I know you know, but... We're so lucky to be in the audio world we're in at 2024, vs 1980s... Cheap is the word. Even the expensive stuff is stupid cheap by comparison. When is the last time you saw somebody seriously discuss signal to noise, or "wow and flutter" in audio...? The fact that we spend money to put analog noise in ON PURPOSE tells us a lot. Nuff said. You da man!

Randy, Considering how much you do to help everyone I have to say that you are the Very Generous Audio Man. Thank you!
It's far beyond time for me to return the favors to folks that have helped me with so much throughout my pitiful life.
Hats off to ya CAM!

Between this, Ruark and Naim I'm loving the current trend of nice looking audiophile gear

I totally dig this. I have $50K invested in my 2 channel system and my wife won’t go near it. In all fairness she loves music but really doesn’t care if it’s through my stereo system or her Beats Pill speaker. This would bridge the gap in our living room under the TV as a not so complicated AV setup since my 2 channel stereo resides in my den. This would be enough for her and me when just casually listening and I’d enjoy it as a soundbar for my TV.

Good job from Cambridge. I see this as an ideal system for your study or bedroom, an ideal "second system" where you want an all-in-one solution.

Cambridge keeps hitting it out of the park!!!

[BobbyTwoTimes]

Crazy cool! Cambridge is on fire. Thanks, Randy!!

[TheGlitterBandPanoply]

I appreciate your going off the beaten path. Definitely sounds like a good solution for those who want a no fuss, quality all in one thing for general entertainment. Music first for the masses.

[oohmeconkers]

Lovely ‘lifestyle’ system.. affordable and judging by your review it sounds great and will realistically provide a very satisfying experience for many years to come!
Love the channel and keep them coming 🎉

I've grown to be a Cambridge Audio fan from my 1st integrated, the 540a. My Cambridge kits bring out the best in all speakers/gear I own, all without a 2nd mortgage! This product confirms yet another great piece with a reasonable price tag. Thanks for the intro and discovery CAM! Kudos.. quality vid 👍

Thank you Mr. Cheapaudioman. You said exactly the right words: excellent for entertaining and in the second home, cabin in the woods. That is the place and use I am going to buy this thing! And best part. My wife was sitting on the couch and heard the same thing. I now have permission and I don't have to apologize afterwards :)

[thomasdix]

Perfect for my wife; she can stream all the stuff she loves with simplicity. Great 20 year anniversary I hope she loves it.

This is cool! I have two systems, one in the living room, one in my office. When I get my mancave back, one system will go downstairs, and my smaller Rotel receiver will become a pre-amp in that much larger space.

This Cambridge bad boy could go into the office to fill in for the departed stereo and do it without breaking the bank.

[ericadcock]

Literally the only review I’ve seen of this product that talks about the sound quality, almost as if Cambridge gave people instructions not to speak on it. I ordered this product at launch and they are 45 days late and counting in shipping it out to USA. If it wasn’t for this review, I’d cancel my order but I have high hopes that this will be an adequate solution for my small 1300 square-foot apartment. Especially since I hate having wires anywhere thank you for such a good review.

[scotpa]

Thank you Cambridge Audio for adding to the streaming product line. Great video, thanks for the content.

Sometimes for live music, especially electeonic shows, we'll have a large speaker arrays in and around the stage for visual effect but only the subwoofers and flown line arrays are active and the rest are dummys, but you can't tell from within the crowd because it sounds great.

[LorDarkGoose]

Totally with you on the preamp out. Loved my Marantz 7000n, but no preamp out meant it had to go.

[asrarul]

The best (critical) review just after the launch. Thanks. Love from Bangladesh.

[dropthehammer]

This is a boombox on steroids. And that’s not a bad thing.

Love how you peel back the curtain of time✌🏻🎸🎶🍄
