My Cambridge AXR100. Love it!
@@edholmwood great piece!
@@edholmwood Such a stellar amp!
Andrew, you look handsome in camel color. QOTD, you knew I will mention Dali Oberon 1, because I bought it and enjoy it everyday…. It is wonderful! If you allow me, one more is the RME adi-2 dac fs, it is not cheap, but very very good, strong customer support with the CEO always answer questions from customer, and polish their firmware from time to time 🤠
@@andrewrobinsonreviews hi Andrew awesome content and I'm so excited for tomorrow it's my bday
I really liked this speaker. The Minx XL is also great
I just looked at your review and aspects of the design are slightly different. I wonder if they have been updated in any other way or if it’s just cosmetic.
You said that they play poorly 😂
Honestly, I'm so glad you guys reviewed the Magnats. I literally bought them the day after the review, and I love them. Thank you for all of your videos. Even if it is one person at a time, you're helping someone somewhere cut a little happiness into their lives.
That's awesome!
This made me warm inside!
I bought a set of Kanto YU6's and a Sub8 thanks to Andrew's recommendation. They're exactly what I was looking for and couldn't be happier
@@jerryjb I also have that combo, it’s very good
Happy to hear about a good experience with these bookshelves. Im content with all my setups currently, but always love hearing about new things
Just want to say thank you to you Andrew and Kristi, your videos are a highlight of my Sundays. I was just watching the Forte IV review and realized how incredibly far you've come in such a short period of time, even with the technical filming aspects.
That's so kind of you to say. We appreciate you watching!
Thank you so much!
This video was very fun to watch. The banter between the both of you is exquisite and it is always good to have a slightly divergent view on a topic! I do not have a favorite budget product because I didn't have the chance to listen to any one of them. Thanks ! See you later!
Andrew thank you so much. Your videos guided me to buy the following items from Cambridge Sx60
Cambridge AX100
Cambridge CNX V2
SVS micro3000
My dedicated music room is singing. I can see upgrading thre sx60 in the furture for higher volume listening level. It's good all good. Thanks again. No regrets at all. Just finished hooking up the CNX V2. Loving it.
Love your videos. I really appreciate the amount of work you put into making them with so much passion and enthusiasm. I have bought some of the products you’ve reviewed with the Tannoy Gold 7s being my most recent purchase and I absolutely love them!
Keep at it man ✊🏻
Great review as always Andrew. My favourite budget product I bought this year is SMSL SU-8 DAC. Brought my budget hifi to life.
Loved this review and take on the "surprise factor". And was so happy that Kristi went out of the box to rave for a second on the Magats. There is something to the idea of someone encountering your system and saying "what the heck is THAT, did you get it at a garage sale?" and then it just kicks butt and is a ton of fun to listen to.
I know this video is 2years old but brother I just bought these speakers and OMG the sound amazing, if this a $300 dollars speaker I can only imagine how the Focal the via would sound like , any way me and my wife enjoy all your and Kristy videos, god bless you both Thank you
Always a good day when A&K release a new video.
Quality budget gear makes me smile cuz it offers the opportunity for more folks to be introduced to hifi (or perhaps, midfi). More enthusiasts can only be a good thing.
I'm going in a different direction with your question of the day. For me, this year has been one of used CDs. One can't get more "budget" than that. I've been able to grab a lot of discs from the 70s and 80s for about half the usual price. And they sound from not bad to stellar. Some have been remastered, others have not.
I see you almost had to bleep Kristi, not once but twice! :) That's OK. We all know that feeling and love it. It's like opening your favourite gift on Christmas morning.
First off, I really enjoy your reviews. For the 2021 year the most enjoyable budget items I have used were the Jamo Concert Series speakers. To the point that I have purchased the C9 ii Center, and c93 ii Bookshelf Speakers. Soon I will purchase the C95 ii towers as well.
Keep up the great job that you and Kristi are doing.
I bought the Emotiva T Zero, and I was very surprised. I recommend the T zeroes to anyone looking for a budget speaker that is laid back, great at low levels with the spaciousness of a large speaker and absolutely non-fatiguing. We suddenly have a baby in the house and my RC70's are NOT low level speakers...I cant believe I nailed it on the first try. These speakers sound huge!
My favourite relatively budget speakers are the Warfedale Diamond 12.4 Light Oak finish, but I'll be getting the 12.3, just on pure asceticism alone, they've won my heart, their's something about the castle turret like appearance that I can't escape, your review of the Hecco 700 nearly made me change my mind, the Hecco's probably have the sound im after, but I feel the Warfedale sound I will learn to love more and more overtime, kind of like getting to know a good friend better over time.
