At the price it is a no brainer. Sweet midrange, good power and dynamics. I didn't need a DAC or phono amp. Exactly what I was looking for.

The salesperson was helpful and the amp was packaged well. I would do business again with Upscale Audio without hesitation. This amp is an absolute steal. It is well built, good looking, and It drives my ELAC UB5 slims very well which is no easy task. I am truly amazed at the wonderfully balanced and neutral sound!

The company name is an accurate description of what the M2Si sounds. I am surprised as It wasn’t originally on my short list for integrate amps. The great deal helped too!

If you're looking for no-frills top quality product at a great price point, look no further. Class-A pre-amp, solidly built, punchy, amazing speed/attack with drums and bass - and great separation of instruments, providing a life like atmosphere instead of a bland flat experience provided by many sub $1000 Class-D amps packed with bells and whistles. No phono pre-amp (perfect), no lame internal DAC (I use outboard gear and like to upgrade)... so this is the perfect integrated amp for a long term investment. It can also serve as a backup pre-amp in my main system should my trusted Threshold T2 take a dive. The velvet bag and white glove for handling the amp is a nice touch!!! Highly recommended, especially at $599.

I can't at this time, I haven't spent enough time or hours. Give it a few months from now. But one thing did stand out , no banana plug for speaker wire.

I purchased this from Upscale a couple of months ago and I've had time to get well acquainted with it. I have about 25 years of listening experience as an audiophile with a range of amplifiers. In a word, Wow. This amplifier is a stunning value for one simple reason: it sounds absolutely fantastic. Its predecessors in my listening room were a $2,800 class D amplifier and a massive 250 watt, highly regarded class A/B power amp. It sounds better than both, no question about it. I was surprised by this because I'd purchased it as a compact "temporary" solution for my system. There is some secret sauce in this design. Maybe it is the class A preamp section, I don't know, but it takes control of the speakers and produces a relaxed but beautifully articulate and dynamic sound. I agree with others who describe it as muscular. It is incredibly so for such a modest power rating. Bravo to Musical Fidelity and to Upscale Audio for making it available at such an amazing price.
