This is a very nice piece especially for the price. I bought it for a second system to power a set of KEF LS50's. It sounds nice with the LS50's however it has gone into protection mode while listening at @ 90-95 db in a 12x15 room. The LS50's may be a little too hard for M2Si to drive at a level where I believe they start to shine. I now have M2Si hooked up to a pair of speakers that are 89db efficient and the M2Si has great synergy with these speakers.

Pretty good sound for this price point. No glaring deficiencies anywhere. I would recommend it.

A simple but solidly built integrated amplifier with surprisingly good power. There is a 3 dimensional heft to its rendition of all the frequencies and if I had to sum it up, the M2si is all about power, pace and grace. It has enough reserves to provide a fluid weighty presentation, but yet agile and rhythmic enough to attack the notes with precision and timing when the tempo picks up. I am powering a pair of Whaferdale bookshelf speakers with the M2si and the lower and mid bass response are really deep and punchy while the mids are lush and smooth with plenty of weight to it. High frequencies are projected with detail but never to the point of being bright, you just hear more of it but always properly textured but never harsh or brittle. The biggest improvement I got retiring my old NAD amp and moving on with the M2si is the lower frequency response and imaging. Spinning cd after cd it is very noticeable that vocals and instruments seem to pop out at you with better pace and timing. Even when the musical passage gets busy the amp always has a grip on things and do separation well, you never seem to lose the presentation of individual sources. Thank you Joel/Upscale for your recommendation of the Musical Fidelity M2si, I can see myself living with this set up for quite a few years. The purchasing experience at Upscale was also very pleasant; the fact I was given an I-Pad to stream music I was familiar with really helped with the auditioning of the amp. For those who have never visited Upscale in person, I highly recommend you make a pilgrimage; ok maybe after all this crazy virus thing blows over.

I wanted a great sounding, affordable, simple, beautiful, high quality, very well made integrated amplifier and the M2SI checked all those boxes. I am happy I chose a solution without all the Bluetooth/digital built in as I know have a timeless amplifier that will serve my living room for decades without ever feeling antiquated. I can’t say enough how nice the actual unit is built. . . Looks as high quality as gear costing a fortune.

Just received my integrated amp today and I must say I was impressed! Excellent packing, fast shipping and in the box was a letter thanking me for purchasing their product! How professional and personable is that! The amp is built extremely well and in my opinion is one of the best looking amplifiers I have seen. Listening to it as I write this review I am feeling pretty damn good. Probably would not have purchased this amp if it was not on sale at such a great discount, but I researched it and decided to go with the Musical Fidelity amp. Best decision I have made this year! Great experience.
