EVO ONE
All-in-One Wireless Streaming Speaker
£1,299.00
With 100 watts of power and DAB+ / FM tuner too, AXR100D is an amp to be taken seriously – thanks to an integrated phono stage for easy connection of a turntable, and Bluetooth to play music wirelessly from a smartphone. A dedicated subwoofer output for driving bass, and two sets of speaker outputs add to R100D’s appeal, while plenty of sockets front and rear build on that versatility.
AXR100D is a powerful receiver (amp and radio) aimed at listening to music, and appreciating how it’s been recorded, from a variety of sources – including its integrated digital tuner. Hi-fi separates like AXR100D are designed to take a signal, amplify it, and output it to your speakers. Choose speakers to suit your own taste – this powerful unit certainly gives you options.
With all the talk of streaming, it’s sometimes easy to forget the simple pleasure of radio. Turn it on, and it just works. With AXR100D you can programme up to 40 favourite stations and quickly retrieve them, without having to re-scan. DAB+ station and track information are shown on the white LED dot matrix display.
The built-in phono stage is the ace up AXR100D’s sleeve. It means that you can plug a turntable straight in without any extra kit. Moving magnet (MM) compatibility means AXR100D works with a wide range of turntables – including that vintage one you’ve had your eye on. Soon you’ll be playing the records you’ve been saving for, and planning what to buy next.
Thanks to integrated Bluetooth, it’s simple to play music from your phone, laptop, or other compatible device on AXR100D. It’s a great way for friends to share music with you, helping you discover new favourite albums – before you splash out on a vinyl copy.
AXR100D is a very well-connected receiver, with 3 pairs of analogue RCA inputs, moving magnet phono section for a turntable and a pair of recording outputs. There’s a single digital coax in, as well as 2 optical connectors. Hi-fi quality speaker binding posts (connectors), for 2 sets of speakers, mean that thick cable connects securely for an authentic sound.
As with the rest of the AX Series, AXR100D shares our house-style of Lunar Grey minimalist fascia, black steel cabinet and ‘floating’ base. This timeless look allows for an upgrade path through our range. A relatively slim build, in the classic 430mm hi-fi width, also means that AXR100D can add new functionality, and easily slot, into a much-loved system.

This unit has replaced the Marantz 6007 amp which I found to be coldly analytical but without any musicality. My AXR100D was a revelation gives far more insight into the seperation of the instruments and reproduces the thrilling sound of string reverbaratiion and texture and wonderful clarity of woodwind. The AXR100D drives my Kef 550 floor standers to much more agreeable levels, about -50 to -40 db providing a realistic presentation of my chamber music cd's from my Marantz 5005 machine. The staging and separation of the instruments is very good and all of the timbres of each instrument is beautifully revealled.
I needed to replace my Azur 640T which I have had for many years but had stopped working. I would have liked to get just a tuner but they are not available any more so went for the receiver which also replaced my Azur 640A (Amp). It was easy to setup and connected a CD unit and turntable and all work well. The DAB reception good and it provides a nice rich sound.

I got AXR100D as my first integrated amp, really happy with it. Reasonable price and drive my KEF speakers well. Filled the room with good soundstage. I read a lots of comment about the fan noise but I never notice mine during listening session.
Wonderful unit would recommend this

I bought the AXR100D in December 2022, 14 days after I purchased an AXC35 CD player at the same retailer.
The performance of the AXR100D is superb as well as it possibilities.However what was very disappointing was that after unpacking the AXR it seemed that the shade of the grey of the Receiver is different than the CD-player. It looks very cheap, and Cambridge unworthy. I contacted Cambridge and their response as disappointing. It was matter of tolerances. And I had to accept this. To my opinion this is unacceptable.
Another minus is that there is no manual in Dutch.
