Cambridge Audio S30 Stand mount loudspeaker Bookshelf Speaker Pair

Description: Resided in a clean environmentally controlled listening space. Non-smoking. Note that one of the speakers has a scratch on the top of the speaker. The rest, I will copy from Cambridge Audio S30 reviews or from the manufacturer. I will include a brand new set of high quality jumper cables. Much better than the thin copper plates that were OEM equipment.____________________________________________________________________________________ Stylish looks, punchy soundExperience the crisp treble, surprisingly deep bass, and extraordinary soundstage that Cambridge Audio's S30 speakers deliver. You'll be amazed that these compact bookshelf speakers have the power to make your favorite concerts, movies, and sports come to life. These monitors are ideal for home theater or stereo setups in small-to-medium-sized rooms, or as hi-fi desktop computer speakers. Designed and engineered with passionAll of Cambridge Audio's S-series speakers are carefully designed and tested at their London facility by a teAam of engineers fueled by a passion for incredible sound. Unlike some compact speakers which can sound shrill or fatiguing, each S30 uses a 1" soft dome tweeter for silky smooth highs. It features a state-of-the-art motor system with a neodymium magnet and critically selected voice coil assembly. The 4-1/2" woven composite mid/woofer delivers accurate midrange and powerful, yet controlled bass with minimal distortion.A rigid phase plug at the center of the woofer cone improves the S30's off-axis response, so you can enjoy seamless audio even if you're not sitting directly in front of your TV or sound system. And the custom-designed first order crossover sends the right frequencies to the right drivers to keep your music and movie soundtracks sounding faithful to the studio original.The solidly braced MDF cabinets helps prevent unwanted resonance from coloring the sound. Dual binding posts give you the option to bi-wire or bi-amp these speakers for the best sound possible with your setup. Plus, the pair is video shielded for safe placement next to older tube TVs or computer monitors.This isn't the first time Cambridge Audio has made speakers: some 30 years ago its R50 and R70 speakers were well-respected designs.However, those were nothing like the new speakers: the S30s are small, standing just 22cm tall and 16cm wide. Much smaller and it would have been hard to fit the 10cm woven composite mid/bass unit and 25mm soft-dome tweeter into the front baffle.As it is, the faceplate of the tweeter is cut away to bring the two drivers closer together for better integration. The design of the drivers allows a simplified crossover to be used between them, and the speakers are biwirable for even greater definition and control. Cabinet volume is maintained by making the S30s quite deep from front to back, and to the rear a single component combines the biwirable terminal block and bass reflex port, the loudspeakers being designed to be used at least 8cm out from a rear wall. Winning punch and detailThese are highly accomplished speakers, with a winning mix of punch and detail. The bass isn't seismic, even if extension down to 59Hz is impressive, but entertains by being fast and precise, powering music along whether with crashy rock or dramatic classical pieces.Basslines are easy to follow, and drums sound reasonably substantial and are well defined.But it's in the midband and treble that the S30s really shine, and we suspect this has a lot to do with the minimal crossover used. Voices are open and detailed, and instruments – from acoustic to electric – have excellent character and real bite when required.Get these speakers on some decent heavy stands, toed-in slightly toward the listening position, and you also get a well-focussed, precise soundstage with a really good sense of ambience.The S30s live up to the familiar Cambridge formula: they're classy-looking, sound superb, and offer an intriguing alternative to the established favourites at this level.
