At 20 kHz distortion is still below 0.005%. Distortion at 50 kHz (a ridiculous and unreasonable measurement, but revealing of the total amplifier performance nonetheless) is 0.02%. At 100 kHz, it is about 0.06%. These extraordinary measurements, and the extremely low high-frequency distortion, are highly significant sonically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe noise ratio of the M8s-700m is extremely low at -120 dB A-weighted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8s-700m has huge power reserves, producing 700 watts RMS into 8 ohms and just on 1300 watts into 4 ohms. It is an absolute powerhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power, low distortion and the extremely low noise contribute to its fabulous, effortless sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound quality and design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8s-700m is extremely powerful and dynamic. The sound is sweet, clear and uncoloured. Dynamics are massive and are delivered with instantaneous speed, both starting and stopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8s-700m sound stage is huge, wide and deep. It creates large amounts of air and space, and is holographic in its presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar in size and design package to the M6s 500i, the M8s-700m offers a compelling combination of fully balanced circuitry, extraordinary technical performance, exquisite sound, intelligent packaging and value for money makes a compelling case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully balanced, monster power 700W per monobloc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaggering technical performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuge peak current delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncredible load driving ability, will drive any loudspeaker with any cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent design, he-man build quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign + Build\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we launched our limited-edition Titan power amplifier in back in 2008, its massive power and unique design required very large dimensions and an equally hefty price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubsequent technical advances – plus immense customer interest – have inspired us to develop a more affordable, more conventional-looking successor of the Titan: the M8s-700m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8s-700m is a fully balanced monobloc power amplifier, which – as its model number suggests – packs 700 watts of power in its sleek black casing. That's 700 watts RMS into 8ohms; and about 1300 watts into 4ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's approaching the powerhouse performance of the 1Kw Titan itself, and indeed measurements show that in action there's only about 1.25dB between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike its Titan forbear, the M8s-700m is engineered for extremely low distortion – typically 0.001% at 1kHz; below 0.005% at 20kHz. Even at the ridiculous level of 50kHz, distortion is a mere 0.02%, creeping up to around 0.06% at 100kHz. They may be unreasonable figures, but they prove a point: the M8s-700m has significantly less distortion than rival measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgain like the Titan, the M8s-700m is a low-noise power amplifier, with a minimal noise ratio of -120dB A-weighted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of the huge power reserves, low distortion and low noise contribute to the M8s-700m's extraordinary, effortless performance. It sounds almost undistinguishable from the Titan, displaying the same ability to deliver anything from massive dynamics to delicate detail with incredible speed and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhatever style of music you want to listen to, the M8s-700m serves it up in a spacious soundstage rivalled only by the Titan  - or a live musical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts power and balance means the M8s-700m can drive just about any speaker you choose, backed by flexible connectivity options. Twin sets of speaker terminals make bi-wiring simple, and the M8s-700m's outputs can be 'daisy chained' to bi-amp suitable speakers. It is, of course, the perfect partner – visually and sonically – for our M8 pre-amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReception for the new M8s-700m has been highly enthusiastic. Many press reports have highlighted its more room and wallet-friendly form, while What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision dubbed it the \"son of Titan\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower output: 700 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms (28 dBW)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD(+ noise): \u0026lt;0.005% typical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio: \u0026gt;120dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: +0, –1dB, 10Hz to 80kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x RCA Phono Line Level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Line level XLR Balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Trigger input 3.5mm (1\u003cem\u003e\/\u003c\/em\u003e8”) mono jack ±4.5 to ±15V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions - WxHxD (mm): 440 x 160 x 460\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (unpacked \/ packed): 30 kg \/ 35.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48270622032095,"sku":"M8S700MB","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":48270622064863,"sku":"M8S700MS","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4677\/2191\/files\/M8S700MB_1.jpg?v=1766435091","url":"https:\/\/www.gentec-intl.com\/fr\/products\/musical-fidelity-m8s700m-mono-power-amplifier","provider":"Gentec Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
