Infigo Audio Method 6
2 x 3 = 6
Based on our Method 3 Class A Monoblock Amplifiers we proudly present the Method 6 Stereo Amplifier.
Using the award winning Infigo Low Temperature Class A circuitry this amplifier does not run hot, despite being in a smaller enclosure.
Just like it's bigger brothers, it has a DCBA controller to deliver very controlled, powerful bass with no low frequency roll off.
Low Temperature Class A
Low Temperature Class A is notable for the elimination of cross-over distortion, with ultra-fast transient response. Thanks to this development, sonics remain impactful, crisp, and clear, while the amplifier stays cool to the touch. Over time, Low Temperature Class A's lower operating temperature maximizes the life of the amplifier.
DCBA
A highlight of Infigo Audio amplifiers is the company's DCBA™ system.
DCBA™, or DC Bias Adjustment, balances output DC level without limiting low frequency output.
Bass response is tight, powerful, with elimination of phase distortion at lower frequencies thanks to the removal of capacitors in the audio path. The low frequency range extends down to 0 Hz, with a separate protection circuit that disconnects the speakers when the DC level in the signal reaches too high a level.
Aesthetics
The Method 6 comes in silver or black front and top panel, the heatsinks and back panel are in black aluminum.
The custom milled heatsinks from solid blocks of aluminum are curved, not only for aesthetics but also to avoid any mechanical resonances.
And, like all Infigo electronics, the solid top is removable, affording a view of the internal circuitry that is protected by a transparent cover.

The Method 6 brings powerful, controlled bass, a large soundstage, and finely blossoming detail to its compact 100W Class A platform. Karl Sigman found its imaging superb and its presentation unusually involving, with natural piano tone, rich low frequencies, and elegant low-temperature operation. This is a distinctive high-end amplifier for listeners seeking dimensional, musically expressive control.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Large, precisely rendered soundstage with superb imaging and excellent clarity.
Powerful, tight, and surprisingly well-controlled bass, even with speakers extending below 20Hz.
Reveals delicate musical detail and richly developed timbres; piano reproduction was especially impressive.
Elegant compact Class A design that runs warm rather than excessively hot.

Cons
Blinking status lights in cold and warm standby can be a minor nuisance at night.
The reviewer’s reference monoblocks retained a slight edge in outright clarity and offered more power.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 92/100
The Method 6 was praised for a large, precisely organized soundstage, excellent clarity, and an unusually involving way with fine musical details. Its sound combines controlled low frequencies and strong piano reproduction with a balanced, expressive presentation, though the reviewer’s reference monoblocks retained a slight edge in outright clarity.
Transparency Resolution
92/100
The reviewer heard excellent clarity and delicate details that seemed to “blossom,” making instrumental timbres more elaborate and involving. His reference Audio by Van Alstine monoblocks offered a dash more overall clarity, but he found the Method 6 revealing in a distinct and musically rewarding way.
Tonal Balance Musicality
92/100
The presentation was described as beautifully balanced and especially effective at bringing out the character of music. Piano was particularly impressive, while the added elaboration of timbres made listening more engaging rather than merely analytical.
Dynamics
91/100
Despite its relatively moderate 100W-per-channel Class A rating, the Method 6 delivered powerful, tight, and surprisingly well-controlled bass through speakers extending below 20Hz. The reviewer regarded its performance as close to substantially more expensive monoblocks, while noting that it has somewhat less power.
Soundstage Imaging
93/100
The reviewer specifically highlighted a large soundstage and superb imaging. Those spatial strengths were accompanied by excellent clarity and small details that helped images and timbres feel more fully developed.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
89/100
The Method 6 combines a 100W-per-channel Class A output stage with balanced XLR input, very low quoted output impedance, and a damping factor of 550. The reviewer found it elegant and distinctive, and noted that it runs warm rather than excessively hot; its selectable standby modes are useful, although the blinking status light was a minor nighttime annoyance.
Value for Money
92/100
At $20,000, the reviewer considered the Method 6 expensive but highly recommendable for buyers able to afford it. He felt it was arguably as good sounding as his $55,000-per-pair reference monoblocks, aside from their greater power, which makes its asking price look notably competitive in this context.
