The Michi X3 is a fantastic integrated amplifier. The technology is based on the technology of the Michi P5 and S5 pre- and power amplifiers but has been packed into one device. With a very beautiful industrial design, sturdy construction and versatile connections, the X3 sounds incredibly good. The metal remote control crowns the whole. Considering the functions and sound quality, the X3 is an incredibly good device in terms of price/quality ratio. Welcome to listen.
Very sturdy amplifier
Although the Michi X3 is the most affordable integrated in the Michi series, it is a very robust amplifier. It has a power of 350w per channel and the amplifier class is traditional AB class.
The device is built beautifully, the body is impressively large and weighs over 28kg. The quality of the Michi is easy to sense even before the first listen.
Structure and connections
Michi is based on a traditional AB amplifier solution and Dualmono structure combined with a high-quality balanced preamplifier. So the recipe is right. Modern needs have also been taken into account as Michi includes AKM's high-quality 32-bit DA converter and APTX/AAC bluetooth receiver. The X3 also has a built-in MM phono stage.
Sound
The Rotel Michi X3 combines impressive dynamics and resolution with a very pleasant sound balance. This amplifier is easy to listen to for long periods of time, and the device's impressive power reserve gives the listener a sense of relief, the sound is airy and effortless with all types of speakers.
X3 Technical specifications
The Michi X3 Integrated Amplifier delivers uncompromising audio performance conveniently packaged in an elegant industrial design. The X3 delivers 350 Watts of Class AB output power into 4 ohm loads maintaining musical accuracy with exceptional acoustic detail from the Analog, Digital, PC-USB, apt-X Bluetooth and Moving Magnet Phono Stage source inputs.
