Cambridge Audio AERO 5

Articulate, detailed and punchy presentation ; Great rhythmic drive with music ; Fine integration ; Impressively cohesive soundfield

Not the last word in refinement, so care needs to be taken when it comes to system matching ; Subwoofer reaches its limits relatively early

Best traditional package £1500-£2500, Awards 2014. Cambridge Audio has delivered an excellent 5.1 package that is as exciting, informative and seamless as we’ve heard for the money

Fabulously cohesive soundstage; powerful, articulate sound; solid build quality

BMRs lack a little refinement compared with traditional tweeters; subwoofer requires careful setup; boxy design
