I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique and authorized Cambridge Audio dealer, and this Edge W Power Amplifier is a dealer demo from our showroom. It is in excellent condition and perfect working order. More pictures are available on request.
It comes with its stock power cable, and original accessories. The item ships in its original box and packaging.
The Cambridge EDGE W is a stellar performer at its price. Originally released at $6K MSRP, the EDGE W is a cost-no-object manifestation for its 50th anniversary. It’s Class A-like topology is extremely dynamic and fast, while lending itself to be slightly warm in nature.
Ask to see my stellar feedback on popular marketplaces and buy with confidence. I can offer attractive shipping and insurance rates, but the cost is on the buyer. I prefer fee-free payments, which include ACH bank payments, PayPal F&F, Venmo Gift, cashier’s check, and personal check (has to clear prior to shipping), but I can accept credit card payments through my QuickBooks invoicing system.
Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.
More about the unit:
The Cambridge Audio Edge W represents the culmination of over three years of development by a team of nine engineers commissioned to create the company’s ultimate power amplifier for their 50th anniversary, named after Professor Gordon Edge who designed their groundbreaking P40 integrated amplifier in 1968. Featuring proprietary Class XA amplification that adds bias voltage to traditional Class AB design to eliminate audible crossover distortion while improving efficiency and reducing heat, the Edge W delivers 100 watts RMS into 8 ohms and 200 watts into 4 ohms with extraordinarily low THD (<0.002% at 1kHz) through a radically minimalist signal path containing just 14 hand-picked components chosen solely through blind listening tests for sonic merit. The fully balanced dual-mono architecture employs opposing symmetry twin toroidal transformers that cancel electromagnetic interference while maintaining consistent tonality regardless of volume, with no capacitors in the signal path, frequency response extending below 3Hz to over 80kHz ±1dB, and signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 93dB. Housed in a precision-machined aluminum chassis with dual-layer side panels, integrated heat sinks, and passive cooling requiring no internal fans, the 23.6kg Edge W offers balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs with premium 5-way binding post outputs.
Reviewers describe the Edge W as remarkably detailed with finely balanced sound and musical depth that creates an impressively detailed three-dimensional soundscape with striking staging and focus, while audioXpress praised the gorgeously constructed unit whose measurements show tremendous attention to engineering with very smart design decisions. Richer Sounds emphasizes the ultimate precision achieved through twin toroidal transformers delivering lower distortion and an “inky black” background revealing every subtle detail, while Crutchfield notes the Edge W is made to be played loud with dynamic and punchy sound yet remaining powerfully subtle with clean, robust music benefiting from the undeniable heft of 100 watts per channel of Class XA power. Designed to work in perfect synchronization with the Edge NQ preamplifier network player as part of Cambridge Audio’s signature British sound philosophy embodying 50 years of hi-fi expertise, the Edge W delivers breath-taking unadulterated performance with nothing added and nothing taken away—effortless power without sacrifice of finesse, offering astonishing clarity and balance at any volume while driving even the most demanding speakers with authority in a timeless minimalist design that looks every bit as exquisite as it sounds.
