, and balanced XLR inputs and outputs sit alongside the RCA connections. This is a one-box amplifier built to drive any loudspeaker without strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlagship Super Integrated amplifier in genuine dual-mono form\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e550 watts per channel into 8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e870 watts per channel into 4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePeak 1.6 kW into 2 ohms for demanding loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwelve bipolar output transistors per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUp to 200 amps peak-to-peak current available\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure Class A driver stage throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeparate transformer and heat sink for each channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in five-input DAC on the TI PCM5242 chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR plus RCA analog inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision volume control using laser-trimmed resistors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMilspec aluminium front panel and heavy custom heat sinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"ph-warranty-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #0F527F; border-radius: 6px; padding: 14px 16px; background: #f7fafc;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eThis product comes with a 2-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eWhy Consider the Musical Fidelity M8xi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a class of loudspeaker that most integrated amplifiers cannot properly control, the large, low-impedance, power-hungry designs that dip well below their nominal rating. The M8xi exists for exactly those speakers. With 550 watts a side and the current reserves of a serious power amplifier, it drives difficult loads with the ease of separates while keeping everything in one chassis. The pure Class A driver stage gives it the tonal character of a small Class A amplifier but with effectively limitless headroom, and the built-in DAC with balanced connectivity means it can anchor a high-end system without a separate preamp or converter. For a listener at the top of the market who wants the simplicity of an integrated without giving up the grip of big monoblocs, this is the amplifier to consider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge or low-impedance loudspeakers that need serious current\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-end systems wanting separates-level power in one chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eListeners who value a pure Class A driver stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSystems using balanced XLR sources and connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOwners consolidating a preamp, power amp and DAC into one box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDemanding rooms where amplifier headroom is the limiting factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"ph-inbox-list\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMusical Fidelity M8xi integrated amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUser manual and documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #555;\"\u003e[VERIFY: box contents not itemised on the source page.
