Aux Boasts New Aux Box Speakers

Much like the Aux Level we reviewed last year, the Box is mainly about two things: simplicity and sound. Built for portability, the Box was designed for block parties or as a versatile speaker setup for your TV or home stereo. 8” subwoofers and 400 watts of raw power help deliver audio at some ridiculously deafening levels with very little distortion. We ran our test unit through the gauntlet and the Box just sang. Sound was detailed and crisp, mids were crystal clear, and the bass was beautifully robust. Our only gripe is the price which at $1500 is a bit much for a speaker that doesn’t come with the usual basics expected in a speaker even at $200, but take a listen and you’ll probably agree that these are minuscule compromises you can most definitely live with. Link: $1500

[EMBARGO IMAGE 04/12] Cambridge Audio CXA81 integrated amplifier.

Cambridge Audio's award-winning CXA81 integrated amplifier has been one of the best amps you can buy in its price range for years. Now, the British audio maker, which has never been known to rest on its laurels, has announced the launch of the amp's latest iteration, the CXA81 Mk II Stereo Amplifier. It's received an upgraded digital-to-analog converter (DAC), some new components, and a bit of retuning at the hands of  Cambridge's "engineering maestros."

The flagship of Cambridge Audio's CX series, the CXA81 is well-regarded for its punchy, dynamic, and crystal clear sound signature, driven by itd Class AB amplifier at a powerful 80 watts per channel (at 8 ohms). With the CXA81 Mk II, Cambridge Audio hasn't redesigned the wheel, but has made some key upgrades where it counts.
