MOON North Collection 641 Integrated Amplifier

MOON 641 Integrated Amplifier (North Collection)

The MOON 641 Integrated Amplifier is built to be the true centerpiece of a high-performance hi-fi system—combining a dedicated preamplifier and a powerful dual-mono amplifier stage in one beautifully engineered chassis. Rated at 125 W per channel into 8Ω and 250 W per channel into 4Ω, it delivers effortless dynamics, confident speaker control, and clean musical authority even with demanding loudspeakers.

At the heart of its performance are MOON’s advanced circuit technologies, including MDCA (MOON Distortion-Cancelling Amplifier) to reduce distortion without relying on global feedback, and M-VOL3 for highly precise electronic gain control with stable channel tracking—especially valuable for low-level listening. A 4.3" LCD color graphic display makes daily use intuitive, while thoughtful connectivity—including multiple analog inputs, configurable line output, MOONLink, and Ethernet networking—helps the 641 integrate cleanly into modern systems. Designed and assembled in Québec, the 641 delivers premium build quality, refined usability, and the kind of tonal grip and composure that elevates every source you connect. The MOON 641 is part of ListenUp's MOON Integrated Amplifier Collection.
