SPRING COVE ROOM, LOWER GROUND
Audio Marketing: Musical Fidelity, Inakustik
Audio Marketing is providing the electronics for Bowers & Wilkins loudspeakers in the Spring Cove Room at HIFI2020, part of the Lower Ground 'Sanctuary' at the show. The star will be MUSICAL FIDELITY's new M8xi amplifier (above), an important release as it is the first totally new release from Musical Fidelity since the company was purchased by Audio Tuning last year. Simon Quarry, the genius behind so many Musical Fidelity gems, remains in place as the company's Technical Director and Designer.
And the M8xi is a monster of an amplifier! Rated at 550 watts/channel it is designed to competently drive any loudspeaker in existence. The construction consists of a pre-amp with two mono-block power amps sharing the same chassis. Each component has its own power transformer and heat sinks. Most companies rate distortion measured at 1kHz; Musical Fidelity state a distortion rate of 0.004% at all frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz. Its maximum peak output is 105 amps, and while that may not mean much to many people, to put it into perspective a 240V welder uses 90-100 amps, so you could probably weld with this amp! But it won't be welding at HIFI2020, rather melding fine sounds together with B&W's legendary 800 Series Diamond.
Audio Marketing will be cabling the system with IN-AKUSTIK, which is no ordinary cable manufacturer - In-akustik has its own record label, for example, and since 1977 has been dedicated to perfection in audio, video, music and media cables, focusing strictly on its own product development, and manufacturing its top-quality cables directly in Ballrechten-Dottingen in Germany.
