Cambridge Audio P50 - Who knows anythin about this amp???

[Thomas Brandner]

Hi all,
I'm desperately searching the web for information on the Cambridge Audio
P50 integrated Amplifier.
Does anyone have experiences with this amp? Do you know if there is any
information somewhere?
I think it is rated with only 40W per channel. Is that satisfactory to
run large Canton floorstanding speakers (sensitivity 88,3 dB).

Thanks for your answers,
regards

Thomas

I doubt that a P50 is really up to the job of driving your Cantons. It
was a very pretty amp, but didn't enjoy any great reputation - except
for breaking down!

Unfortunately, *that* Cambridge Audio is about four changes of owner
removed from the original company! :-)

Still, could be worth a try.
