The X5 is the pinnacle of integrated amplifiers, what this provides is quite hard to come across as the price point it's set at, obviously, this is more catered towards the high-end systems, so if you're someone who is looking for ease, then this is the amplifier to go for. This opens the doorway to pairing any type of speaker to this system, with the power it has behind it, we know that it will not struggle. If you're looking for a good pair of speakers to go into this system, we would strongly recommend looking at PMC, possibly one of our favourite combinations and it's pretty hard to beat.

On the more technical side of things, the front panel high-resolution graphic display is configurable to show operating status, 12 band Graphic EQ or Peak Power Meter. Front panel controls and included Michi remote control assure easy operation and configuration. Dual sets of Rhodium-plated custom Michi speaker binding posts allow effortless connection to loudspeakers including bi-wire installations. RS232 and Ethernet connections allow simple integration with control systems.
