"...they just sounded enormous: snappy. intbrmatiye. pacy. It's a mark ol good amps
when the sound is not just a polite tableu but. instead. a three-dimensional entity barely
contained by the speakers. There was bass. there was treble - and there was music."
Straight away I heard amazing imagery. metronomie timekeeping and authentic dynam-
ics."
"...detail. imagery. timing. power in reserve."
...all I can say is that I didnt want to put them back in the box."
Theres something special about the Musical Fidelity X-ASUs. something that
transcends the ordinary. Ifyou can hear it. you should buy em."

...at lW/ZOkHZ, distortion is just 0.007% a figure that compares favourably with the
midband (lW/ 1 kHz) figure of 0.002%. But step on the gas and the distortion increases to
a near inconsequential 0.04%."

"...although the X-ASO is rated at 50W, itll actually deliver 65W continuously into 8
ohms. Under dynamic conditions, however youll squeeze 92W, 180W, 342W and a full
S7lW up to 1% THD into 8. 4. 2 and 1 ohms load respectively.

...23.9Amps remains spectacularly generous for a mere 50W amplifier!
Paul Miller - Lab report, Hi~Fi Choice

...when it comes to performance this is one special amplifier. It boasts smoothness
and Iucidity youd hardly expect for this money.
They go loud and drive hard, meaning theyre able to bang out rock and dance tracks
with serious impact. But they really come into thier own when handling recordings of
real instruments in a real acoustic, delivering a sense of space thats striking, along with
pinsharp instrumental timbres.
...the star is the Musical Fidelity: it looks great, and its sound will hold the attention for
as long as you care to listen.
