Summary:
Up for sale is a Rotel Michi S5 dual-mono stereo power amplifier, in excellent condition. As the flagship stereo amplifier in Rotel’s statement Michi line, the S5 is built like two monoblocks in one chassis, with a pair of massive 2,200VA toroidal transformers (one per channel) and 188,000µF of British-made bulk capacitance feeding 32 high-current output transistors. The result is 500 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 800 watts into 4 ohms, along with a damping factor of 350 and a 120dB signal-to-noise ratio for tight, controlled bass and a remarkably quiet background. Balanced XLR and RCA inputs, rhodium-plated 5-way binding posts, a front-panel color display, and Ethernet/IP, RS232, and trigger control make it equally at home in a dedicated two-channel room or a custom-integrated system. Reviewers have called it one of the most capable stereo amplifiers in its class, with the headroom to drive nearly any speaker with ease. A true heavyweight at 132 lbs, and a standout choice for the serious high-end system. Shows excellent condition with no notable wear.
