Description

Musical Fidelity M6xi is thestereo integrated amplifier high-end model that evolves the formula of the famous M6si, maintaining its engineering philosophy and enriching it with fully modern connectivity. Conceived as two mono power amplifiers Independently housed in the same chassis and paired with a separate preamplifier, the M6xi directly inherits the topology of the legendary 1kW TITAN, bringing the same sonic authority to an integrated format.

The power delivered is 2x230W on 8 Ohm e 2x390W on 4 Ohm, with a peak current of 45A which guarantees absolute control even on the most demanding speakers and with variable impedance. Darlington exit stage in classic configuration Musical Fidelity eliminates crossover artifacts, maintaining extremely low residual distortion and preserving musical detail across the entire frequency range. The main transformer and power supply board are enclosed in a dedicated metal casing, a solution that drastically reduces electrical interferenceromamagnetic fields (EMI) and it benefits every sensitive circuit.

The preamplifier is entirely analog and uses a Burr-Brown stepped volume attenuator that ensures a perfectly balanced stereo image and consistent tonal accuracy at all listening levels. The vinyl section is completely new compared to the previous ones: the MM/MC phono stage now also includes the moving coil input, with optimized shielding, gains up to 60 dB and a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 87 dB A-weighted. An important detail for those wondering how to connect a high-quality MC turntable without an external preamplifier : the M6xi handles it internally with excellent performance.

On the digital front, the boards are physically separated on dedicated PCBs with independent linear power supplies. Coaxial, optical and USB-C inputs up to 24bit/192kHz are featured , as well as an HDMI eARC input that allows direct integration with TVs and home theater systems, making the M6xi also the heart of a high-end audio-video system. Completing the picture is the new USB-A 5V/2A linear power output , featuring its own winding on the transformer: a true audiophile power supply for external streamers, which simplifies the system and improves its performance. For more complex systems , fixed and variable preamp outputs , an HT bypass input for multi-channel integration, an RS232 interface and I/O triggers are available. The chassis is made from solid aluminum extrusions that act as a Faraday cage, while the new included remote control is universal for the entire M Series.

Vinyl, Streaming, or CD: Which Source to Choose to Get Started

Choosing the source is the first real choice when building a Hi-Fi system. Vinyl, digital streaming, or CD? Each has its own unique characteristics, different costs, and a specific learning curve. There's no universal answer: it depends on how you listen,…

Vinyl: Ritual, warmth, and physical involvement

Vinyl is the quintessential analog source. It requires a turntable, a cartridge, a preamp (often integrated into the amplifier), and a minimum amount of care in setup. The sound has a recognizable signature: smooth, full-bodied, with a natural spatiality that many describe as "warm." It's not technically perfect—there's background noise, serious wear, and a lack of clarity.dualand — but it's involvement.
