Musical Fidelity B1XI

Musical Fidelity B1xi Integrated Amplifier

The Musical Fidelity B1xi is a high-performance integrated amplifier that combines classic hi-fi engineering with versatile modern connectivity. Built around a fully discrete Class A/B amplifier design and a substantial toroidal power transformer, it delivers 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 100 watts into 4 ohms, and up to 140 watts peak into 2 ohms, providing plenty of control and dynamic headroom for a wide range of loudspeakers.

Designed with both traditional and modern systems in mind, the B1xi includes three pairs of RCA line inputs, a dedicated MM phono stage, optical and coaxial digital inputs, HDMI ARC, and Bluetooth 5.1. Its digital inputs support up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM, while the built-in phono stage makes it easy to connect a turntable directly.

Musical Fidelity has also focused on low-noise, high-quality analogue circuitry. The preamplifier section uses a dedicated linear power supply, while the amplifier's analogue volume control and discrete output stage are designed to preserve musical detail and dynamics. A variable RCA preamp output is provided for connecting a subwoofer, external power amplifier, or bi-amping setup.

Housed in a robust metal chassis, the B1xi combines understated styling with the build quality expected from Musical Fidelity. Measuring 430 × 90 × 324 mm and weighing 7.2 kg, it makes an excellent centerpiece for a serious stereo system, whether your sources are vinyl, digital music, television, or Bluetooth devices.
