The Edge M is a mono power amplifier by Cambridge Audio that delivers 200 watts x 1. It was released in December 2020. It is a 1-channel design using a Class XA output stage. Speakers connect via binding posts. A minimum impedance of 4 ohms makes it compatible with a wide range of loudspeakers.
There are 2 Cambridge Audio amplifiers in our database. Below you can see the main specs of these amps.
Cambridge Audio Power Amplifier Series
Performance Specs
One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements. The Cambridge Audio Edge M is rated at 200 watts RMS into 8-ohms. Cambridge Audio provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of 0.02% which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).
Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:
- 200 watts into 8-ohms (20 Hz-20 kHz) at 0.02%
- 4-ohms Min Impedance (allows compatibility with a wide range of loudspeakers)

Which speakers suit the Cambridge Audio Edge M?
200 W into 8 ohms, rated down to 4 ohms.
We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current
delivery.
Need more power?
Cambridge Audio Edge M is rated at 200 watts into 8 ohms, which puts it in our Over 180 watts band. That is the top band we cover, so there is no step up from here - if it is not enough, the answer is more sensitive speakers or a smaller room, not more watts.
When pairing the Cambridge Audio Edge M with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels.
Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.

Cambridge Audio Edge M Pros and Cons
Drawn from the published figures on this page, not from listening.
- ✓200 watts per channel into 8 ohms is more than most rooms and most speakers will ever ask for.
- ✓A monoblock - one per speaker, so the two channels share no power supply and no chassis.
- ✓Detachable mains lead (IEC 3-prong).
- ✗Being a monoblock, you need two of them for stereo.
- ✗A power amplifier has no volume control and no input selection - it needs a preamplifier, or a source with a variable output, in front of it.
