That dual-mono architecture is a big part of why Musical Fidelity's integrated amps have a reputation for unusually strong current delivery relative to their rated power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe M6xi is built for listeners who want a serious two-channel amplifier as the center of their system, with enough digital connectivity to also cover a TV, a computer, or a streamer, without stepping up to a full streaming amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003ePower and Control for Difficult Loads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe amplifier section is derived from Musical Fidelity's TITAN power amplifier platform, using a low-distortion Darlington output stage. It's rated at 220 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 320 watts into 4 ohms (continuous, 1% THD), with 45 amps of peak-to-peak current available for the split-second demands of dynamic music and difficult speaker loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003eModern Digital Inputs on a Proven Analog Base\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eWhere the outgoing M6si was limited to a single USB-B input, the M6xi adds a built-in DAC with USB-C (up to 24-bit\/192kHz), optical TOSLINK, coaxial S\/PDIF, and HDMI eARC for connecting a TV directly. Four RCA line-level inputs and a balanced XLR input round out the analog side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003eA Phono Stage Built for Real Turntables\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe onboard phono stage is switchable between moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) cartridges, with 40dB of gain in MM mode and 60dB in MC mode.

A pre-out supports bi-amping or an active subwoofer, an RS232 port allows integration with custom-install control systems, and a 5V\/2A USB-A output can power an external streamer directly, without a separate wall adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003eIs the Musical Fidelity M6xi Right for You?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want serious power with real current reserves.\u003c\/strong\u003e 220 watts per channel and 45A of peak-to-peak current give it authority over speakers that are hard to drive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want one box for turntable, TV, and digital sources.\u003c\/strong\u003e The built-in MM\/MC phono stage, HDMI eARC, and USB-C DAC cover most sources without extra boxes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou're building or completing a multichannel system.\u003c\/strong\u003e The home theater bypass input lets the M6xi serve as your front L\/R power amp alongside an AV receiver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want a straightforward, non-networked amplifier.\u003c\/strong\u003e There's no display screen, app, or built-in streaming platform; a remote and rear-panel controls handle everything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne honest limitation:\u003c\/strong\u003e at 18.5 kg (40.8 lbs) and roughly 17″ wide by 16″ deep, this is a substantial component; confirm your rack or shelf can support the weight and depth before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;\"\u003eSetup, Compatibility \u0026amp; What's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe M6xi connects to speakers via standard binding posts, and to sources through its RCA, XLR, phono, USB-C, optical, coaxial, or HDMI eARC inputs.
