MSX 20 – Ultra Compact Range Wired Satellite Bookshelf and Desktop Surround Speaker with BMR Technology, Includes Keyhole for Wall/Stand Mounting - Amplifier Required – Black

If you are dealing with a smaller room and need compact surround speakers that don't sacrifice performance, these are an absolute hidden gem. My Setup & The "Why": I have a smaller home cinema room running a Denon AVR-X1800H and an Apple TV for media control. I originally bought a Q Acoustics 3010c 5.1 bundle, but decided to reallocate two of the 3010c bookshelves to my home office for music. I needed a smaller, more discrete pair of rear surrounds to complete my 5.1 system, and these Cambridge Audio speakers stepped into the role flawlessly. Performance & Sound Quality: I have used these exclusively as rear surrounds for over 3 months now, so I cannot comment on how they perform in a standard 2.1 stereo setup. However, as surrounds, they are incredible. They provide a beautifully immersive ambient soundstage for movies and TV series. Despite their small footprint, they pack a serious punch and remain crystal clear even during intense action scenes. They blend seamlessly with my other speakers, completing a fantastic all-British ensemble. Form Factor & Mounting: Their size is a massive selling point. Because they are so compact, they are incredibly easy to mount on thin floor stands or directly on the wall. I have mine positioned right up against the edge of the settee, and they don't feel intrusive or bulky at all. Pros: Surprisingly powerful and punchy for such a small cabinet. Crystal clear ambient sound for films and series. Very easy to mount on thin stands or walls in tight spaces. Great price-to-performance ratio. Cons: Limited Context: Because I’ve only used these as dedicated rear surrounds in a small room, I can’t comment on how they would perform as a primary 2.1 stereo setup or standard front bookshelves. Physical Limitations: They are compact speakers designed to pack a punch for their size, so they likely won't have the deep low-end bass required to carry a large living room on their own. Final Verdict: They have perfectly rounded out my 5.1 setup. If you need to save space without ruining your soundstage, I cannot recommend these enough.

Used in a regular hifi set-up the sound is crystal clear, but totally lacking in any bass (due to their small size). With the addition of a subwoofer the sound is superb, if all you listen to is speech then they are excellent on their own but with a subwoofer they come to life, get a sub you'll not regret it. The pros are, a good-looking and well built speaker diminutive in stature which sounds superb when paired with a subwoofer. The cons, price, non-removable grill. Highly recommended 10/10

Great sound for this small speaker. Did not expect strong bass as it is a meant to be satellite speaker. So, I have a subwoofer to go with it.

I needed to re-jig my AV 7.1 system & replace the B&W centre speaker with something smaller that would fit under the T.V. Unable to find a passive soundbar or one I was confident would work in my system I decided to try the minx , & I'm pleased to say it's worked out well. Of course it doesn't have the range of the old centre speaker but once I'd recalibrated the system using the receiver's microphone it's all sounding fine & looks neat. If used on it's own you would need a sub to fill out the sound.

Brilliant little speakers when paired with the matching sub

Nice small & compact, however i got rid of it after a very short while as it wasn't right for my application. I got it for the centre speaker of a 5.1 set-up however the vocals & sound for this centre channel was very weak. I replaced it with a larger speaker and it was louder but centre channel was still poor and i gave-up to a minimum four-speaker set-up. I don't know how good this speaker would've been if i'd used it for other channels but i didn't feel confident about it. It was well constructed though.

Well built. Decent sound given the size. Would have been nice to include some decent swivel brackets. Overall, nice discreet speakers for satellite or add ons for your main speakers.

I bought these to supplement four Minx Min 12’s, but am nonplussed by the larger 22’s. I use them as L/R in a 5.1.2 system, but really can’t say they’re any better than the 12’s they replaced despite costing more. The right hand speaker also sufferers from distortion sometimes. Overall I’d rather I’d saved my cash.

