Great value overall. Crystal clear highs, dynamic lows, muted midrange.
3 of 4 found this helpful I was disappointed with the sound out of the box, it was dull and muted, but after playing it for a half hour or so, it started to warm up and sound more dynamic. I’ve always read that some electronics need time to “burn in” and I’ve experienced that now with two pieces of equipment, both from Cambridge. After a break in period it’s continued to sound better and better. I’m replacing a 45 watt Rotel integrated amplifier with this receiver. The Rotel has more natural sounding and dynamic midrange with vocals that are more realistic and clear, but 100 watts per channel from the Cambridge definitely has it’s advantages. When you play this receiver moderately loud, the sound really opens up. The high notes are crystal clear and the speakers react quickly to the lower frequency music. The muted vocals at lower power levels improve significantly when you turn up the juice. All things considered, I’m pleased with the purchase. My only disappointment is the midrange vocals sound like you’re listening through a veil, especially at lower volumes. Interestingly, the vocals are a bit less muted on vinyl than CD’s (I have it mated with a Music Hall turntable and a Cambridge CD player, which also has an understated midrange, and they may not be the best match for each other in that respect.) Cosmetically, there is a small, barely noticeable scratch on the volume knob. Otherwise, I would have had no clue the item was a refurbished unit. Of note, the rear speaker posts are pretty cheap on my unit. I’ve seen at least 3 different type posts in various pictures on the internet. Unfortunately, I got the one kind that doesn’t allow the use of banana plugs. Overall, I’m pleased with the purchase, it was a screaming bargain for $350 refurbished.
