This product is no longer available to order and will not be coming back into stock.
In Stock products are those that are currently held in stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse. This stock status is updated regularly but is subject to change at very short notice.
Products that are Awaiting Stock are items that we would normally carry on stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse, but are currently unavailable. Chances are there is already more on the way, but if you would like a more accurate availability status please feel free to Contact Us.
Urgent order items are products that we do not normally carry on stock, but they are typically held on stock by our European suppliers. Depending on availability, we will seek to order these products quickly, when we have an enquiry. They can therefore be subject to quicker availability times than "Special Order" products.
Special Order items are those that are most often built to order. For these items, we tend to experience longer lead times as we negotiate them into the production line with our suppliers.
Exclusive products are sold only through one, or sometimes a very small number of dealers. As part of their commitment to the product’s exclusivity, they carry most of the available stock.

When Titan was released back in 2008, it took the HiFi world by storm due to its groundbreaking dual mono power amplifier technology. Musical Fidelity are now trickling this flagship-style thinking to a more accessible, lower-power-tuned packages like the M5xi - which is essentially a dedicated preamp partnered with two independent monobloc power amps that share the same casework much like the Titan.
A massive, extruded aluminium front panel and metal casework help resist vibration and act as a Faraday cage. Inside, the main transformer and power supply PCB are encapsulated in metal to reduce electromagnetic interference - benefiting the entire amplifier, especially the sensitive phono stage.
A completely new MM/MC phono stage adds moving-coil support and uses improved shielding, isolation and circuit layout to lower noise and distortion - crucial for high-gain amplification. Digital and ARC circuitry sit on separate boards with their own linear power supply to keep RF interference away from the analogue amplification stages.
HDMI eARC makes TV integration effortless while keeping true two-channel performance front and centre. Optical, coaxial and USB-C digital inputs (up to 24-bit/192kHz) broaden source options. Featuring Home Theatre Bypass to integrate the M5xi into an AV system with ease: it bypasses the preamp stage so the M5xi operates as a high-performance stereo power amplifier for your front left/right speakers. Pre-Out/Line-Out connections add system-building flexibility, letting you connect external power amplifiers for upgrades and bi-amping configurations. For custom installation and reliable system control, the M5xi also includes an RS232 interface.
The redesigned remote is lightweight and comfortable in the hand, with colour-coding in Musical Fidelity’s brand colours. It’s designed for universal compatibility across M-series components, helping you run your system with a single controller.
With 160 watts per channel into 8Ω and 240 watts into 4Ω, the M5xi is built for headroom and composure. Its TITAN-derived stability and increased output capability help it stay authoritative through demanding loudspeaker loads and low-impedance dips.
A low-distortion Darlington output stage in the classic Musical Fidelity configuration is designed to eliminate crossover artefacts while keeping residual distortion extremely low. Careful PCB optimisation reduces imbalances and the need for corrective feedback, with purely analogue power supplies during operation to minimise high-frequency noise and EMC-related interference.
The fully analogue preamplifier stage is engineered for low noise and signal integrity across the full dynamic range, preserving microdetail and stable imaging at any listening level. A Burr-Brown stepped attenuator improves channel matching for precise stereo balance and consistent tonal accuracy.
The M-Series brings together a full line-up of premium hi-fi components for serious two-channel sound - from high-current integrated amplifiers and power amplifiers to complete high-end system solutions - designed to deliver the brand’s signature clarity, control and musical detail in a matching, stackable chassis design; choose the right level of power and performance for your system and enjoy a setup that looks as good as it sounds.

Henley Says...
The M5xi brings Musical Fidelity’s signature power and musicality into a more compact, accessible integrated amplifier. It’s designed to be the centre of a serious HiFi system, delivering a confident, full-bodied sound with real drive and scale, without ever feeling overcomplicated.
What stands out most is how easy it is to enjoy. The M5xi balances strength with refinement, offering a smooth, controlled presentation that works effortlessly across all genres and listening styles. Whether you’re streaming or spinning vinyl, it has that engaging, no-fuss character that makes you want to keep listening - an impressive all-round performer that delivers far more than its position might suggest.
