Good Points: Crispy - high quality sound. Elegant design, ability to upgrade the o/p power by the use of 6ohm speakers to 95WRms p/channel.
Bad Points: No remote, but who cares.
General comments: Excellent value and quality from Cambridge Audio for people who value performance and money spent!

Overall the Cambridge Audio A5 is a fairly good deal new if you are in the market for a modestly featured amp at a good price, but if you can pick one up second hand I really recommend it, I couldn't resist (seeing as it was second hand and there was no warranty to worry about) taking a peek inside, everything in there looked fairly well put together with a decent sized toroidal transformer and a fairly good sized heat sink. Higher quality overall than I expected.
Bottom line, use it with some ...

Let me tell you one story:
I bought one Cambridge Audio A5 Integrated Amplifier in 2000. Then in 2001 I faced a little problem - I had output of 220v on speakers (now I don't have them, heh).
I took them to Richer Sounds to be repaired, one week later they gave me a new amp...
So be careful, do not shake it too much!
(A new one has been working for 2 years without switching off - perfectly!)

I am really impressed with my Cambridge Audio A5 Integrated Amplifier. When my father bought a sony amplifier I remember thinking how wonderful it was and how many things it could do to improve your listening experience. Then I bought my Cambridge Audio A5 Amplifier and I was amazed to find that this simple looking amplifier could produce such a brilliant sound. I am currently using it with a Cambridge Audio CD5 and some Gale Silver Monitors which I think is a good setup considering i got it all ...
