This is firmly a buyer’s market: £42 is a bargain against the comparable-listing median of £90, and it sits well below the £75 25th percentile. Even allowing for unknown condition, that is unusually attractive money for a working example.
The Azur 540A remains a capable, musical analogue integrated with a substantial power supply, plenty of line inputs, headphone output and useful speaker drive; the V2 is the more desirable version, rated at 60 watts per channel rather than 50. It is a particularly good fit for a straightforward passive-speaker system without streaming or digital inputs. At this price, simply confirm both channels work cleanly at low volume, check the controls and speaker relay for dropouts, and establish whether the remote is included. If operational, this is an easy recommendation.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Cambridge Audio emerged from the innovative spirit of 1960s Britain, founded in Cambridge, United Kingdom, by a group of young engineers who spun off from Cambridge Consulting Group. Established in 1968, the brand launched with the groundbreaking P40 integrated amplifier—the first to employ a toroidal transformer, setting a new standard for dynamic power delivery in hi-fi design that endures in high-end gear today. This heritage of British engineering excellence propelled decades of award-winning products, navigating ownership changes including a revival under entrepreneur Vince Adams and acquisition in 1994 by Julian Richer and James Johnson-Flint of Richer Sounds.
The brand excels across core hi-fi categories, renowned for integrated amplifiers like the iconic A1 and P-series, alongside streaming DACs, network players, turntables, and all-in-one systems that prioritize pure analogue warmth and digital precision. Speakers, headphones, and cables round out a cohesive ecosystem, emphasizing accessible high performance without excess frills.
Positioned firmly in the mid-tier market, Cambridge Audio delivers premium British sound—detailed, rhythmic, and uncolored—at prices that democratize quality for discerning buyers. Free from corporate bloat, it holds a reputation for reliability and value, appealing to enthusiasts seeking sophisticated hi-fi that punches above its weight rather than chasing ultra-high-end esoterica.
