Whether you need a stereo amp that mounts on a wall or under a table, or a multichannel rack mount amp with multiple output types and power levels, the AMP-X300 is simple to specify and install in any configuration.

I can either put it dead centre, below the front centre speakers, or in towards the corner, beyond and behind a G300.The Crestron® AMP-X300 is a high performance, space saving, energy efficient, professional grade amplifier solution that is totally configurable, yet simple to use. On another separate issue is how critical is sub placement? Horse before cart I was wanting to put concrete where the sub was going (as well as for the G300s), separated from the rest of the timber floor. I understand USB is generally only recommended to 5 metres, however some cables say they are good for longer lengths.

On a separate issue I will be mostly running files off my Mac to the amp DAC via USB, however I will need an 8 metre length.

Has anyone heard the Edge? Or a general view on long term ownership of the Cambridge brand?

300 mamp to amp upgrade#

I still haven't discounted the Cambridge Edge A as it is the obvious upgrade to what I currently listen to and has been very well reviewed (for what that's worth), though I take on board the view it may be too bright. I will look into them and will wait until the room is built and the AV up and running to see if I can get home demos on any of these. I am guessing anywhere between £1,000 and £5,000, which obviously is a huge variation but I don’t know how big a difference this represents in SQ with the Gold 300s The Gold 300s will be going into a largish fully carpeted room with no glass or similarly harsh surfaces (I am converting the garage).īudget I am struggling with as, cart before horse, I was wondering what budget of amp would go with the Gold 300s. I also have my old Pioneer A400 to Castle Chester (I have a soft spot for the Chesters but always regretted not getting the Mission 753s that were all the rage at the time) I would then have the Gold 300s on the new stereo, shared with the AV with the Silver 2s CM1s and the (still boxed) MA Gold centre and sub My plan is to replace the Silver 2s with the Gold 50s on the Cyrus which I think would be a good match and put the Silver 8s back on the CXA80. Shoved them up in the loft and replaced with MA Gold 50s which are identical dimensions but again totally transformed the sound in every way for the better, not least more enjoyable. The CM1s went on the end of my Audiolab M-ONE on my office desk and again the sound was clean and detailed but dead. I swapped the CM1s for MA Silver 2s (which are larger) and all of a sudden the music came alive, perhaps a bit OTT, but the difference was massive in every respect. It sounded detailed and clean but dull and uninvolving.

I also have a 12 year old Cyrus 6 amp that for ten years was partnered with B&W CM1s. Can be a bit fatiguing over long periods at high volumes but the pay off is fun, enjoyable and musical for nearly all of the time. Yes it’s a forward sound but it’s a fun, musical sound that works well (to my inexperienced ears) across all types of music. I currently have the aforementioned Cambridge CXA-80 / MA Silver 8 which I like very much but if I were being picky wonder if the MAs could benefit from slightly better amplification. I already have a Yamaha 3070 AV receiver that I picked up very cheap (still in it’s unopened box in the attic) and want a dedicated stereo amp that will outperform it for music. Over 80% will be stereo music, less than 20% AV Surround. No HT bypass isn’t a deal breaker as I could resort to speaker cable switches.
