MUSICAL FIDELITY M5SI

Integrated amplifier. Power output of 2x150W into 8 ohms. SMD circuit layout. Four line inputs. Asynchronous USB-B input with 24-bit/96 kHz resolution. MM Phono input. Fixed and variable pre-out outputs.

The M5si can confidently be defined as a high-end amplifier. With its 150 watts per channel and virtually endless current delivery, it can effortlessly drive any speaker. Internally, it features a dual mono configuration with a separate preamplifier section. Technically, it is much closer to the M6si model than its younger sibling, the M3si.

The design and construction of the M5si stand out for their very low distortion, extremely high signal-to-noise ratio, and a remarkably flat frequency response.

It is designed with great attention to input versatility, including a prominent asynchronous USB-B port supporting files up to 24-bit/96 kHz. The M5si’s sound is detailed yet warm, thanks to circuitry directly derived from the engineering behind the top-tier Nu-Vista 800 integrated amplifier. Listening to it, the sonic relationship between the two models is immediately apparent.

Its ability to create a wide soundstage, combined with rich bass and crystal-clear highs, represents just some of the qualities that make the M5si a truly competitive integrated amplifier, worthy of being considered a best buy in its category.
