Cambridge Audio's Latest Mini Amplifier Packs A Mighty Punch

Cambridge Audio's Latest Mini Amplifier Packs A Mighty Punch

Forbes13-06-2025
Classic British hi-fi brand Cambridge Audio has announced a new and compact power amplifier that's designed to drive even the most difficult loudspeakers without being so large it takes over your whole living room.
The new MXW70 offers both power and refinement to almost any audio setup and the London-based brand is touting the amplifier as the 'perfect partner' to Cambridge Audio's compact MXN10 Music Streamer. Like the MXN10, the MXW70 has a half-width form factor that can build into a compact and high-performance streaming system.
Although the new MXW70 has a compact form factor, it's not lacking in power as it can output 70W per channel of stereo power which is bridgeable into mono mode to serve up an impressive 250W.
By combining the MXW70 with Cambridge Audio's award-winning MXN10 Music Streamer, it's possible to have a complete compact streaming hi-fi stack. By adding the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M DAC, the system can have further digital clarity as well as a hi-res headphone output.
Like all of Cambridge Audio's products, the MXW70 was designed in London, at the company's HQ. The MXW70 has been engineered to deliver high-quality amplification that can fit into an existing setup or form the basis for a powerful mini hi-fi system.
The secret behind the amplifier's power in the use of Hypex NCore Class D amplification. This type of efficient Class D amplification can deliver smooth, dynamic and powerful audio that can easily pair with a wide range of loudspeakers, even ones that are difficult to drive.
With a width of just 215mm across, the MXW70 conveniently is much easier to fit on a bookshelf, desk or rack system. It's even small enough to be tucked away in a cupboard.
To connect to speakers and other sources, the MXW70 comes with a couple of high-quality speaker outputs and stereo RCA inputs for hitching up analog sources like a tape deck or FM tuner. The MXW70 also has premium XLR inputs for noise-free, studio-grade signal transmission.
Although this new amplifier is small, the build quality isn't cut back like some half-width separates. The MXW70 has a premium all-metal casework and features a minimalist design finished in Cambridge Audio's instantly recognizable Lunar Grey finish.
Pricing and Availability:
Cambridge Audio MXW70 will be available from summer 2025 at cambridgeaudio.com and approved retailers, priced at $599 / £499 / €599.

Barcelona 2025-26 kit: New home, away, third & goalkeeper jerseys, release dates, shirt leaks & prices

Barcelona and Nike will unveil the 2025-26 kit collection this summer, featuring a refreshed look across the home, away, third and goalkeeper jerseys. The home shirt follows the classic Blaugrana palette with a modern gradient stripe merge, while the away kit will likely adopt a bold 'Mamba' theme in light gold and purple. A vibrant 'Bright Mango' third kit nods to Nike's Total 90 heritage, complete with a dedicated Total 90 third goalkeeper set. The American sports manufacturing giants Nike have been supplying the Catalonia-based side's kits since 1998, and the age-old partnership will continue in the 2025-26 season as well, despite rumours of a split in 2024. Football teams and their kits for the 2025-26 season GOAL takes a look at what the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and co. will be wearing in the upcoming season. Barcelona 2025-26 home kit, release date & price Barcelona have pulled the curtain back on their brand-new home kit for the 2025/26 campaign—and it's already turning heads. Crafted by Nike, the latest strip offers a bold twist on the club's iconic Blaugrana design, while still paying homage to its roots. The jersey features a clean, modern silhouette, with a rounded collar and neatly tailored sleeve cuffs that give it a polished, athletic edge. What really sets this shirt apart is the gradient blend of red and deep blue down the middle, creating a smooth transition that brings a fresh flair to the classic vertical stripes. Adding to its premium appeal, all the logos are finished in a striking yellow, popping nicely against the richer tones of the kit. On the upper back, a clever fusion of the Catalan flag and club colors adds a subtle but meaningful touch. Stylish on the pitch and sharp enough to wear in the stands, the 2025-26 Barça home shirt is available now for €150 (£128, $175), with fans already snapping it up since its July 2 release. Barcelona 2025-26 away kit, release date & price Inspired by the iconic 'Mamba' mentality, the away jersey is a standout piece in light 'Team Gold,' accented with bold Persian Violet and black details. The collar and cuffs mimic a Lakers-style trim—black-violet-black, which adds a stylish tribute to Kobe Bryant while connecting sport and legacy. It's one of the boldest away designs Barça has worn in years. Barcelona's new away kit takes a dramatic leap from last season's design. The 2025-26 version features a bold 'Team Gold' body, accented by Persian Violet and black trim inspired by Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. It swaps the minimalist, retro look of 2024-25 for a bolder, culture-fused aesthetic, merging football heritage with basketball influence through color and detailing. Barcelona 2025-26 third kit, release date & price The third kit for 2025-26 introduces a vibrant 'Bright Mango' color, reminiscent of early 2000s Nike kits, especially the Total 90 era. It's a major shift from the previous season's third shirt, which had a more subdued, modern look. This year's model is louder and more nostalgic, embracing bold contrasts and retro flair, particularly in the shoulder striping and logo placements. The third shirt explodes with personality, using a striking 'Bright Mango' base—a vivid orange tone—paired with 'Midnight Navy' logos, trims, and shoulder stripes. Channeling early 2000s nostalgia, the design reintroduces Nike's Total 90 aesthetic with a modern flair, making it one of the most anticipated shirts of the season. Barcelona 2025-26 goalkeeper kit, release date & price The new goalkeeper kits reintroduce the Total 90 branding, giving them a sharp, almost futuristic vibe with angular graphics and bold color blocking. In contrast, the 2024-25 keeper jerseys leaned toward gradient fades and soft textures. This year's designs—especially the 'Mamba' edition with purple stripes and the mirrored orange third kit—are more assertive and stylized, embracing visual identity as much as functionality.

The New Germany Fund, Inc. Announces Results of the Fund's Annual Meeting of Stockholders

NEW YORK, July 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The New Germany Fund, Inc. (NYSE: GF) (the "Fund") announced today the results of its Annual Meeting of Stockholders which was initially called to order and adjourned on June 30, 2025 and reconvened on July 18, 2025. Both of the two Class I Directors nominated by the Board of Directors, Ms. Fiona Flannery and Dr. Holger Hatje, were elected to serve for a term of three years and until his or her respective successor is elected and qualifies. The Fund previously announced that, prior to the adjournment of the meeting on June 30, 2025, stockholders ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditors for the Fund for its 2025 fiscal year. Important Information The Fund is diversified and primarily focuses its investments in Germany, thereby increasing its vulnerability to developments in that country. Investing in foreign securities, particularly of emerging markets, presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market or a particular geographical region will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value. War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in US and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the funds and their investments. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction. Certain statements contained in this release may be forward-looking in nature. These include all statements relating to plans, expectations, and other statements that are not historical facts and typically use words like "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "intend," and similar expressions.

All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Management does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
