## Description

Product Description

Review: A Brilliant Sub-woofer - Cambridge Audio is a long-established British supplier of hi-fi and sound systems. Their products are designed and developed in the UK but, I think, manufactured in Asia. So we float products halfway around the world to get them back to where they were conceived! Never mind. Their speakers are a good investment. I was foolish enough to spend too much money on a Bose setup when I moved house a few years ago. It was expensive and the sound - to say the least - disapppointing. I have a Marantz AV receiver, which I'm delighted with, and was looking for a set of speakers to replace the Bose. After a lot of research I discovered that Cambridge Audio surround systems seemed to tick all the boxes. I wanted something that did not dominate my living space but produced a good solid sound image when playing feature films and music. The Minx X201 subwoofer combined with M12 and M22 satellite speakers is a formidable performer. The bass is extended but not boomy and the satelitte sound is clear and smooth. The sound image is stable and the surround effect convincing. However, if you decide to invest, beware that it's essential configure the set up correctly. It probably works best if you have all the speakers from one manufacturer. There is a variable crossover setting on the X201, as well as volume and phase adjusters. Phase setting is zero when combined with the Cambridge Audio satellite speakers. The settings are straight forward compared with the variations available on the Marantz and it really is worth persisting with these to get the best out of the setup. It represents excellent value for money and the whole system is very unobtrusive. It is said that with loudspeakers a good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un. I agree with that but don't want my living room to resemble a sound studio. This is a good compromise.
Review: WOW, seriously, * * YOU MUST READ THIS * * Just £299 to completely transform your TV - WOW, seriously, * * YOU MUST READ THIS * * Just £299 to completely transform your ATMOS listening experience. CHECK THIS - all the reviews I read about the screen sound of the Sony Bravia 8 said "oh no" I need to purchase a sound bar !!!! You can keep the TV speakers on unless you purchase a Sony cinema kit ! WELL here's the review you've been waiting for. USE the Sony Bravia Fabulous TV Screen speakers ad a PROZOR DAC at just £9.99 and connect your Sony Bravia to it via Optical TOSLINK Cable, THEN connect to THIS Cambridge Audio Minx X201-200 Watt Active Subwoofer and you have the most incredible sound system which fill your room with breath taking bass (my room size is 3m x 3.4m) and the 77in Bravia 8 is better than the discarded Bose which was attached to our 55in Panasonic OLED... WHY THIS..... because sound bars cancel the tv speaker system, even the Sony soundbar - just allows the TV to be a center speaker when connected BUT this set-up Bravia-DAC-Cambridge Audio Minx X201 keeps the sound as it was meant to.... AMAZING, yes AMAZING... Thanks Cambridge for the solution I was looking for, which most reviewers said could not be done.... Thank you.....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny and great looking sub with a big, clean sound.
*by N***B on 8 August 2020*

Great little sub. Bought for a home theatre setup to compliment Q Acoustics 3010/90 speakers. I didn't want a huge big ugly box in the living room, nor a boomy sub that would keep everyone awake at night. This is perfect. It looks tiny, it looks great in white with a glossy finish - can be easily hidden away or be on show in a modern living room. Most importantly, it sounds fantastic. With the three drivers (one active, two passive) it makes the utmost of its tiny form factor. But it adds the right amount of perfectly clean, tight and deep bass to a 5m x 5m room. Great for music, and great for TV/Movies as part of an AV setup. If you're looking for something to rock your entire house, then look elsewhere, but if you're looking for something that looks great, sounds great and rocks only your living room then I can't recommend this enough.
