From Cambridge Garages to Concert Halls Worldwide

For over 55 years, Cambridge Audio has epitomized British engineering excellence that delivers reference-grade performance without requiring mortgage-level investment. Founded in 1968 when Cambridge University engineering graduates launched the revolutionary P40 amplifier from a cramped garage, the company earned legendary status for combining innovative circuit design with exceptional value. That founding principle—uncompromising sound quality accessible to real music lovers—remains Cambridge's north star today.

The Evo series represents Cambridge's boldest statement yet: cutting-edge streaming convenience and audiophile-grade amplification coexisting in a single, elegantly integrated component that rivals traditional separates costing thousands more.

The All-in-One That Changed Everything

The Evo 150 has rapidly become one of the most acclaimed streaming amplifiers in high-end audio, earning five-star reviews from What Hi-Fi? and Stereophile. This isn't another compromise-laden "lifestyle" product—it's a no-holds-barred assault on the traditional component stack, proving that world-class streaming, DAC performance, and amplification can inhabit one beautifully crafted chassis without sacrificing sonic excellence.

Cambridge designed the Evo 150 for discerning audiophiles who refuse to choose between cutting-edge convenience and uncompromising sound quality. It excels equally as the centerpiece of reference two-channel systems, the brain of sophisticated multi-room installations, or the heart of vinyl-plus-streaming setups where analog heritage meets digital future.

How This British Masterpiece Makes Music Come Alive

The Evo 150's sonic signature impresses immediately with remarkable transparency and expansive soundstaging. Instruments occupy distinct three-dimensional positions, vocals emerge with startling presence and texture, and the entire presentation breathes with natural air and space. Bass response delivers exceptional control with genuine texture—you hear the resonance of acoustic bass strings, the attack of kick drums, the weight of orchestral tympani without bloat or overhang.

The midrange exhibits Cambridge's signature naturalness—instruments and voices sound organically right without artificial warmth or clinical sterility. Extended treble sparkles with detail and air without the fatiguing brightness common to Class D designs. Dynamic capabilities surprise even experienced listeners—the Evo 150 delivers both whisper-quiet detail and explosive dynamic impact with effortless authority.
