Cambridge Audio L/R X – Stereo for Music and Film
The Cambridge Audio L/R X are active stereo streaming speakers for music and TV sound in medium to large rooms. They are aimed at people who want to enjoy music extensively without having to assemble a traditional system consisting of an amplifier, streamer, and speakers.
Key Features at a Glance
- For larger listening spaces: Powerful bass reproduction and a spacious soundstage from compact enclosures.
- Music your way: Enjoy streaming, your own recordings, and vinyl records with the same pair of speakers.
- Discreet design: Integrated amplification and flexible connection between the speakers.
When Music Deserves More Space
Listening to an album in peace or enjoying a movie night with more powerful sound: The L/R X are designed for larger rooms without taking on the form factor of floorstanding speakers. Their combination of woofers, side passive membranes, and specially developed tweeters is tuned for bass pressure and a spacious soundstage.
Quiet moments are also taken into account. Dynamic EQ adjusts the sound balance to the volume; additional sound settings allow you to tailor the playback to your own room.
From Playlists to Record Collections
The integrated StreamMagic platform makes streaming services and internet radio accessible without an additional source device. Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, and Amazon Music are included, as is integration into suitable multi-room systems via AirPlay 2 or Google Cast. Bluetooth remains an easy way to spontaneously select music from your smartphone.
Existing favorite sources do not have to give way: An MM turntable finds a connection at the phono input, while a CD player uses the analog RCA input. USB audio and a USB media input are available for computers and your own music files; an optical input completes the selection. An active subwoofer can be added if needed.
Via HDMI eARC, the L/R X also become a stereo system for the TV. This means you can stick with a single pair of speakers whether a series is running in the evening or music follows afterwards.
More Freedom in Placement
An audio cable does not have to run across the living room between the speakers: The L/R X can exchange their signal wirelessly via WiSA HT. Those who prefer a cable connection can use the included Speaker Link cable instead. A power connection is required for both speakers.
The floating-looking base and the subtle underlighting give the pair a distinctive presence. The separately available L/R X Speaker Stands bring the tweeters to ear level when seated and hide the cables in their columns.
Comparison of L/R X, L/R M, and L/R S
Compared to the L/R M, the L/R X offer more amplifier power and an optional wireless connection between the speakers; the L/R M require less floor space. The even smaller L/R S are particularly suitable for desks and smaller living areas. They offer Bluetooth with aptX HD but, unlike the L/R X and L/R M, lack integrated network streaming, HDMI, and an MM phono stage.
| Feature | L/R X | L/R M | L/R S |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amplifier power per pair | 800 W | 300 W | 100 W |
| Network streaming | StreamMagic, Wi-Fi/LAN | StreamMagic, Wi-Fi/LAN | Not integrated |
| Connection between the speakers | WiSA HT or USB-C Speaker Link | USB-C Speaker Link | Analog cable connection |
| HDMI eARC / MM phono input | Yes / Yes | Yes / Yes | No / No |
| Bluetooth codecs | SBC, AAC | SBC, AAC | SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD |
| Device weight, primary / secondary | 10.6 / 10.4 kg | 6.2 / 5.4 kg | 3 / 2.6 kg |
Suitability and Important Notes
Who is this pair of speakers suitable for?
- For music lovers looking for a versatile stereo system without separate amplifier and streaming devices.
- For households where vinyl records, streaming, and movies are part of everyday life.
Important Notes
- For the TV connection, the TV must support HDMI ARC or eARC. Stereo PCM sound is reproduced via HDMI and the optical input.
- The phono input is designed for MM cartridges; turntables with their own phono preamplifier should be connected to the analog line input.
- USB is not intended for connecting or charging mobile devices. Use only the included Speaker Link cable for a wired speaker connection.
Conclusion
The L/R X are a suitable choice if you do not want to separate the music system and TV sound in the living room. Their concept allows for different listening habits without filling the living area with multiple Hi-Fi devices.
