CX SERIES 2 

BLACK EDITION

Black is the new Black

​The beauty of working at an independent company is that if someone has an idea like “What if we made a limited run of CX Series 2 , with the same great sound, only in black?” and everyone agrees, then we can just do it. ​

​CX Black Edition is as simple as that, we thought it would look really cool – and here it is. But like all good things, there’s a catch: we’re only making 1000 pieces of each model. ​

​So, that’s a CX Black Edition of our CXA81 and CXA61 amplifiers. Plus a Black Edition CXN V2 network player and CXC CD transport. All designed in London to match each other perfectly, and to play nicely with any black hi-fi separates you may already have.

CX Series 2 Black Edition Stack

Brand New Look, Same Great Sound​

CX Series has always been about a step-up in audio performance. A stack of awards from around the world attest to this. Now, for a limited time, you can get your hands on that sound in a new all-black special design. CX Black Edition’s matt black anodized aluminium fascia is trimmed only with discreet gloss black branding. 

CX Black Edition

Designed to Stand Out, or Blend In ​

​CX Black Edition is about choice; the choice of choosing matt black over lunar grey, the choice to make a minimalist design statement with a stack of black CX components, or the choice to treat an existing black hi-fi set-up with a piece of CX sound excellence. 

Certificate of Authenticity for CX Black Edition

When They’ve Gone, They’re Gone​

Each CX Black Edition model is strictly limited to 1000 pieces worldwide – so if you want one, or even a full set, you’d better not hang around. It’s a strictly first come, first served offering. And in-keeping with special editions, each unit comes with a certificate of authenticity.

A Reward for Life​

Encased in steel, with a matt black anodized aluminium fascia, CX Black Edition will reward you with outstanding sound, that takes you to the heart of your music, for many years to come. All that we ask is that you don’t take too long deciding, as these special models won’t be around for long.
