About this deal
While hi-fi quality speaker binding posts (connectors) mean that thick cable connects securely for an authentic sound – you can even use banana plugs, should you wish. There is a nod to the digital age on both amps with a USB power jack, supplying five volts at a maximum current of 500mA to USB devices such as miniature streamers or bluetooth receivers.
AXA25 | Cambridge Audio
It’s not all that bulky and is visually quite arresting thanks to the minimalist selection of fascia controls and equally minimalist display.For more than 50 years, we've worked hard to deliver products that help you hear your music at it's very best - with nothing added, nothing taken away. I’ve fixed a few AM10s over the years with blown output chips all as a result of driving too heavy a load at too high a volume.
AXA25 - Integrated Amplifier | Cambridge Audio UK
Their recent AVR's over the past few years don't seem to do as well as their predecessors did or their Hifi kit though. By the standards of budget-conscious stereo amplifiers, the Cambridge Audio AXA35 is a remarkably self-assured listen. The AXA35 reviewed as part of the amplifier/CD combo here is a sleek model with a power rating of 2x 35W; 10W up on the cheaper AXA25. The Lunar Grey front panel contrasts with the black top and sides, making it ‘pop’ into crisp focus. Not only is the bass firm, detailed and blessed with excellent timing, but when things become more dance orientated it laps up a decent beat.The AXA35 has plenty of useful facilities for a budget amplifier in the contexts of an aptly specified hi-fi system. The most obvious alternative is Marantz’s PM6006 – these days it can be had for very similar money to the AXA35, and it has an onboard DAC and digital inputs as well as a phono input for a turntable, so is a bit more flexible than the Cambridge Audio. Inside the AXA25 you’ll find quality components and short signal paths for the best sound quality in its class.
