At £2,770, this sits just above the £2,731 median and well inside the recent £2,611–£2,855 interquartile range, so it reads as fairly priced rather than a standout bargain.
That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean and working as it should. The CPM 2650 is a well-regarded integrated with plenty of drive and a polished, muscular presentation that suits revealing speakers, and at this level the appeal is getting into Chord’s sound and build without paying top-of-market money. If it’s been well cared for, with the remote and original packaging included, that adds real buyer value; I’d only press harder on service history if it’s seen heavy use or has any signs of intermittent control or input issues.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
