Product Information
The Cambridge Audio AXA25 puts sound first - great sound simply doesn’t get much better than this.
No bells and whistles, just great sound
Inside the AXA25 you’ll find quality components and short signal paths for the best sound quality in its class. Careful circuit design reduces the signal path, giving higher purity sound and less distortion. Other quality engineering components include a high-spec heat sink that is die-cast rather than pressed steel and a damped power supply – reducing the chance of annoying transformer hum and buzz.
All the features you need
Although Cambridge Audio hasn’t wasted money on gimmicks, the AXA25 still has all the basic features you need. Balance, Bass and Treble controls let you tailor the sound to your preference, without overly distorting it as EQ presets can do. There are also a wide range of inputs.
Plenty of inputs – including one at the front
Four RCA phono inputs are ideal for a CD player, streamer, games console and turntable. There’s also a 3.5mm AUX input at the front that’s handy for temporary connections – such as an MP3 player or smartphone. The audio output lets you take a signal out to an external processor or recorder.
Power your music player or Bluetooth receiver
Next to the audio inputs you’ll also find a handy USB power socket. This is perfect for powering Bluetooth receivers or smart audio streaming devices, such as the Google Chromecast Audio, without having to find another spare mains socket.
Sleek new style
The entire Cambridge AX Series has a fresh new look that catches the eye. The Lunar Grey front panel contrasts with the black top and sides, making it ‘pop’ into crisp focus. The minimalist button count give a timeless style that’s typical of the Cambridge Audio brand. The teardrop facia with wedge foot mirrors the CX Series, showing a strong family link between ranges.
Make your move into hi-fi separates in style, with the class-leading Cambridge Audio AXA25.
Smooth, detailed sound meets elegant design, with the Cambridge Audio AXC25.
Putting sound first
Skilfully engineered, the Cambridge Audio AXC25 puts the emphasis firmly on sound quality. Features such as separate power and output circuit boards and a centrally mounted CD transport help reduce distortion and maximise the potential of the high quality Wolfson DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). Features are basic but the sound is certainly a step above its rivals.
Now with gapless playback
New to the AXC25 is gapless playback. With some CDs, a marker point is placed between tracks, even though the music runs continuously. This produces an annoying pause in the music as the player reads the track marker. With gapless playback, this is no longer an issue, meaning you get to hear the whole album exactly as the artist intended.

”Small, great sounding and wonderfully affordable. The Dali Kupid are an easy recommendation.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2025 award-winner.
Designed to fit in, built to stand out
Compact and easy to place, the DALI KUPID speakers suit a wide range of applications. Ideal for smaller rooms, they also make neat and stylish desktop speakers. The vibrant range of colours makes them equally suited to multiroom systems, where you might want a different visual vibe in each room, but the same great sound throughout.
Smooth and detailed top-end response
Fitted with ultra-light, 26mm soft dome tweeters, the KUPID’s strike the perfect balance between top-end detail and smoothness. The high level of refinement makes them ideal for listening close-up, on your desktop, as the treble remains free from harshness and harmonic distortion.
Natural mid-range
With its paper and wood fibre woofer cones, the mid-range is articulate and fast to respond. True to DALI’s sonic signature, the mid-range is smoothly integrated and lifelike, making vocals sound as though they are in the room. The compact woofers are also fast to respond, giving instruments such as drums and electric guitars the edge and impact you’d expect from a live performance.
Focused on clarity
Custom designed crossovers promote a seamless coherence between the drivers. Designed to deliver foot-tapping and crystal-clear timing, the crossover design helps you forget about the hi-fi element and simply enjoy the music.
Dual Flare bass port for deep, punchy bass
For such small speakers, the KUPID deliver surprisingly deep and powerful bass. The DALI developed woofers feature long-throw excursions, meaning they shift more air for deeper bass. Aided by a Dual Flare bass port, you get a richly balanced sound, even at lower volume levels.
Ideal for wall mounting
Compact dimensions make the KUPID ideal for wall mounting. Supplied with wall brackets and fixing screws, they’re ready to go. Alternatively, for desktop or bookcase use, the supplied rubber feet help keep the speakers secure and isolated from vibrations.
Finished to suit your style
Whatever the style you prefer, KUPID has the answer. For a traditional aesthetic, there’s Black Ash and Dark Walnut finishes that blend in with the surroundings. For something more striking, choose between Caramel White, Golden Yellow and Chilly Blue. Each of the colourways features a colour-keyed woofer and grille cover for seamless style to match the sound.
Enjoy the sound of DALI in more places and spaces than ever, with the compact yet big-hearted KUPID.
