For scale and power, not to mention build and style, the Azur 851A is hard to beat
Solidly built, smartly turned out ; Clear display ; Array of inputs ; Big, powerful sound
Lacks organisation and poise when really pushed
But if it’s room-filling sound with impressive clarity, weight and bags of power, then the Cambridge Audio Azur 851A should be on your list.

I originally bought an Arcam SA20 to go with my Monitor Audio Silver 200 speakers but was disappointed with the lack of low end performance. Richer sounds were very obliging in letting me swap (plus the difference) for this CA Azur 851A which I am much...

In my second week of owning this amplifier and I love it. I spent best part of a year researching for a new amplifier and sadly due to pretty much most of that under lockdown I wasn't able to go to a store to demo it. So i looked at as many reviews as...

I needed to upgrade my existing amplifier and I have always been impressed with Cambridge Audio equipment so I narrowed my search to their specific amplifiers and it was the right decision. Easy to set up, I love the ability to customise the display...

Big clear wide - fab. I use a DAC before it for all digital connects. But I can tell you, even with that when I use a phono in the sound is amazing still. My very old dual record player has just come alive with a seperate Cambridge Audio phone stage...
