Integrated amplifiers — MOREaudio CS100

The CS100 is a genuinely distinctive integrated amplifier from MOREaudio, built around a unique circuit topology that abandons global feedback entirely in favour of local feedback applied at each individual stage. The CS100 brings MOREaudio's considered engineering to a serious, feedback-topology-focused integrated amplification format.

Key specs that matter

Output power is 2x100W into 8 ohms, rising to 2x200W into 4 ohms. Four single-ended analogue inputs are provided, with input sensitivity of 600mV and input impedance of 100,000 ohms. Output impedance is a remarkably low 0.15 ohms. Frequency response spans a genuinely wide 5Hz to 120,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is 0.05%. At 340 x 180 x 330mm and 15kg, the CS100 maintains a genuinely manageable integrated-amplifier chassis reflecting MOREaudio's considered engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect a genuinely distinctive, high-quality character reflecting the local-feedback-per-stage topology MOREaudio positions as central to the CS100's sound, with the remarkably low 0.15-ohm output impedance delivering exceptional control over connected loudspeakers.

Pairing

The power-doubling behaviour from 8 to 4 ohms combined with the low output impedance make the CS100 genuinely compatible with a wide range of loudspeaker impedances.
