“With its 851E preamplifier and 851W, Cambridge Audio has built a pre/power combination that offers not only ‘holy grail’ audio performance, but also an almost complete suite of features and facilities. If you’re in the market for separates (and you should be if you want seriously good audio!), this 851 duo should be high on your short list… if not at the very top of it. Highly recommended.”

“Simply, this is one of the most transparent, thrilling and richly rewarding amplifier combinations I have encountered, with fine grip on the speakers with which it’s used, vast amounts of information delivered and never even the slightest sense of the music being held back or sold short.”

I normally struggle to summarize reviews – however, in the case of the 851E/W, it’s simple. Buy it, and thank me later. Chances are you’re already raising a phone to your ear and calling your local dealer for a demo – if that’s the case, this review has served its purpose. If not, I suggest you do so now… if anything, you owe it to your music collection.