Keep up the good work Guy's, great reviews 👍 👏 👌.
Awesome video guys. Always looking forward on your next video and you guys never disappoint us. Beautiful speakers by the way.
Thank you, Jonathan!
Hi, thanks for being there!
I have to apologize to Kristi for misspelling her name, I just didn’t know the proper spelling at the time.
OK, I just love the way you folks discuss the gear, you are very enlightening.
Here’s my take; I have a small study, actually a third bedroom that has been converted to a study
with a couch that can be expanded for grandchildren who visit. The room is either 10x11 or slightly larger
And there is a large computer desk and a bookshelf plus a good sized dresser.
I have a new Cambridge AXA35 amplifier, that I absolutely love, feeding a pair of Pioneer SP BS22 LR speakers. I was thinking about the Cambridge SX 50 or SX 60 speakers because I think they would mate better with this amp. Kristi’s response about the SX60’s is exactly what I was looking for! When the budget allows, I will go for the SX60’s. Happy holidays and stay safe!
Nice list of comparison.
Good job you two
Thank you so much, Jack Finks! We appreciate you watching.
Great informative video.Bravo to you Andrew who put Christi in the world of hi fi !!Well done Christi.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favourite "budget" buy was in 2020 (not bought anything "budget" since then), and that was a pair of Mission MX3s. They were an ex demo pair from Australian retail store JB Hi Fi, and i bought them "blind" for $200 aus. The salesman reckoned that it "would take too long to set them up for a demo". I took them home (after around 1.5 hours of the guy searching for the accessories pack), set them up to my Marantz SR5007 receiver in around 10 minutes and have loved these speakers ever since.
These and the older Cambridge S30’s punched way above their weight. Also back in the day Dennis Murphy had a mod kit for the S30’s before he had the modded Pioneer BS22’s. Great vid as always Andrew!
Thanks for joining us Chris!
I've also heard these speakers I was quite impressed with the overall sound and very affordable.
Great review!!! You sold me on them just bought the pair.
I have SX50s and love them.
I have SX50 and Minx XL bookshelves, love them.
Thanks for adding the Hint 6 in the review equation. It's nice to know if budget speakers can play nice upstream.
Andrew - great reviews as always. What are your views on KEF-R3s?
The amount of these I used to sell at richer sounds great little speaker great review Andrew keep up the hard work and merry Xmas from the uk
thank you so much Adam!
My dad has the SX-50’s and they are awesome as well. Great speakers and Cambridge audio make good gear.
Good to know that. I'm thinking about buying a pair of SX-50.
Thanks for all the great recommendations! I finally pulled the trigger on a technics SU-g700 and sl1500c to revamp my 2channel system and I'm in absolute awe at the design and sound. Your detailed reviews were a huge help 🙏🏻
That's a GREAT set up! Enjoy it!!
You bought WELL Robber. I'd say you just scooped up a forever setup! Enjoy!
Oooo you got the integrated that I'm really curious about. If I'm not mistaken there is a mk2 design that just came out or is already available?
@@erics.4113 You know, I'm not sure if it's available for purchase yet. Sadly, Technics isn't sending it for review so you'll have to read the print mags to find anything out about it.
Great content, as always! Would LOVE a review on the Evo S speakers and how it pairs with the Evo 75 amp
Yeah Ive been looking for a review of these too, can't find one anywhere
I thought I’d found a reason to replace my current speakers (I’m old) until you mentioned needing a sub to go with. Remember Polk 5jr’s? 6 in mid, 6 in bass reflex and tweeter on top? These are still my current pair and they’re showing no signs of laying down. Great review and something to think about for the future.
Great video!!!
Thank you for your work.
Thank you for watching Jose!
Love hearing about budget options that punch above their weight, and appreciate all the comparisons. If I ever swap my soundbar for a 2.1 set up I would want something with high intelligibility, like Kristi I like to have clear dialogue (one character always mutters followed by loud music which bursts your ear drums lol)
Commercials are especially bad offenders when it comes to jumps in volume. Thanks for watching!
Hey Andrew & Kristi. Thanks for another great review. I noticed that you were using the rubber feet on your Solidsteel SS-6 stands rather than the spikes. I just bought a pair of those, and one of the feet was damaged and missing the rubber. When I asked Solidsteel for a replacement, they told me that they were there as shipping protectors and not meant to be feet and that I needed to buy their speaker pads (for an additional $99) and use the spikes. This was confusing since I had seen a video produced by Solidsteel where the owner of the company specifically said they are feet, as well as numerous reviewers like yourself using them as feet. I have soft pine floors in my room so I was planning on using them. The US distributor told me that they aren't sure if they can get me a replacement, which seems odd. I was admittedly snarky with him, but it was a little disappointing after spending a lot on the stands. Don't get me wrong, their obvious overall quality is readily apparent and I absolutely love them, but it left me scratching my head.
