02-06-2021 11:57amHi just checking out some of the amps you have for sale in the clearance section. The Cambridge CXA61 and CXA81 and the marantz pm8006. Are there many differences between the three? I have some Fyne F501's at the moment.
Thanks1

Thanks for the post!
I actually have a CXA81 myself and it would be my first choice for sound quality! The CXA81 has balanced inputs as well as 80 watts of power per channel. The left and right channels are also powered independently so the sound quality is stunning. I have mine paired with Bowers and Wilkins 604s but they sound great paired with the F501s as well.
The PM8006 is a great amp as well and while I prefer the sound of the Cambridge the Marantz does have a built in phono stage so you wouldn't need to add one to the system if you're using a turntable.
Let me know what you think!
Kind regards

Thanks for getting back to me.
I tried the CXA81 with the F501s in a demo and was very impressed with the sound but the Marantz would be a little warmer. It would also be a better match for tone if you are going to be adding it as a power amp for your home cinema system! For what you're looking to do the Marantz might be the better option for you!
Let me know what you think!
