A review of the ROTEL Michi X3 from audioFi.net in Malaysia - so-so performance?

" The X3 is designed as a premium lifestyle amplifier to accommodate the flexible needs of a modern household with multiple sources, catering to both hi-fi and perhaps a 2.1 home theatre system in the living room. "

" Lacklustre phono stage; requires careful matching with speakers... lacks musicality and sparkle. "

It won't be the first time a premium model was out-performed by cheaper product from the same manufacturer
