Cary Audio has quietly updated their website, revealing some new components in the Cinema Series. Of particular note are the Cary Audio Cinema 7.250 amplifier and the Cary Audio Cinema 11A Processor.

 

The 7.250 is a nice upgrade to their existing Cinema 5 amplifier. Rated at 250 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 400 watts per channel at 4 ohms, the 7.250 maintains balanced and unbalanced inputs. No word on peak current capacity, but those twin torroidal transformers and the bank of capacitors look capable of producing lightning bolts. The Cary Cinema 11A Processor looks to continue Cary's tradition of offering home theater lovers components that will make the hi-fi guys jealous. Similar to the Cinema 6 it replaces, the 11A adds decoding of advanced audio codecs and a pair of HDMI v1.3 inputs.

 

We've waited quite a while for the separates makers to catch up with the mass market offerings in terms of HDMI and codec support, and it's great to see a highly regarded company like Cary Audio offering AV Enthusiasts these options. I am sure that when the reviews start rolling in these components will be as well received as their prior ventures.
