Flexible and fearsomely musical, the Cambridge CXA81 integrated amplifier is a significant step on from the amp it replaces
Extensive spec ; Understated looks ; Thoroughly enjoyable and convincing sound
Ordinary remote ; No phono stage
Cambridge’s CXA81 integrated amplifier improves upon the enjoyable if flawed CXA80 with new features, putting in an authoritative performance. It’s currently the best integrated amplifier you can buy for around £1000.

Live in Johannesburg and bought the CXA81, together with the CA CXNv2 streamer, based purely on Reviews and Buyer Feedback. Have it connected to Martin Logan Motion 40i's and a CA Azur 651C. The soundstage and clarity are really exceptional, and the...

I purchased 4 Monitor Audio ceiling speakers and a Cambridge amplifier, after detailed review loft design and layout. Service excellent from start of investigation to delivery of product.
