Lost in Your Music

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.


Return on Investment

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.


Effortlessly Musical

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.



Power with Control

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.