First time catching one of your reviews. Well done. I bought a pair for my son for Christmas. One nit to pick. I’ve been at this audio business for about 50 years and have never run into any kind of equipment, electronics, speakers, even cables, that won’t improve with a burn in of at least 24 hours. I wonder if the difference between the 41 Hz spec, and the 50-60 Hz you hear in the demo might, in part, be attributable to that? I’m not used to Cambridge overstating their specs … a conservative company.
You two are correct on speakers my sl-15 cerwin vega surprised many audio phile people hey having good equipment also helps great video
My fav budget piece that I've purchased this year is JBL Stage A130 speakers. They sound good with about every piece of gear I use, and aren't too fussy about the room layout.
I would like to get a feel of a comparison between the JBL stage A130 and these. I think that I will have to hear the 2 of them.
awesome review like always, I was wondering since you liked magnat, could you review the magnat transpulse 1000R? i'm interested in magnat but in smaller size
Can’t beat a speaker bargain gem. I remember buying a pair of Kef Cresta 2s for my younger brother for less than £100 and I loved them.
And free grills, win win..
I had a pair of Cambridge speakers. Cost me 170 bucks in 2007 and they were great. Sold them many years ago but for the price they were very good. Especially with acoustic music.
My personal favorite budget product this year is the x90j. It delivers great performance and fit our space and budget well.
oooh good pick!
Great discussion at the end I felt that Kristy was representing me, I also have problems decoding dialog.
Enjoyed this review, but I beg to differ on the Sony SS-CS5 comment.........I think they sound great in a small room (13'x13'). The Cambridge speakers look a lot like the ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 ($257/pair on Amazon!); a comparison of those two would be interesting..........
Q Acoustics Concept 300s are my favourite bookshelf speakers, although you're really supposed to mount them on those amazing stands. There are so many good bookshelfs under a grand but when you hear the 300s it's a different class.
My short list for soundbar replacement: Cambridge SX-60, Kanto YU 5.24, or Q Acoustics Q3020i.
My buy of the year is my little budget system for my sitting room. SVS Soundbase feeding Cambridge Audio Minx XLs with matching X300 sub. It's WAY better than $1,000 should ever sound. Many similar attributes to what you describe with the SX60s
Great weekend tweaking the home theater speaker setup to accommodate new Sony X90j. Im happy. Moved front and center closer and did room correction to adjust. Wow my speakers were too far away before. And now im enjoying hdr on the video end. May even stream my first movie?
Have fun!! We just watched the new(ish) Marvel movie Ten Rings (or whatever it's called) and it was so much fun!!
@@KristiWright i could go on and on. Also moved my oppo bdp 105 bluray player up to the stereo setup with the newly repaired 1978 Sony StrV5 receiver. The 32 bit sabre ees dacs on the analog output paired with the sony has made cds sound better than ive ever heard. The home theater had the ultra hd player now, and didnt need it anymore. Man. So much testing to do with music and movies. Cheers to you both! Great sunday
Try the Klipsch RP-500m, and/0r Wharfdale Diamond 12.1. I think better all rounder and more balanced than the Klipsch 600m. Feels like smaller woofers make adding a sub an easier integration, if more bass is needed. great review...
Hey, awesome how detailed your 'reviews' are and clearly structured. What's your opinion on the KEF Q350'? Planning to swap my JBL bar 5.1 system for the KEF Q350's to get a more HIFI sound that is better and more real. Connecting it to my Pioneer VSX 516-s. What are your thoughts? :) Cant decide
Great video! Looking forward to trying the SX-60 speakers. Have you tried the Uturn Audio Ethos speakers?
Not yet.
I bought the Jamo S801 powered speakers for my step son and they are fantastic for the price. They are easy to use, can grow with him and sound fantastic. All for $179. Can’t be beat, imo
We're huge fans of Jamo. Glad to know you are enjoying yours.
Great video. Do you think they would be good as front channels of a HO system (on a budget)?
