Cambridge Audio Expands MX Series With Punchy New MXW70 Power Amplifier

Cambridge Audio is doubling down on compact hi-fi with the launch of the MXW70, a sleek new 70-watt stereo power amplifier designed to perfectly match its award-winning MXN10 music streamer. Compact in size but loaded with premium features, the MXW70 marks a smart new step in the British brand’s mission to bring high-performance audio to smaller spaces.

🆕 New Addition to a Winning Formula

Stackable and styled to match the five-star MXN10, the MXW70 features the same half-width chassis, minimalist Lunar Grey design, and robust metal construction. While it may look modest, it delivers 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms, using Hypex NCore Class-D amplification—a technology found in Cambridge’s more powerful Evo amps.

🎧 Small Footprint, Big Flexibility

For users wanting more headroom, the MXW70 can run in bridgeable mono mode, boosting output to a formidable 250 watts—just pair two units for serious stereo muscle.

Input options include both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA, with physical switches on the rear panel to toggle between stereo and mono operation.

🔊 Ideal Companion to the MXN10 Streamer

The MXW70 is clearly designed with the MXN10 in mind. In preamplifier mode, the streamer can take full control over volume and source selection, making the two units a sleek, fully integrated digital hi-fi solution—all controllable via Cambridge Audio’s StreamMagic app.

💷 Pricing & Availability

Set to arrive this summer, the MXW70 will retail at £499 / $599 / €599. Combined with the MXN10 (£349 / $499 / €399), you’re looking at a complete hi-fi setup for under £850 / $1100 / €1000—a highly attractive entry point for newcomers and seasoned audiophiles alike.

📝 Bottom Line

The MXW70 isn’t just another compact amp—it’s a sign of where modern hi-fi is heading: smaller, smarter, and more accessible without skimping on performance.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or downsizing your setup, Cambridge Audio’s new stackable duo makes a compelling case for high-quality sound in small spaces.
