As a manufacturer of hi-fi speakers and premium bass and guitar amps, it may seem hypocritical to tout specs when we usually say we don’t put too much emphasis on specs. The reason? Most specs mean very little because there isn’t a standard to which all manufacturers adhere. And the ears are the ultimate judge.

That said, we’re going to throw some specs at you for the M-5000, but there are really three words we want you to remember: Very. Loud. Clean. Using our measurement tools, the M-5000 goes to 3200 watts bridged at 4 ohms, and is conservatively rated at 1550 watts per side at 2 ohms.