Great Review as always Andrew. I'd Love to hear a review of the Cambridge Audio Minx Package which consists of 5 x Min22 and the X301 Subwoofer. its a compact speaker system that would suit someone who is space poor. Im really keen to hear your opinion of the sound quality especially in regards to the full 5.1setup. Im in the market for a micro system and recently purchased the X201 Sub to replace an older one and really impressed with what it delivers. But haven't seen a review online of this system as a 5.1. Thanks again great content.
Hey Andrew ! Thanks for everything you do. I have a chance to get some klipsch KG4 s . I really am interested in your opinion. Seeing if I could get a quick opinion from you. Thanks !
I agree with what Kristi said about the Klipsch 600m’s. I actually replaced my ones with the 5000f’s which sound much better in every way.
Very nice review of a quality budget speaker. Thank you both. I'm hopeful that the upcoming Hint 6 review will include evaluating it's sound with higher end speakers ( $3-8 k). Additionally, a comparison between the hint 6 vs. Musical Fidelity Ms5 would be ideal ( I know the Ms6 is the actual price equivalent, but with no added features not worth the price increase over the Ms5). I look forward to your evaluation.
Parasound amps are really good - very powerful with some warmth on the top end. Ideal for more forward speakers like Klipsch.
My favorite budget item this year is the Reisong A 10 Amp. Very special!!!
Thanks for answering our QOTD!
I have those speakers with the Cambridge audio subwoofer, works great for me, great video 👍
I bet. I was curious about the sub. It's not the most powerful sub on the market but it looks nice and tidy. Plus, $299 is hard to beat.
@@andrewrobinsonreviews I was blown away by the sub, I have two subs, I use it all for my music and home theater, I bought mine in 2019 for £170.00 for the speakers, £150.00 for the sub, all new, also it looks like Cambridge audio have made cutbacks on the logo, mine are chrome badges, now there just printed on, I think I got the better deal 😀 great video 👍
i really love your "budget" reviews as it allow me to go into hifi without breaking the bank. I just didnt know that there are so many good options on the budget realm
There are MORE affordable options than there are high-end ones in my opinion.
We have an entire playlist dedicated to Budget gear. Catch up on anything you've missed here: th-cam.com/play/PL0M9xqvUDwdxizrQVGYr2giwb_sL4fnht.html
I really want that jazz art in the background lol
Great review!
I have the same issue as Kristi…always asking my wife “what did they say?”. In fact we usually keep the closed caption on :(
However...Lumina 1s to the rescue. Ordered them a week ago. Those with a sub I’m hoping will do the trick.
Great review......simple and uncomplicated.......KISS method!!
We try to keep it simple and approachable. Appreciate you watching!
The Sony STR-DN1080 av receiver was my best buy for 2021👍👍
How is the music audio quality on that receiver in your opinion?
Can’t wait for the Parasound Hint 6 review!!!
My favorite budget product that I picked up this year was the loxjie a30 amp. That little thing really blew my mind at its price. Last year, the Sound Artist SA 200IA integrated amp.
Thanks for answering our QOTD!
Hello Andrew and kristi. Just wondering if you’ve checked out emotivas airmotiv t2+ speakers yet? If so hopefully you can do a review on them. I’m considering getting those or SVS prime towers. What do you guys think? Thank you for the awesome content as always
Nice review ... I think a lot of people don't buy speakers from primarily audio amp manufacturers because they think they don't know how to make good ones. Yamaha, Onkyo, Sony all make decent speakers but none are really known for them.
One aside note, I hope one day you can review the HECO bookshelves at $399/pair. Been interested in them since your tower review and I think those bookshelves might be something special. Of course they are not available for months now.
I’ve got two SX-60s plumbed into my new Bluesound Powernode, system sounds fabulous to me, but I’m no expert. Ordered the Cambridge Sub-woofer yesterday, I’m interested in what difference a sub will make, if any. Really wish Bluesound made a nice smooth volume knob, that’s my only gripe.
Great review! Question for Kristi: Do you prefer the SX-60 over the Monitor Audio Bronze 100s?
These are close IMO but the Bronze have more bass. If I wanted to build a home theater system, I’d get the MA. Otherwise, I’d be more than happy with these.
Have you ever listened to HSU subwoofers and bookshelf speakers? I have looked at your library of content, I haven't seen anything on Marantz receivers. And also, where do you put the Reference R-26FA Dolby Atmos Floor standing Speakers in reference to others in their class.
Klipsch RP-600M's as I have had a year with them as my rear hieght's and they great!
Hey Andrew,, hope u doing well,,
Do u planning to give is a summary of Top 10 of floor standing speakers or speakers in general for the year of 2021,,
I'll be very appreciated if we have ur feedback as a list of top 10
Great speakers indeed. Very balanced from the first listen. Easy on the ear, good very good bass, transparent and neutral mids with no boxiness at all.
