Product Description
The stylish and punchy S30 heralds Cambridge Audio's loudspeaker revival. The R50 and R70 were highly regarded speakers in the 1970s and like its forbears, the new S30 offers excellent depth and soundstage yet extraordinary value for money. Designed from the ground-up, the S30 is a delicately revealing speaker which is the perfect partner to Cambridge Audio's array of electronics products, working particularly well with the mid range Azur series for the perfect budget package. A 4.5" composite woven driver delivers a powerful yet controlled bass performance while offering extremely low distortion and excellent dispersion of higher frequencies. This is matched to a soft-dome tweeter featuring a neodymium driver with a state-of-the-art motor system and a critically selected voice coil assembly. By virtue of a purist mechanical design, a simple first order crossover is capable of perfectly controlling high and low frequency distribution. This custom designed component features audiophile grade polypropylene capacitors and enables the S30 to be bi-wired for greater bass control, crisper treble and improved detail. The ported cabinet design is braced and stiffened for minimum movement and features a neat terminal panel with three-way gold plated bullet connectors.

The bass coming out of this speaker is sharp, clean, and powerful, and far more tonal than other (or famous, boomy) tuned/ported speakers. Really detailed stereo imaging begins way down in the midrange. Super-smooth vocals and instruments. The instruments are unaffected by each other, with is a nice compliment to the Cambridge Audio amps. The top of the high end is flat response: I had a problem with my Walkman CD player, but it's solved by using a decent component CD player. Which is to say...when you get good speakers, you may expose a weak link. The imaging from these is fantastic, they tolerate power well, and are quite loud with lower power (efficiency). I am very pleased, but I need to upgrade other components now, bit by bit.

Had them for a couple of months now and burned them in quite a bit! I can definitely say that these have nice lows and highs. The midrange is nice too. Paired these up with an Outlaw m8 sub and a sherwood newcastle amp and I have the best stereo system in my house.

Aside from DIY or used these are it, the price/performance knock out. I have them in a near-field setup on my desk powered by an Indeed Audio T-amp from Peter on eBay and it's a fantastic little system with plenty of headroom. I may have to move them to some stands and see what they can do! The lows are deliberate and controlled for a rear port, especially. If you like Brit speakers, you'll love these little wonders. They're well made and handsome, too.
