MI240 Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity Aug’ 01 Exclusive Review

“My tests indicated excellent bandwidth performance… The chassis and PCB quality appear to be very high. Frankly, I am surprised that it is only the price that it is…. The remote control is a Home Theater Master SL-9000 that has been programmed and monogrammed specifically for Myryad. I am pleased to see a hi-fi manufacturer taking this approach, using a good accepted standard, rather than supplying their own specific design that might or might not be easy to use… Having listened to some very high end, very expensive (over three times the price) power amplifiers recently, I was quite surprised to hear how well the MI240 measured up… In all cases, the amount of delicate detail that came through was nothing short of amazing, and it was all very clean. The MI240 is truly a fine product. The MI240 is an exemplary audio product. It meets all the standards of Secrets; it looks great, sounds terrific, is built well, easy to set up and use, and it has strong value for the dollar. Listen to one even if you are not in the market. You will be as impressed as I was. “

MI240 Hi-Fi World Aug’01 Exclusive Review

“The MI240 is a real John Surtees of an amp – able to drive anything – the power amplifier section is based closely on the company’s MA240 dedicated Power Amp… When it comes to sound quality, it’s best to think of the MI240 as a separate pre-power amp combination in one chassis… Music was produced with more than ample power and dynamics with an overall transparent and deep sound… Rock music was well controlled in the nether regions. The MI240 showed plenty of power and control and gave a clear and extended sound that was undeniably impressive… The MI240 is well worth a listen for anyone on the hunt for a big time integrated. The competition in the market is strong, but the Myryad demands a listen. It has insight and detail with good bass and a sweetish treble. With classical, it’s insightful and detailed with a strong hold on line and pulse to make it a worth all rounder… Mix these sonic traits with the advanced electronic user facilities that are actually useful as well as easy to use and you have a package that can be highly recommended… A powerful and detailed sound that’s easy to live with, plus great flexibility and features. “
