CXA61
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I bought this amp along with a CXN v2 and have subsequently added the CXC CD transport which I've now complemented with a pair of Kef LS50s and Chord clear way speaker cable.
The amp itself is beautifully made and looks fantastic in Lunar grey. It feels like a premium product and in addition it was very easy to set up, even for a relative novice like me.
Now as for the sound (oh that wonderful sound) - I'm no audiofile but from a personal perspective this is without doubt the best sounding system I've heard; worth the cost for the grin factor alone - the clarity, stereo separation without ever missing a beat is something to behold - the music is no longer coming form the speaker(s) it's all around you, it's pure unadulterated musical joy. Minutes suddenly become hours listening, old music becomes new again; it's like I've been listening to music from outside the room and all of a sudden I'm now in that room - mind blowing.
Having tried numerous other options and configurations in the past, including a Naim Muso 2..Literally nothing has compared to this set-up. The CXA61 is an absolutely fantastic investment and trust me - you will not be disappointed!
Testowany z 3 urządzeniami z tej samej klasy cenowej znanymi z nazwy każdemu. Dosyć analitycznie podszedłem do tematu: ten sam zestaw utworów, 40 minut i odsłuchów i ten był na końcu. Niewiarygodna jest przepaść jakości, dynamiki, rozdzielczości pomiędzy nim, a konkurencją.

Comprato da pochi giorni, accoppiato ad un paio di Neat Motive SX2 .... non riesco proprio a staccarmi. Suono pulito, arioso, dettagliato, potente e controllato a tratti imperioso. Il bluetooth funziona a meraviglia. Abbinato al prepre Cambridge e al Pro-ject Carbon è favoloso. Assolutamente soddisfatto.
