Description
CXA81 Integrated Stereo Amplifier
Delivering award-winning sound, this amplifier is a 4-time What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year—a testament to its exceptional audio performance. With 80 watts per channel, it packs enough power to effortlessly drive even the most demanding speakers, while its Class AB amplification ensures a perfect balance of detail, warmth, and efficiency.
At the heart of its design is a toroidal transformer, providing superior sound-staging and low noise for a more immersive listening experience. Digital music comes alive thanks to the high-performance ESS Sabre ES9016 DAC, revealing every nuance in high-resolution tracks.
Versatile connectivity is a key feature, with TOSLINK, Coaxial, and USB audio inputs supporting playback up to 24-bit/384kHz and DSD256 from Mac or PC. For audiophiles seeking premium signal paths, balanced XLR inputs deliver ultra-low noise and maximum fidelity.
Enjoy seamless, high-quality wireless streaming with Bluetooth aptX HD, making it easy to connect to compatible devices—including the Alva TT V2 turntable—for a clean, cable-free setup.
Rewarding Performance
Our CXA81 integrated amplifier builds on the foundations laid by the first CX Series, and over 50 years’ experience of building amps. It offers a progressive perspective – effortless, poised and sophisticated. 80 watts per channel give CXA81 complete authority over music, to reveal every emotion and nuance from your whole music collection – be that streamed or on disc.
CX Black Edition
We present a 1000-piece limited edition of each CX Series 2 model in a minimalist matt black finish, with discreet gloss black branding. The same award-winning sound as CX, only in black. Why? Because we thought they’d look dead cool. If you want some, please don’t delay – CX Black Edition won’t be here for long.
Your World’s a Stage
The thing that hits you when you hear CXA81 for the first time, is just how detailed everything sounds. You’ll pick up instruments, subtle shifts in tone, and harmonies you’ve previously missed. Close your eyes, and you’ll be able to place every musician in the soundstage. Once you’ve experienced CXA81, there’s no turning back.
Return on Investment
Our engineering team in London invested hours researching, developing, experimenting and, above all, listening to ensure that CXA81 was right. Their goal: to make the most accomplished and absorbing integrated amp in its class. Every component selected, and decision made, based on the desire to deliver the most complete musical picture possible.
Effortlessly Musical
At the heart of CXA81 beats a Class AB power amplifier stage with optimised capacitor values. It takes the musicality of Class A and blends it with the efficiency of Class B. The amp’s short signal path is efficient, leaving little opportunity for interference. The resulting sound is pristine while delivering the emotional impact the artist intended.
Power with Control
Thanks to a generous toroidal transformer, CXA81 delivers a prodigious 80 watts of power per channel. Dual taps into the left and right of the amplification board mean that, in effect, each channel has its own power supply – resulting in a vivid sound stage. Dynamic shifts in music – like those loud then quiet moments – are handled with ease.
