Cambridge Audio Azur 851E Preamplifier & 851W Stereo Power Amplifier Review

 

Review: Cambridge Audio's Azur 851E Preamp and 851W Stereo Power Amplifier aren't inexpensive, but unlike flagship level products from other marques, they're actually affordable. Audiophile Separates.

A lot of good quality power

 

I bought two of these and am using them in bridged mono mode. Out of the box build quality is amazing for the money. I found set up easy with good instructions given. From first turning the system on the sound was transformed compared to being driven...

I purchased this a few days ago and from first switch on it really helped to deliver more power to my B&W 704's and has made them sound a lot more musical. Before I was running them off an Arcam AVR which is fairly powerful with class AB amplification...

Azur 851 Power Amp.

Hugely Impressed

 

I bought three of these amps to make up a surround sound system in my music room. Two drive the rears and one drives the center all in bridged mono mode. The rears are connected to a pair of Kef R11's and I'm using the balanced output of a Stream Magic...

As a stereo amp this a good, as monoblocks this is

 

I have added a second and run them in bridged mono mode. The sound is transformed. It was good now it is breath taking. Control, finesse, everything.They do run hot and they do use electricity, but you cannot get something for nothing.
