Rewarding Performance
CXA61 builds on the foundations laid by the original CX Series, and over 50 years’ experience of designing amplifiers. It provides a fresh perspective, with 60 watts per channel of pure excitement. It’s a punchy and upfront listen, without giving away detail or precision – whether you want to recreate the atmosphere of the mosh pit or the concert hall.
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.
Lost in Your Music
Designed to bring you closer to the music you love, CXA61 places you right at the heart of your favourite recordings – revealing every note in the most natural, effortless, and detailed way imaginable. Analogue or digital, lo-fi or hi-res, CXA61 lets the music take you wherever you want to go.
Return on Investment
Our engineering team in London invested hours researching, developing, experimenting and, above all, listening to ensure that CXA61 was right. Their goal: to deliver a thrilling, focused and detailed musical performance. Every component selected, and decision made, based on the desire to make the CXA61 a very accomplished integrated amplifier.
Effortlessly Musical
At the heart of CXA61 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 leaves little opportunity for interference. The resulting sound is detailed, while delivering the emotional impact the artist intended.
Power with Control
Thanks to its toroidal transformer, CXA61 delivers 60 watts of pure power per channel. With a special volume pot designed to minimise crosstalk, the result is an amplifier with reserves of power – ready to exploit the dynamic potential of your speakers and deliver volume without stress or distortion.
All of the Music
To deliver the maximum musical experience, no matter the source, CXA61 has a digital board featuring the acclaimed ESS Sabre ES9010 K2M digital-to-analogue convertor (DAC). CXA61 can bring digital audio files, up to high resolution 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256, vividly to life – combining convenience with a performance unimagined at this price.
Get Connected
CXA61 is a well-connected amp. As well as digital optical and coaxial connections, it features plenty of stereo analogue inputs alongside wireless hi-res connectivity via Bluetooth aptX HD – perfect for sources like an Alva ST turntable. You can even connect a second pair of speakers, to share your music with another room.
Designed for Life
Thanks to the relentless dedication of our team in London, CXA61 is a complete solution. Its combination of versatility and high performance, means it can form the centre of your musical system for many years to come. Its elegant, minimalistic lines, crafted from aluminium and steel, will endure both physically and aesthetically.

Great amp sounds great
Brilliant
I love this amp, has everything that's needed. I'm using it for my decks set up with multiple speakers which I can choose from whenever. Only slight gripe is the Bluetooth is inconsistent to connect to. Other than that, brilliant and looks the part too.
Exquisite Sound, Great Looks, and Great Value*
The only negative I have read about the CXA61 is that the price went up vs. the CX60. When Cambridge decided to discontinue the CXA61 and deep discount it, *it eliminated the one negative, and I got the deal of the century. I listen to a lot of old jazz and the production quality varies, often artificially too bright. For this reason I miss the tone controls. Also, my system is in my den/office so I have two listening positions. When I'm working, it'd be nice to balance the speakers so the sound would be better while I'm working. Also, it took a while to figure out how the remote control controlled the volume. Once I did, no problem. At the end of the day, with the right recording, in my listening chair, I can't image music sounding much better for my budget. I love Cambridge and their customer service!

Dear Valued CustomerIt's great to hear that you were able to take advantage of a good deal on the Cambridge Audio CXA61 and that you're enjoying the sound quality.The concern about the price increase is understandable but it's fantastic that you were able to get a great deal and feel that you got the deal of the century.
The fact that you find the sound quality to be excellent within your budget is a significant positive.Your feedback on the tone controls is interesting.
While some audiophiles prefer a purist approach without tone controls many people find them useful for tailoring the sound to personal preferences or compensating for variations in recording quality.
It's good to hear that you've adapted to the absence of tone controls and are enjoying the overall experience.Balancing speakers for different listening positions is a practical consideration especially in a multi-purpose room like a den/office.
It's great that you found a solution to enhance the sound quality while working.Lastly positive experiences with customer service contribute significantly to overall satisfaction with a brand.
It's good to know that you've had a positive experience with Cambridge Audio's customer service.We hope that you will enjoy your music and the listening experience for years with your Cambridge Audio setup.Kind Regards

Excellent stereo amplifier
I have been using the CXA61 for about a month now. The CXA61 is an excellent amplifier with great sound and more than enough power. It really brings my music more to life in comparison to my previous amp. Decent bass too. Installing and setting up was easy. Can absolutely recommend trying the CXA61 out.
