Further Information

Discover the pre-owned Musical Fidelity M8PRE Preamplifier and M8 700M Monoblock Power Amplifier Bundle at Len Wallis Audio.

Delivers powerful, transparent sound with fully balanced design for audiophiles.

Key Features

Fully Balanced Design: M8PRE ensures stress-free sound with low-noise performance.
Powerful Monoblocks: Each M8 700M delivers 700W into 8 ohms, 1,300W into 4 ohms.
Low Distortion: M8 700M achieves 0.001% THD at 1 kHz for pristine audio.
Versatile Connectivity: Includes MM/MC phono stage, balanced inputs, and bi-wiring outputs.
Robust Build: 17 kg preamp and 30 kg per monoblock for solid, reliable performance.

Paired with two M8 700M monoblocks, each delivering 700W into 8 ohms and 1,300W into 4 ohms, this setup offers immense power with a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB, as noted by The Absolute Sound in 2013 for its “low noise floor” and “authority” in bass reproduction, making it ideal for driving any loudspeaker with precision and depth.

The M8 700M monoblocks, with their fully balanced bridged design and distortion as low as 0.001% at 1 kHz, ensure a transparent soundstage with massive dynamics, excelling in delivering both delicate details and thunderous bass. The preamplifier’s high input overload margins and low-impedance outputs allow it to drive the monoblocks over any cable length, ensuring flexibility in setup.

This pre-owned bundle, built in 2012-2013, is in good condition, though one monoblock has chips at the back with a bit of rust, which does not affect performance. Audition this Musical Fidelity M8PRE Preamplifier and M8 700M Monoblock Power Amplifier at our Lane Cove showroom to experience its ability to create a spacious soundstage that brings every note to life.
