Pure Power
So lets start with the obvious the CXA80 offers more power for your money and yes, its an extra 20 watts per channel over the CXA60. Another area where the power performance excels in the CXA80 is within the toroidal transformer. It has an extra 50% volt-amp capacity so can deliver more power to the speakers when you really need it. Especially when listening to those particularly gripping performances.
Music Delivery
The CXA80 is a reference amplifier based on a specific balance between power and precision. With this in mind, the musical delivery from the 80 has a more mature feel and offers up an impressive and clear sound stage for the most discerning of listeners. Especially when listening to dynamic classical music. This is all thanks to its dual mono design, which means that the left and right channels are powered separately on different PCBs. This gives your music more power at the right points. It makes it more muscular if you will.
Power, precision and poise. Building on the award winning foundation of the CXA60, the CXA80 adds an extra 20watts of power giving 80watts of pure precision which creates a strikingly vivid soundstage. The addition of balanced inputs and USB connectivity for your computer based music library offers the solution for every source.
HUGELY ENERGETIC, WITH REAL DEFINITION AND EXCITEMENT EVERYTHING IS IMBUED WITH A REAL SENSE OF QUALITY.”
Rated at 80 Watts per channel the CXA80 has power in reserve for even the most demanding speakers. But its the way in which this power is delivered that puts the CXA80 completely out of reach from its competitors. The entire internal layout is designed to minimize left and right interference (crosstalk) and provide astonishing stereo separation so you can virtually place each instrument in your room. It has symmetrical and separate transformer taps for the left and right channels, twin rectifiers and separate PSUs. When combined together these dual mono features deliver incredible presence and depth to your music and a wide, enveloping soundstage thats normally only available in amplifiers costing many times more.
Our engineers spent months to create the unique separated circuit board because they knew it would eventually provide the sound they wanted. As for power they were similarly insistent on sticking to what they knew would deliver. They used a class AB amplifier to minimise crossover distortion so music sounds purer and more controlled. An audiophile-grade oversize toroidal transformer provides huge power reserves, a consistent audio signal (no clipping) and a sensational bass performance. Finally, an ALPs film type volume pot was recruited for its accurate volume control and superb low level channel balance so the volume is always perfect across both left and right channels at whatever volume youre enjoying.
In use, the CXA80 is a delight. The floating effect of the chassis, the brushed finish, the easy-to-read front panel, theyre all designed to create a hi-fi amplifier thats as beautiful on the outside as its well-engineered on the inside. Whatever the source, the CXA80 enables you to re-discover your favourite music.
To enjoy more of the music you love, the CXA80 has been designed from the ground up with digital sources in mind. Using a high-specification 24-bit/192kHz WM8740 DAC chip from Wolfson (a very premium digital to analogue converter), the CXA80 offers a powerful upgrade for all your digital sources and simply connecting it to the digital out of the dedicated CXC CD transport also creates a perfect partnership. The result is that any digital music soars to new heights, reveals new depths and can be enjoyed like never before.
Designed to work with as wide a range of separates as possible, we engineered the CXA80 with both digital and traditional analogue inputs. Digital support is in the form of S/PDIF co-axial and TOSLINK digital inputs, plus an asynchronous USB Audio input – so you can play your music directly from your PC or Mac.
Add an optional BT100 Bluetooth dongle and youve access to aptX high-quality streaming, opening up a world of possibilities from your paired device. Analogue options include a high quality balanced XLR input, four sets of RCA inputs and a front 3.5mm Aux jack.
