Pair the EX-M1 Plus with Courbet N°8 floorstanders for detailed midrange, powerful bass and full-scale musical dynamics.
The Kinki Studio EX-M1 Plus is a high-performance Class AB integrated amplifier combining powerful dual-mono amplification with versatile preamplifier functionality. Building on the acclaimed EX-M1, the Plus edition adds a dedicated Home Theater Bypass input, switchable preamplifier output and enhanced system integration.
The EX-M1 Plus delivers 215 watts per channel into 8 ohms with both channels driven. Its discrete power stages employ EXICON lateral MOSFET transistors for fast transient response, precise bass control and effortless dynamic reproduction.
Kinki Studio's current specifications also state 400 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Some earlier documentation and European dealer specifications list 290 watts, making the exact hardware revision relevant when comparing these figures.
Independent left and right amplifier modules are supported by substantial toroidal power transformers. The dual-mono arrangement is designed to minimise interaction between channels and maintain consistent current delivery during demanding musical passages.
Gold-anodised heatsinks provide effective cooling for the EXICON output devices, while the carefully organised internal construction contributes to the amplifier's substantial 25kg weight.
A key advantage over the standard EX-M1 is the dedicated Home Theater Bypass input. When selected, the EX-M1 Plus operates as a power amplifier for a compatible external AV processor or preamplifier.
This enables a high-quality stereo music system to share its front loudspeakers with a multichannel home cinema installation. Volume control is managed by the external processor while bypass mode is active.
The EX-M1 Plus features a configurable RCA preamplifier output with three operating modes:
The additional output allows connection to a compatible external power amplifier or an active subwoofer with a suitable line-level input.
A microprocessor-controlled MUSES electronic volume-control system provides precise attenuation and convenient everyday operation. Three stereo RCA inputs and one stereo XLR input accommodate external DACs, music streamers and other line-level sources.
The amplifier uses a direct-coupled analogue circuit without conventional signal-path coupling capacitors. Its manufacturer-specified damping factor of 2000 reflects a design focused on low output impedance and loudspeaker control.
The EX-M1 Plus includes a redesigned remote control supporting Home Theater Bypass and preamplifier output selection. Its illuminated front-panel display can be dimmed or switched off for distraction-free listening.
Premium internal connectors, refined wiring and a substantial aluminium chassis complete the upgraded design. Black and Silver finishes are available.
The EX-M1 Plus is ideal for listeners who want a powerful analogue integrated amplifier that can also function as a standalone preamplifier or integrate with an AV processor. Pair it with a premium network streamer or DAC and compatible high-performance loudspeakers to create a versatile stereo system.
