Short answer is yes. Long answer is what options do you have if you are considering the EMM price range?
Price doesn't relate to performance unless you are comparing designers that are great at giving value. There are rip offs and steals at every price range so my concern would be why you picked these two to ask about when they are apples and oranges?
I ask because your first mistake may be that you are looking at choices based on reviews. You need to find someone with a great ear you trust and who knows system matching or be able to hear them in your system.
I hope you have a great dealer you can lean on, unfortunately they are becoming rare.
Cambridge will hold its own against other great value players like Arcam, Rotel, Musical Fidelity and entry Esoteric and beat more expensive less value players like high end Marantz.
The EMM will compete against other high value high end companies like Exemplar, Ayre, and Dodsen, while beating high end over priced stuff like Levinson and Krell.
