Kinki Studio EX-M7 Power Amplifier
Dual-Mono Power, Stunning Dynamics – A Pure, Uncompromising Statement
The Kinki Studio EX-M7 is a fully balanced, dual-mono power amplifier designed to deliver effortless control, dynamic realism, and refined musicality. Engineered for audiophiles seeking maximum performance from a dedicated power amp, the EX-M7 borrows heavily from the EX-M1’s acclaimed output stage but strips away volume control and preamp features, resulting in a more focused and purist design.
At its core are two 400VA toroidal transformers, completely independent for each channel, with large filtering capacity and a high-current output stage based on multiple pairs of TO3-style metal can output transistors. This robust design provides 250W per channel into 4 ohms and 180W per channel into 8 ohms, with rock-solid stability across complex speaker loads.
The amplifier is fully discrete and operates in Class AB, offering a musical presentation that is fast, neutral, and transparent, yet never clinical. It communicates timing and microdynamics with finesse, allowing each instrument to be clearly delineated within the soundstage. Bass is tight and authoritative, midrange is open and expressive, and treble is extended without harshness.
The EX-M7 is ideal for pairing with high-end preamplifiers or DACs with variable output, especially in systems that demand the highest possible power delivery without compromising tonal balance. With its industrial-grade build, machined aluminum chassis, and meticulous internal layout, the EX-M7 is both an engineering achievement and a sonic benchmark in its price category.
