Michi S5 Stereo Power Amplifier

The Michi S5 stereo power amplifier is Rotel’s ultimate expression of high-power, high-fidelity amplification, engineered for reference-level two-channel and home audio systems. As part of Rotel’s flagship Michi series, the S5 draws on more than 55 years of audio design experience, combining cutting-edge engineering, meticulous component selection, and the passion of a family-owned manufacturer. Designed to deliver absolute control and musical accuracy, the Michi S5 is built for audiophiles who demand both power and finesse.

At its core, the Michi S5 features a massive in-house-manufactured toroidal transformer, paired with an array of high-capacity slit-foil storage capacitors. This over-specified power supply enables the amplifier to deliver a formidable 500 watts per channel into 8 ohms, with exceptional current capability to drive complex and low-impedance loudspeakers effortlessly. The fully balanced, dual-mono architecture minimises noise and crosstalk, resulting in a wide soundstage, precise imaging, and outstanding dynamic headroom.

Sound quality is further enhanced through precision-matched output devices, ultra-low-noise circuitry, and both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs for system flexibility. Encased in a rigid, CNC-machined aluminium chassis with iconic Michi industrial design, the S5 offers superior thermal stability, long-term reliability, and a commanding visual presence. The Michi S5 power amplifier stands as a statement of performance, engineering integrity, and uncompromising sound quality.
