Overview

The Power of Three
The beating heart of EX, our EXA100 integrated amplifier took three years to develop; more than a thousand dedicated days of tuning at our London HQ has created a massive step up in power and performance from the CX Series amps.
An amplifier for the modern age, lovingly Made By Music.

Different Class
Boosted by trickledown technology from our flagship Edge M monobloc power amplifier, EXA100 uses its 100W of beautifully refined Class AB amplification to drive even high-end speakers with ease.
Effortless power with bags of control.

Sounding Great Since 1968
Back in the Summer of Love, our P40 amplifier was the very first to feature a toroidal transformer – and transformed audio forever.
EXA100’s advanced toroidal transformer is amply shielded, super-quiet and flanked by heavy-duty heat sinks for impeccable performance that’s more than worthy of extending the P40 legacy.

Shout Out to My EX
The EXA100 lets you listen how and wherever you want, in sublime quality. Balanced XLR inputs offer a premium analogue connection, while two sets of speaker outputs can power music in two different rooms.
Bass-heads can even add a subwoofer to the dedicated pre-out. With EX, you get a world of listening possibilities.

Digital Love
From its exceptional hi-res DAC to the HDMI eARC input and Bluetooth aptX HD, EXA100 is a digital audio powerhouse. Whatever music service or source device you choose, EXA100 will breathe new life into your digital sounds.

A Strong Look
Our innovation doesn’t stop on the inside: the EXA100 has a stunning new design, complete with a milled aluminium front panel and a tactile knurled volume knob you can’t keep your hands off.
This jaw-dropping amp looks as powerful as it sounds.

Power to the People
Switch it to Power Amp Mode and the EXA100 pairs brilliantly with any pre-amp, giving flexibility you never knew you needed – whether in a stereo or multi-channel system.

And The Beat Goes On
To ensure a longer, happier listening life for our amps and the speakers they power, we developed an exceptional proprietary protection system, CAP.
It uses an array of different methods to detect potential issues, such as power and temperature overloads, and take preventive action. So you can just relax and enjoy the music, worry-free.

Everything and Then Some
From its precision build to the technology inside, the EXA100 is gloriously over-engineered. Whether it’s a four-layer PCB or a reservoir capacitor, every component is specially selected and expertly implemented. We sweat the small stuff; it matters.

Raising the Standard
With a legacy of accolades, including What Hi-Fi? Best Buy awards, the original CXA81 integrated amplifier set a high bar. So, how do you make an award-winning amplifier even better? We caught up with our Head of Engineering, Nick Brown, to uncover the thinking and processes that went into the development of CXA81 Mk II.

CXA81 has evolved, developed, and improved as a product for many years through various models, even as far back as 650A to 651A, with an extensive redesign for CXA80. CXA81 has become a multi-award winning product, winning the What Hi-Fi? Best Buy award for four consecutive years.

At every stage in the CXA81 Mk II design process, we were aware that the CXA81 sound had been extremely well received, so we didn't want to move too far away from this signature sound, which we believe to be fun, dynamic, engaging, and exciting. Our main goal was to add an extra level of definition to the current signature sound rather than a major deviation.
