Hifi Gold Music Fidelity Elektra E100 Flagship Solid State integrated Amplifier pristine condition with XLR inputs Top Spec

This is a stunning piece of hifi
Build quality is exceptional
And sound to match


The Musical Fidelity Elektra E100 is the flagship and most powerful integrated solid-state amplifier in Musical Fidelity's popular Elektra "E" series. Known for its premium build quality and highly polished anodised aluminium fascia, the unit functions as a purist, wide-bandwidth amplifier that strips away tone controls and filters to presilerve a clean, transparent, and smooth audio signal. Internally, it is essentially engineered as the combination of the E20 preamplifier and E30 power amplifier housed within a single chassis.

Key Specifications

Power Output: 70 Watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms (though often benchmarked up to 100W under different parameters).

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): < 0.05% across the full 20Hz – 20kHz bandwidth.

Frequency Response: Superbly flat below 20Hz, rolling off marginally (~0.5dB down) at 30kHz.

Weight and Dimensions: 12.5 kg | 44 cm (W) x 35 cm (D) x 12 cm (H).

Connectivity & Features

Input Selection: Equipped with 5 line-level inputs, a tape monitor loop, and a dedicated, high-quality Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage. [1, 2]

Balanced Inputs: Includes dual XLR inputs on its Aux 2 channel, allowing balanced source components to be integrated. [1, 2]

Pre-Out / Main-In Loop: Features physical phono terminals on the rear that allow the signal chain to be broken. This flexibility enables the E100 to be utilized as either a standalone preamplifier or a dedicated power amplifier for bi-amplification configurations. [1, 2]

Motorised Volume Control: Features a motorized volume dial paired with an original remote control, allowing physical volume adjustment from a distance without resorting to electronic gain compromises. [1, 2]

Speaker Terminals: Combined 4mm banana plug sockets utilizing solid knurled metal nuts for secure, low-resistance cable connections. [1]

Sonic Character and Market Presence

Historically, the hi-fi press—such as Hi-Fi Review magazine—praised the E100 for producing a very satisfying and solid acoustic delivery that smoothly flatters music playback across most genres. Because it is no longer in production, the E100 is predominantly sought after on second-hand audio sites like Reverb and eBay by collectors and vintage audiophiles seeking classic British amplifier performance.

The Musical Fidelity Elektra E100 is a vintage solid-state integrated stereo amplifier that served as the flagship and most powerful model of Musical Fidelity’s popular Elektra E-series. Highly regarded by audiophiles for its clean, transparent, and smooth sound signature, it is designed as a purist, wide-bandwidth unit with no tone or balance controls in order to keep the audio signal path as pristine as possible. [1, 2, 3]

Core Specifications

Power Output: 70 Watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms (though often cited informally at around 100W).

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): Less than 0.05% across the full 20Hz – 20kHz bandwidth.

Frequency Response: Flat well below 20Hz, and only about 0.5dB down at 30kHz.

Weight: 12.5 kg.

Dimensions: 44 cm x 35 cm x 12 cm (W x D x H). [1, 2, 3]

Connectivity & Features

Inputs: Includes 5 line-level inputs, 1 dedicated Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage for turntables, and 2 balanced XLR inputs. [1, 2]

Pre-Out / Main-In Terminals: Features a removable U-link loop on the rear panel, allowing the unit to be split and utilized strictly as a standalone pre-amplifier or power amplifier, or integrated into a bi-amplified system. [1, 2]

Motorised Volume Control: Employs a premium motorized potentiometer, allowing true remote-controlled volume adjustment without introducing electronic gain degradation. [1]

Aesthetics: Styled with a highly polished black anodized aluminum fascia and a robust, heavy chassis accented by a diecast aluminum volume knob featuring an LED indicator. [1, 2]
