Cambridge Audio Azur 851A

 

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.

Fabulous sound but....

 

Let's state clearly at the beginning that I've not heard a better sounding amp at this sort of price level and I've had a few and listened to many more down the years. The sound essentially is simply clean natural which I want for the wide range of...

A worthy upgrade

 

Recently, due to my 14-year-old amplifier - NAD 3020 BEE - generating a number of faults, I decided to replace it with a mid-range one: the Cambridge Audio Azur 851A. It was certainly a significant difference, both in build and sound quality; so much...

Top notch amp. Worth every penny and more!

 

First things first. This is no looker of an amp by today's standards. There is a basic display at the front with the settings and volume but there are more attractive amps on the market. If anything, it looks better in pictures than in real life. That...

Worth it

 

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...

Great Smooth Sound, a Fabulous Amplifier

 

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...

Fantastic Amp'

 

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...

Love this Amp

 

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...
