Cambridge Audio Azur 840E Pre-Amp

Posted: June 21, 2008 - 11:30pm

Just curious whether anyone here has this pre (&/or the matching 840W power amp). I can't find out much about these models online--everything I've found so far is basically the same thing--a quote of the manufacturer's blurb. I own a 540R v2 receiver, & want to change to separates (w/in a budget) over the next 6 months or so. I do really like Cambridge products.

If you have exposure to the 840E pre especially, does it have a subwoofer out? I've seen one small pic of the back panel, and I THINK it does have a sub out... I'd just like some general impressions if possible as well...

These are pretty new. My Cambridge Audio dealer has not seen them yet, but says they are on the way.

The preamp does have a sub preout.

Thanks for confirmation this unit has a sub out... My local dealer probably won't be getting any of these in--this shop is more geared towards HT installs, it seems, and carry little stock. Plus they don't seem interested in talking to anyone not spending $20K+. Looks like I'd have to buy this pre & amp online if I decide to go this route.
