Cambridge - Azur 540 V3 Silver Solid state stereo receiver

Cambridge Audio is generally seen as a serious British hi‑fi brand with a strong “audiophile but affordable” image, rather than as extreme ultra‑luxury gear.

French press (Son-Video, DVD Critiques, Audiofanzine) praised its musical power, rare HDMI connectivity for the era, and attractive pricing

TechRadar (2007): “Packs quite a punch… 5.1/6.1 soundtracks have plenty of energy and drive.”

CNET (2008): Ideal entry-level receiver excellent usability and performance for an affordable price.

What Hi-Fi? (2004): “Brawny, substantial movie sound… capable of lighting a fire under any film or music"
