About this model
The Cambridge Audio EXA100 is a fully-featured integrated stereo amplifier delivering 100W RMS per channel into 8 ohms (155W into 4 ohms) via a Class A/B circuit built around a massive shielded toroidal transformer, with trickle-down engineering from Cambridge's flagship Edge M monoblock amplifiers. Connectivity is exceptionally broad: four RCA inputs, one XLR balanced input, coaxial and optical digital inputs, an asynchronous USB Type-B port handling PCM up to 24-bit/384kHz and DSD256, HDMI eARC, and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD. At its digital heart sits an ESS Technology ES9018K2M SABRE32 DAC, while outputs include RCA pre-out, a dedicated subwoofer output, and a 6.3mm headphone socket. A power amplifier bypass mode allows the EXA100 to operate as a pure power amp, and a damping factor of greater than 160 ensures tight, authoritative control over loudspeakers.
A great opportunity to own a Cambridge EXA100 at this price point.
A strong deal: at US$1,695, this sits below the recent comparable 25th-percentile price of US$1,627? Actually, it is above that threshold but still below the US$1,750 median, making it a fair-to-good buy rather than a bargain.
The EXA100 is a capable, modern integrated with muscular 100-watt Class AB amplification, a useful built-in DAC, HDMI eARC, balanced XLR input, USB, Bluetooth, subwoofer output, and power-amp mode. It is particularly appealing for a system combining serious two-channel listening with TV use, and it should handle a wide range of speakers confidently. Since the listing gives no condition detail, confirm the remote, accessories, display, inputs, and speaker terminals are fully functional; if clean and complete, US$1,695 is a worthwhile price.
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.
