Expert Reviewer David Price sits down with the critically acclaimed Michi Series to explore the range's P5 Preamplifier combined with the S5 Power Amplifier. He was so impressed that the package won Stereonet's 'Applause Award', along with receiving a great review.
"...at its price, the Michi combo is hard to beat – music comes over both as a visceral experience and an emotional sensation too."
"To me, it proved that this pre/power is in another league, truly in the upper echelons of what's possible from amplification. Forget about having a distinctive character, the essence of its sound is cleanliness and evenness buttressed by massive power and punch – all of which is delivered in a hugely controlled and careful way."
"Rotel's new Michi P5/S5 can be given a most enthusiastic recommendation. It's a sort of anti-hero in a way, choosing to play music with tremendous accuracy and strength, without itself doing any showing off."
