When it comes to power amplifiers, the Cambridge Audio Edge W stands out as a masterpiece. Crafted with precision and an unwavering commitment to sonic perfection, this power amplifier represents the pinnacle of British audio engineering.
Hand-Picked Components – The Pursuit of Perfection
Every component in the Edge W has been meticulously chosen after hours of critical listening tests to ensure that only the finest audio quality is delivered. The result is one of the cleanest signal paths available in the industry, capturing the unadulterated British sound that audiophiles crave.
Twin Toroidal Transformers – A Powerhouse of Sound
The Edge W boasts twin toroidal transformers, providing an immense reserve of power for consistent tonality. This design ensures that your music is delivered with precision and impact, making it ideal for those who like to turn up the volume and experience the full dynamics of their music.
Cambridge Audio Proprietary Class XA Amplification – Sonic Purity
Class XA Amplification, a Cambridge Audio innovation, eradicates audible crossover distortion. The result is a sonic purity that faithfully reproduces your music without any artificial alterations. You hear your music as the artist intended.
Effortless Power Without Distortion
Efficiency meets power in the Edge W. Instead of relying solely on Class A amplifier technology, Cambridge Audio introduced a bias voltage to a traditional Class AB design, reducing distortion to inaudible levels. This unique configuration not only produces less heat but also enhances the overall system’s effectiveness.
Perfect Partners
Cambridge Audio’s Edge systems are designed to work in perfect synchrony. Pair the Edge W with the Edge NQ preamplifier network player to create a hi-fi system that not only sounds exceptional but also boasts a unique and distinctive design.
