Kinki Studio EX-M1+ – Dual Mono Integrated Amplifier
There are appliances that don't need to show off to prove what they are. The Kinki Studio EX-M1 it belongs to that lineage of machines that are defined by their sound: powerful, silent, precise and deeply musical.
Conceived as an authentic dual-mono design in a single chassis, the EX-M1 pursues uncompromised sonic purity. Each channel features its own power supply with an encapsulated transformer of 400 VA, guaranteeing absolute separation and an electrical stability that can be perceived from the very first beat
The volume is not controlled here by a simple potentiometer, but by the acclaimed MUSES 72320, a precision electronic control system used in reference equipment. This system utilises matched resistors with extremely tight tolerances, providing smooth, progressive and completely silent level adjustment.
All the circuitry is traced on a 0.2 µm gold-plated plate, with large soldering areas and additional shielding that reduce interference and background noise to almost negligible levels. The engineers at Kinki Studio have spared no expense or materials: the priority has been the electrical and mechanical excellence, not budget containment.
At its heart are two independent power modules mounted on solid aluminium heat sinks with a gold finish. Each module uses MOSFET EXICON working in class AB, delivering 215 W RMS into 8 Ω —a figure which, beyond the technical aspects, translates into absolute control, genuine dynamism and a sense of authority that is unusual in this category.
Su damping factor of 2000 It allows for the effortless control of any loudspeaker, delivering tight, well-defined bass, a midrange rich in harmonic detail, and an extended, natural treble. As there are no capacitors in the signal path (DC-coupled), the EX-M1 reveals a clarity that surprises even ears accustomed to high-end audio.
The result is a sound neutral, fast and deeply musical, with a tone that combines technical precision and soul. It does not seek to colour the music, but rather to let it flow just as it was recorded: lively, dynamic, full of air and nuance.
The EX-M1 doesn’t set out to impress with gimmicks. It simply does its job masterfully, reminding us that the the beauty of authentic sound lies in the purity of its execution.

Carried away by the excellent reviews of this amplifier on forums, by specialist reviewers and YouTubers, I took the plunge. And wow, BRUTAL, bucketloads of power, dynamics and transparency. No artifices, nor any coloration. It does what an amplifier is supposed to do: maximum transparency and delivery of power and dynamics to get the utmost performance out of your speakers. Besides, it's gorgeous and you can tell it's well made. TOP quality/price ratio.
