The Rotel Michi S5 Stereo Amplifier - Sheer performance is what you're going to be getting, the S5 is rated the best in its class, delivering 500 watts of Class AB power into 8ohms and over 800 watts into 4ohm loads.

Like all the other Michi products, three years went into experimenting and testing the S5, countless man-hours of fine engineering to bring you one of the top, industry-standard sounds. The S5 has been tuned to ensure that the listener will experience, clean, crisp and ever-so-detailed sound, the S5 has an elegant design, with a rather sweet-looking front panel colour display. The remote that comes with this will provide you with an easy setup and operation with the RS232 and Ethernet connections supporting all popular control systems.
