The 250i is a pure analogue integrated amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking high performance without digital processing. It features a robust Class A/B output stage with proprietary MOON bipolar transistors, delivering 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms. The amplifier operates in pure Class A for the first 5 watts, ensuring low distortion and excellent sound quality at typical listening levels. It includes six line-level inputs (five RCA, one 3.5mm front-panel mini-jack), a moving magnet (MM) phono input, and a 1/4" headphone output. The chassis is rigidly constructed to minimize vibration, and the unit runs cool for long-term reliability. The 250i is made in Canada and comes with a 10-year warranty when registered.
