Designed from a clean sheet, the Cambridge S30 speakers are the latest offering from masters of audio, Cambridge Audio. At the heart of this new design lies a deceptively powerful, composite bass unit. With its phase cap and long throw cone, it helps the S30 deliver a strong, powerful bass, whilst still providing believable vocal imaging.
Matching this is a soft dome tweeter whose state-of-the-art motor system means that higher frequencies are smooth, superbly controlled and detailed.
The ported cabinet is braced and stiffened for maximum rigidity, with curved corners that not only look good but also improve the imagining properties of the design. Finishing off this quality stand mount speaker are bi-wirable, three-way gold plated, 4mm speaker connections. For ease of placement the S30s are also magnetically shielded.
For a quality compact speaker that works superbly with Cambridge Audio or other brands, the S30 is well worth checking out.

"This clever design has an air of quality that extends from its build to its sound. These 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. 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." - What Hi-Fi?
