The M8s-500s is a fully balanced stereo power amplifier and engineered for very low distortion typically less than .001% of 1kz and below .005% at 20kHz. Even at the level of 50kHz distortion is a mere 0.02% creeping up to around 0.06% at the even more unreasonable figure of 100kHz. These may be measurements of frequencies never encountered in the real world but they prove a point; that the M8s-500s significant less distortion than rival designs.

- Eight versatile inputs
- Excellent design, he-man build quality
- Amazing load driving ability
- Single ended and balanced outputs
