Each chassis is a single fully balanced monobloc delivering 700 watts RMS into 8 ohms and just on 1,300 watts into 4 ohms, and Musical Fidelity's own measurements place it within about 1.25dB of the 1kW Titan in action. Bought as a pair you get one amplifier per channel — the configuration the design is built around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistortion is specified typically at 0.001% at 1kHz and below 0.005% at 20kHz, rising to 0.02% at 50kHz and around 0.06% at 100kHz — frequencies no recording contains, quoted to show the amplifier's overall behaviour rather than anything you will hear. Signal-to-noise is better than 120dB A-weighted and frequency response runs +0\/−1dB from 10Hz to 80kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach monobloc takes an RCA line-level or a single XLR balanced input, with a 3.5mm trigger input for system automation. Twin sets of speaker terminals make bi-wiring straightforward, and the outputs can be daisy-chained to bi-amp suitable speakers. There is no volume control, no phono stage and no headphone socket — this is a power amplifier and nothing else. It is the natural partner to Musical Fidelity's M8sPRE preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a complete stereo pair — two fully balanced monobloc power amplifiers, one per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e700 watts per channel into 8 ohms, approximately 1,300 watts into 4 ohms, from each monobloc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion typically 0.001% at 1kHz and below 0.005% at 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise better than 120dB A-weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA line-level and XLR balanced inputs, plus a 3.5mm trigger input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin sets of speaker terminals for easy bi-wiring; outputs can be daisy-chained to bi-amp suitable speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuge peak current delivery — will drive just about any loudspeaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartners the M8sPRE preamplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications (per monobloc)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully balanced monobloc power amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold as a pair (two chassis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 watts per channel into 8 ohms (28 dBW); approximately 1,300 watts into 4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD + Noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;0.005% typical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD, Additional Published Figures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically 0.001% at 1kHz; below 0.005% at 20kHz; 0.02% at 50kHz; around 0.06% at 100kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;120dB A-weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e +0, −1dB, 10Hz – 80kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x RCA phono line level; 1 x XLR balanced; trigger in on 3.5mm mono jack, ±4.5V to ±15V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twin sets of speaker binding posts (bi-wiring); outputs can be daisy-chained to bi-amp suitable speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — this is a power amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W x H x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 440 x 160 x 460 mm (each chassis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 kg (66 lb) unpacked, 35.5 kg packed — per chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereo Sibling:\u003c\/strong\u003e M8s-500s — a single-chassis fully balanced stereo amplifier, 500 watts per channel into 8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two years, administered by the local national distributor — Harmonia Distribution has handled Musical Fidelity in the United States since 15 November 2025.
