Rotel Michi X5 ... the irresistible force ... EX-DEMO

If this was an asteroid on its to hit the planet then it may well cause the extinction of the mammals. At 50kg it is one of the most massive single box amplifiers that I have ever encountered and is gorgeous.


First encounter was playing it through a pair of Dynaudio Confidence 60 sourced by a Marantz SA10. Fresh out of the box the Michi X5 lacks the glare and oft harsh treble of many of the super amplifier designs without being salubrious like a Musical Fidelity X8i. It has needless to say terrific poise with no overhang or bloom on these critical speakers and an instant rendition of space that is immensely gratifying.


I dived straight in with Patti Smith Horses and her raw proto punk seventies energy was immaculately recreated with this powerhouse running the system. 


The amplifier is physically gorgeous, although some may find the black looks unsettling. In use it is both tactile and entertaining. The new Michi Trademark display that suddenly illuminates in the panel is excellent fun.

Product Description

Details

There is an almost carnal response that a Hi Fi and music lover has to a good amplifier ... and that is a perfectly normal and healthy thing I would suggest. We love things that make power and create noise. Personally I have an unhealthy predilection for multi cylinder aero engines and love the noise of a Pratt and Whitney R4360.

The Rotel X5 Michi is much more sensible to have in your living room than a 28 cylinder 3500HP aero engine and actually is capable of making much much nicer sound. for those of you who are wasting money on he swansong of internal combustion engine technology just stop that right now and buy a Michi instead.

The very odd thing is that this is ridiculously cheap for what it offers.

The Michi X5 Integrated Amplifier is Performance Redefined delivering an astounding 600 Watts of Class AB power into 4 ohm speakers under even extreme loading conditions. The X5 is replete with inputs ensuring support of all popular audio sources including Analog, Digital, XLR, PC-USB with MQA rendering, apt-X Bluetooth, and selectable Moving Magnet or Moving Coil Phono Stage.
