CH Precision M1.1 Power Amplifier

CH Precision M1.1 Flagship Power Amplifier (available in Mono or Stereo version)

Building upon the advanced knowledge on power capacitor gathered during the developed of the A1.5 amplifier, the power section of the M1 has been improved so much that it led to the introduction of the M1.1 new reference power amplifier.

M1’s original 100’000uF rectifying capacitors have been upgraded with two monstrous 120’000uF models based on the same technology as the A1.5’s acclaimed capacitors. “One small step that has led to a giant leap in musical performance”, according to reviewer Roy Gregory.

The M1’s comfortable power specifications remain, with each watt being more refined than ever.

Of course, every M1 owner can contact their local dealer to get their amplifier upgraded to this next level of performances.
