EVO ONE
All-in-One Wireless Streaming Speaker
$1,499.00
With 100 watts of power and FM/AM tuner too, AXR100 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. Dedicated subwoofer output for driving bass, and two sets of speaker outputs add to R100’s appeal. While plenty of sockets front and rear build on that versatility.
AXR100 is a powerful receiver aimed at listening to music, and appreciating how it’s been recorded, from a variety of sources – including its own integrated tuner. Hi-fi separates like AXR100 are designed to take a signal, amplify it and output 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 AXR100 you can programme up to 40 favourite stations and retrieve them, without having to re-scan. Station information, thanks to RDS, is shown on the white LED dot matrix display.
A built-in phono stage is one of many aces up AXR100’s sleeve. You can plug a turntable straight into the rear sockets without any extra kit. Moving magnet compatibility means it works with a wide range of turntables – including that vintage one you’ve always wanted to dust off. Soon you’ll be playing the records you already own and planning the next purchases.
Thanks to integrated Bluetooth 5.0, it’s simple to play music from your phone, laptop, or other compatible device on AXR100. It’s a great way for friends to share music with you, helping you to discover new favourite albums – before you splash out on a vinyl copy.
AXR100 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, AXR100 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 AXR100 can easily slot into a much-loved system.

I recently bought an AXR100 and additionally in the Cambridge Audio store on eBay CD player AXC35 open box because here all CD players of the A series are out of stock.
PROS: The look is fantastic, simple, and elegant. The functionality and ease of use of all functions are absolutely great. The remote control looks quite good and works flawlessly and you can operate both devices with one. The sound quality is excellent, although I expected it a little better. But that's my feeling and maybe a matter of speakers - I use KEF Q150.
CONS: I'm a fan of FM, I don't want DAB and that was the reason I chose the ARX100. The radio picks up only a few of the strongest stations (8 stations) and the RDS did not work properly. Display changing symbols and BBC3 shows as CCB*?, B*, CCC**, CCCR, etc. The display keeps blinking with changing symbols which is very annoying. Some stations are not displayed at all. Placed in the same place, my old Pioneer X-HM70 receives all stations flawlessly (19 stations) and RDS works perfectly. I have a large CD collection but sometimes I want to listen to something different and I use Tidal. So I tried to play via Bluetooth. It works very well and connects very easily but the quality is not the best. Music from Tidal via an android tablet is of very poor quality and plays very quietly. From a Linux laptop, it's much better, but sometimes it crashes. Maybe because of an internet connection. I could download music and transfer but there is no USB port. It's a pity. My old Pioneer has a USB and even reads flack files. The biggest downside turned out to be the CD player, the quality is so poor that I have to return it and therefore I want to return the AXR100 as well.
This is a great amp at this price point. I was looking at Yamaha stereo receivers with these specs and price range and i'm so glad i stuck with Cambridge Audio. This amp just sounds great. This is paired with Cambridge Audio Areo 6's. With my previous (entry-level) Yamaha home theater receiver these sounded more muffled, less midrange, and bass wasn't as strong. This amp fixed everything right up and has a very clean flat sound. You can adjust bass and treble to taste.

This is surprisingly good receiver with excellent amplifier. I'm using it every day for listening music and I've connected it with Sony 4k BlueRay player for movies which seems like perfect combination. I've connected mh hand made self-starting loudspeakers with silver speaker cables. The sound is warm with a lot of details and great stage. High and mid range is perfectly detailed and bass is very well defined and deep. The caracter of this amp is mire like tube amp, The instruments are really giod defined and vocals are nice.