Estupenda calidad de audio. Me ha sorprendido a pesar del tamaño

Aus der Not heraus gekaut, die Cambridge Audio Minx Min 22 Lautsprecher. Nachdem wir unser Wohnzimmer erneuert haben, wurde der TV etwas größer gekaut. So passten meine guten alten Elac Lautsprecher nicht mehr neben das TV Gerät. Nachdem diverse alternativen (Soundbars, Lautsprecher, ...) aus diversen Gründen nicht in Frage kamen, bin ich zufällig auf diese kleine Lautsprechern gestoßen. Das beste, die passen von der breite exakt noch neben den Fernsehen. Nun wollte ich aber nicht meine alten Elac (die noch absolut intakt sind) sowie auf meinen Onkyo Stereo Verstärker (der nur 2 Lautsprecher Eingänge hat) verzichten. So hab ich mir folgenden Plan überlegt: Meine beiden Elac passen umgedreht hinter das TV Gerät. Der Sound geht link und rechts am TV raus, zur Seite (wobei rechts eine Wand und links noch eine Vitrine sich befindet). Da die Elac einen mehr voluminösen Sound produzieren, habe ich mir gedacht, sie mach mehr den bassigen Sound. Die beiden Cambridge Audio Minx Min 22 hab ich parallel an die Elac angeschlossen, Ohm technisch sollte es mit dem Onkyo passen (da ich keine absoluten Werte herausfinden konnte. In den technischen Daten steht nur "an 8 Ohm Systemen kompatibel"). Alles umgesetzt und angeschlossen und nicht bereut. Kino Filme kommen mit perfekten Stereo Sound rüber. Die kleine Cambridge liefern einen guten Sound für Sprachen und auch Effekte. Der Bass kommt definitiv von meine Elac raus. Ich habe die Lautsprechern leider noch nicht allein hören können, nur in Kombi. Der Sound kommt aber klar heraus. Hab mir diverse CD angehört (Grönemeyer, Jean-Michel Jarre, L'Entourloop, Metallica, H-Blockx, ...) und bin zufrieden (Ebenfalls nur in Kombi mit den Elac Lautsprecher). Hab mir für die Zukunft noch überlegt, mit einem mini Stereo Verstärker und den Cambridge Audio Minx Min 22 unseres Web Radio in der Küche mit besseren Sound zu versorgen. Dann wüsste ich auch, wie die Lautsprecher alleine klingen (wobei ich mir nicht vorstellen kann, dass die kleinen mini Verstärker wirklich guten Stereo Sound produzieren). Aus meiner Sicht und Anwendungsfall bin ich mit meiner Lösung sehr zufrieden.

Dopo tanti anni di home theater e di casse giganti, per il bene del nucleo familiare mi sono trovato a optare per casse minuscole e non invadenti.... Direi un ottimo risultato: sto allestendo il terzo impianto 5.1 in una delle mie camere e il suono appare estremamente dettagliato l'impatto e la spazialità del suono sono sorprendentemente ampi rispetto alle dimensioni delle casse.... Ovviamente è necessario un buon subwoofer perché a causa delle dimensioni le casse non riescono a produrre frequenze inferiore ai 120 Hertz comunque prodotto estremamente valido e consigliato che costa tra l'altro estremamente poco rispetto a tanti altri modelli che si fanno pagare per nome che portano dietro...

Un très bon rapport qualité prix Branché sur mon hom cinéma harman kardon Le rendu des sons est parfait

Ik had al een paar jaar twee oudere typen minx 11. Ik had ze geplaatst naast mijn monitor. Ik was altijd al tevreden over dit geluid en twijfelde of ik €320 wilde uitgeven voor twee Minxen 22. Maar ik ben blij dat ik dit gedaan heb. Deze nieuwe Minxen klinken veel opener en helderder en ook de lage tonen weergave is beter. Ze voldoen volledig aan mijn verwachtingen!
