Description

The Cambridge Audio SX-50 are two-way bookshelf speakers that combine a compact design with exceptional sound quality, ideal for small and medium spaces. Measuring 16.1 x 24 x 22.5 cm and weighing 3.0 kg per speaker, they feature a Matte Black finish that fits any decor.

Their construction includes a 5.25” (135mm) woofer with treated paper cones and a 1” (25mm) silk dome tweeter, offering powerful midrange and high sound. The frequency response ranges from 50Hz to 22kHz, while their sensitivity is 87dB, making them compatible with amplifiers of 10–100W power. 

Their design includes a rear bass reflex port, enhancing low-frequency performance and delivering rich, full sound. Reviews acknowledge their strong performance for their category, although some users note that the high frequencies can be a bit muffled in certain placement positions.

    The BEST speaker to get in the sub $200 USD category in 2025 (your price might vary). Don't believe me? Go listen to them.

    I had a 55sqm space where I had my PC, a Denon 7.2 AVR, with a set of handmade 7.2 speakers, the 3 center speakers with Morel speakers and the 4 peripherals with Monacor speakers. Due to a change in use, converting it into a living room, the 4 peripherals had to be removed, where they had 8" speakers, and some smaller ones had to be installed on the ceiling so that it wouldn't resemble a club, as it used to. With the Denon AVR at 95 watts per channel, at least a 100-watt speaker had to be installed. These smaller 100-watt speakers are the ones I got, and they didn't even flinch with 80 watts for an hour, nor did they even get warm, so the 100 watts they claim is real.

    Sound:

    Bass:
    The change from 8" to 5" woofers had a chaotic difference, so I won't judge their bass meticulously since I am biased. I simply mention that the bass is lost after a distance of 3 meters. In a small room, it might be somewhat, if not a little, sufficient, but I think that in a small space, you can listen to music decently. The good thing is that this bass itself is a clean sound, you can hear notes and instruments clearly, and not just the noise that many speakers produce just to make a racket. Personally, to balance them in the 7.2 setup, I cut off the frequencies below 120Hz from the Denon, and now they play relatively well since they got rid of the bass. The subwoofers could have provided the missing bass, and everything would have been balanced. If you don't cut them off, they are almost tragic above a certain volume, but if you cut them off around 120Hz, they play quite well.

    Midrange:
    The midrange is relatively clear, but if you load it with bass, you lose a large part of it. At low levels (25-40 watts), they are magically fast, but considering the price of 170 euros, you won't be left speechless.

    Treble:
    The treble is very good and clear, you can hear the tweeter from the bass reflex, and I think it's the same as the 60 model.

    Build quality:
    It is a well-built speaker, it is sturdy, it has foam for bass adjustment if it is placed in a cabinet, and adhesive feet to prevent it from vibrating where you place it. It doesn't hang, it doesn't have a hook. I screwed them with wood screws onto a wall mount. The cable connections are very good.

    Overall:
    For speakers this small, with this sound, at this price and with 100 watts, it is a somewhat expensive but specialized choice. It's good if you pair them with a subwoofer. However, 170 euros + subwoofer = a much better pair of speakers.

    For a small space, for listening to mp3, YouTube, Tunein, or for TV or PC speakers in a room, they are fine and maybe worth the 170 euros, very small in size and with clean sound at low watts.

    For surround sound, where I have them in the living room, for music in the living room, for large spaces in general.
    170 euros is a lot and the speakers are small, they simply aren't enough.

    Very good speakers, I have listened to many other speakers in this size category and they are considerably more expensive, but in the end I preferred them for their rich sound. They have excellent midrange, relaxing and soft highs, and their lows are very good for the size category of the speaker. If you pair them with a quality amplifier and a good sound source, you will have an exceptional result with performance that you won't believe for the price category of the speakers. They play quite loudly and comfortably cover a medium-sized space. I drive them with a 2×70 rms transistor power amplifier. I also used speaker cables from the same company with very good results and they are particularly cheap. I also compared them to my much more expensive large speakers and they stood up to the challenge. Those who have listened to them can't believe that speakers of such an affordable category can sound so good! I highly recommend them without hesitation!

    Quite flat sound nevertheless full I would say, they are relatively small and in volume but they reach very high intensity, they are not for a very large space though because they lose the lows.

  • Very good speakers. I found them on sale for 120 euros and bought them for my hi-fi setup that I have on my TV. In the end, I ended up using them in my studio for video editing, recording, music listening, and gaming. The performance of the speakers surprised me for their price. I would recommend them for small spaces and not being too far away from the listener.

    Good evening, I also got them today from an online store at a pretty good price, and that was mainly the reason, 122 euros. No comparison to the existing Klipsch rf-52 that I wanted to match them with.........! I simply wanted them as surround speakers and they didn't work out for me! Their quality didn't impress me at all from the beginning. I wonder if those who praised them have never heard a higher quality sound before?

    What more could you ask for? Wonderful midrange, full-bodied, sweet, descriptive. Primo wonderfully, not rounded at all, impress and stand out, as for the bass, you search to see where they come from! A wonderful speaker for 162 euros! (the black one) I work it connected in parallel with two old Yamaha subs and I'm amazed! For an amazing sub, add the KODA 212! FOR FREE! Sit comfortably and listen to compressed files from the excellent sound card of the MEIZU PRO 5 - amazing phone with DDR4 memory, 4K VIDEO, 64GB AND 4GB RAM, fingerprint!

  • Very good speakers. I found them on sale for 120 euros and bought them for my hi-fi setup that I have on my TV. In the end, I ended up using them in my studio for video editing, recording, music listening, and gaming. The performance of the speakers surprised me for their price. I would recommend them for small spaces and not being too far away from the listener.
