CAMBRIDGE AUDIO CX-A81 MKII

Rewarding Power​
CXA81 Mk II builds on the success of its multi award-winning predecessors. We havent looked back since making our first integrated amplifier in 1968, always looking for new ways to improve your listening experience while recognising that great sound never goes out of fashion. ​
​CXA81 Mk II is effortless, poised and sophisticated only more so. 80 watts per channel give it complete authority over your music, to reveal every emotion and nuance contained within it.

Raising the Standard
How do we improve on CXA81, an amplifier regarded by many as the standard-bearer at its price point?
Focusing on the all-important signal path, we re-engineered it with premium components end to end, plus an upgraded DAC and a whole load of listening and tuning; all part of a relentless drive to deliver new clarity and depth.
The outcome? Audio performance that goes way beyond expectations.
