cambridge audio A5 vs Azur 540a v2

[basshead]

hi all.

my father is planning to buy a new system for his office/bridge playing room and has asked my advice on a few things...

how do the cambridge audio A5 and 540a compare? they are both rated at 60w per channel but the 540 is double the price. is the 540 worth the extra money in terms of sound quality? is is a lot of the extra price simply for the 'muliti-room' functions?

thanks

I had the 540a v2 for a while and it had very good sound, I've not heard the a5 but considering the extra development and better components used in the 540 I'd have to say it justifies the price.

Not heard the Azur range. The A5 I had for about 2 days and hated it. On that basis the 540 has to be an improvement. . .
