El Edge W se ha diseñado para escuchar música a todo volumen. Cuando lo hagas, disfrutarás de un sonido dinámico y potente con toda la musicalidad de tus canciones. Con tan solo 14 componentes cuidadosamente seleccionados, el Edge W tiene una de las rutas de señal más limpias disponibles. Ofrece nuestro asombroso sonido británico sin adulterar, sin añadidos pero sin echar en falta nada.
A pesar de su gran potencia, el Edge W ofrece un sonido con grandes matices. El sonido está perfectamente equilibrado, con una profundidad y claridad musical que se transmiten en cada nota. Esto es posible gracias a la forma en la que elegimos los componentes: nunca por el precio, las especificaciones ni la medición de sus prestaciones. Escuchamos con rigurosidad. Y creamos nuestro sistema con unos componentes que suenan de una forma inmejorable. Esto se traduce en un amplificador de potencia que hace que las grabaciones originales cobren vida como ningún otro.
Aunque minimalista en su parte exterior, el Edge W dispone de un complejo sistema de audio en su interior. Para eliminar las barreras que te separan de la música, hemos trabajado duro para minimizar el número de componentes en la ruta de la señal. En consecuencia, el Edge W ofrece una reproducción más fiel de la grabación original; un sonido tridimensional con un impresionante nivel de detalle y una puesta en escena y concentración sorprendentes.
Hemos sido pioneros utilizando transformadores toroidales en amplificadores, con lo que hemos logrado un mejor rendimiento. Con la gama Edge vamos un paso más allá, utilizando transformadores toroidales dobles de simetría opuesta. Esto cancela la interferencia electromagnética y al mismo tiempo ofrece una potencia excepcional, y mantiene la tonalidad constante, sea cual sea el nivel del volumen de reproducción.
El uso de la tecnología estándar de amplificación de Clase A no ha sido lo suficientemente eficiente para el Edge W. En su lugar, hemos añadido polarización a un diseño tradicional de Clase AB, reduciendo la distorsión para que sea inaudible para el oído humano. Además, esta configuración única produce menos calor y hace que todo el sistema sea mucho más eficaz.
Los sistemas Edge se han diseñado para que funcionen en perfecta sintonía. Disfruta del Edge W junto con nuestro versátil preamplificador con reproductor de red Edge NQ, para crear un sistema de alta fidelidad con un sonido y un aspecto únicos.

Dear Mark,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed review of the Edge W. We appreciate your considered observations and the comparisons you’ve made with other amplification systems.
We are pleased to hear that you found the Edge W delivers a strong soundstage and a smooth, well-rounded frequency response.
With regard to your comments on volume and perceived output power, it’s worth noting that the Edge W employs an analogue volume control and a Class XA amplification topology, which differs from Class D or Class AB designs in both its operating characteristics and how gain is applied. As such, the volume position on the dial does not directly correlate with output power in the same way as digital or stepped attenuators might. The amplifier's rated output of 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms remains consistent under standard testing conditions, and it has been engineered with a focus on low distortion, current delivery, and headroom—key factors in real-world performance.
The warm operating temperature you observed is typical for a Class XA design. This architecture blends the sonic benefits of Class A with improved efficiency and results in a naturally warmer chassis temperature during operation. The temperatures mentioned fall within the expected range and are in line with the unit’s thermal design parameters.
Regarding the discrepancy in weight, thank you for highlighting this. You are correct that the boxed weight is approximately 67.9 lbs (just over 30.8 kg). We are reviewing our published specifications to ensure consistency and accuracy across all documentation and product listings.
We value all customer feedback as it plays an important role in the ongoing development and refinement of our products. Should you have further queries or require technical assistance, we would encourage you to contact our support team directly.
Thank you once again for your review.
Best regards,

After long research and exploration of finding a good sound neutral stereo power amplifier to pair with my PrimaLuna EVO 400 tube preamp as well as to drive my 88 db sensitivity Dynaudio Countor 60 loud speakers. Finally after 6 years that Edge W had introduced in the worldwide market and heard so many positive feedback then decided to try it. Immediately after yesterday purchase and tested about 5 hours so I felt that I did right choice. From unboxing to setup process and audition from all my reference music, my conclusion is that this Edge W is a great amplifier within the price range. Cambridge Audio product has great reputation from build quality and services and most important is sound quality it was way over from competitor's amplifiers some even double of the price to Edge W. Great engineering and great design for such traditional British sounding machine!!!
i just received mine 3 days ago...i love this amp so far ...draws less wattage then the Azur but stays cooler and it wakes up my B and W 683s2
Dear Customer
Thank you for the purchase and your precious time through this review.

We hope it adds a whole new dimension in your music experience.Kind Regards

I cannot imagine more of a sonic upgrade at this price point. Not that I can imagine a more realistic sounding sound stage. Tonight, while listening to Odessa, I could _see_ the pianist pounding the keys. Thanks for a great night out without having to leave my couch.
Dear Customer

The Edge W is an under powered, inefficient amp. Within two minutes of being turned on it warms up to 124 degrees. The 100 watts of power is closer to 75 watts because for normal listening (55db at 10 feet) it uses 50-70% power. Once it's cranked up to that volume, the Edge W has a great sound stage with a well-rounded and smooth frequency range without any noticeable gaps. My bookshelf speakers are the 8-ohm Revel PerformaBe M126Be's. When listening to Pink Floyd's "On the Turning Away" the volume was at 70%. A Primare I25 Prisma (100watt Class D) and a Yamaha A-S200 (90watt Class AB) amp both ran at 30-40% power.
One of the biggest surprises was the weight was listed incorrectly as 51. 9lbs. The label on the box says 67. 9lbs so it might take two people life.