And very three dimensional in terms of deep soundstage.
What could be better? Bass could be more musical keeping the great punch it already has, midrange could have more body and be more colorful especially in violins flutes etc. But then, maybe we would go to an upper category, I think
Great video. Good sound doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Now for something off topic. At 2:30 mark in this video, shown on the TV was a picture of a jazz musician. Any info on that pic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
We used an app for the art in this video. If you hit pause, you should be able to see the artist's name.
I'm curious how you would compare these to the Wharfedale Evo 4.1s.
Very nice review, good product fair price in time for Christmas shopping. Would be interested how you think they compare to elac unifi 2.0... which as of now are my fav for $500pr. Emotiva b1 are my fav under 300pr.
Fantastic content!
Thank you David!
Thanks, David!
Awesome review.
Appreciate that, Francesco!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews Thanks for the great content.
How would you compare this speaker to the ELAC, unify 2.0?
Good morning. I have watched many, many of your reviews and enjoy them very much. If you could, please provide a very brief opinion on the pairing of the following equipment. I am considering purchasing them as soon as I see a price dip. Your opinion would mean so much to me. Thank you - Tom
1: Yamaha A-S701SL integrated amp
2: Elac -Debut Reference DBR62 speakers
Sounds like this speaker needs to be compared to the Monolith B6 model. Size and price are in the same neighborhood. Let's see who can pick that VS up for the consumers. Thanks for this review
I just ran across a Emotiva video from 7 years ago that had you in it. Now I understand. This begs the question why there are no Emotiva products in your system. Maybe I just missed those videos as I'm a recent watcher of your content.
We have reviewed Emotiva twice this year. (TA1 and the BasX)
how do they compare to the jbl Studio 530, OR STAGE a190 ? Ty Andrew.
Would you recommend them for side and rear surround use? Close to the walls. I have Kef Q350/650C as fronts but want something cheaper for surrounds.
For surround duty these would totally work. You may even consider the smaller and cheaper SX50s.
Would be great to see your review of the Emotiva B1+ a budget bookshelf speaker with a ribbon tweeter. Thanks.
I owned this pair and sounds awesome. Paired it with yamaha wxa50. Any other suggestions if wan to upgrade the amp?
So happy to know you are enjoying these! You'll find a list of amps that we paired with these speakers in the description. Any of them would be great options.
How would you compare it with the RSL CG5 speakers?
Well, before it went tits up, the Boyuu Yulu M2 single ended EL-34 tube intergrated would have been my choice. For just a bit north of $200 with shipping, it made magic with the Tekton Mini Lores(which themselves are a bargain but maybe not a full budget item). I’m almost tempted to give the nod to the Focusrite Scarlett series of audio interfaces. In fact I’m more than tempted, that’s my budget pick.
I have the Scarlett 8i6(I needed the spdif in)but you could go with whatever model suits your needs. What you get is a very nice sounding Dac, an ADC for digitizing your analog sources, multiple analog and digital ins and outs(depending on model), headphone amp(kinda meh to me but ymmv)all switchable and volume controlled. It would be a fine hifi preamp/DAC as long as you had a computer as a source. The 8i6 currently retails for $299.
Hi, do you think the SX60 speakers are better than the KEF Q350?
great vid
Thank you so much, J DeKong! We appreciate you watching.
Got the focal chora 806s bundled with the uniti atom for probably less than 700! Loving it!
WOW! Score! Enjoy it!
No idea how you managed to do that but nice grab!
My favourite budget product is the Wharfedale Lintons, (although they are probably a last years product). I think the build quality is outstanding for the money. BTW what happened to that hinted at Wharfedale Linton review Andrew?
Will you review some nubert speakers? For example the powered X4000 RC or even X6000/x8000rc?
Great review as always you guys 👍. A question, for a person that likes the "warmer" sound would you choose these or the Wharfedale Evo 4.2?
The Wharfedale Evos will be fuller and more balanced top to bottom.
@@andrewrobinsonreviews Thanks. I just love the Evo design. I have the 4.3s as front speakers (great sounding) and I am thinking of getting the 4.2s for surround. Want to be able to enjoy great sound without waking the kids 😀
The Songbird is my pick
Ok I'm trusting you two on this. I don't expect much at this price point but I just blew 400.00 on a pair of Polk's that are so shrill and fatiguing that I'm giving them away because I feel guilty asking for money. I'm sure these will sound a little better at least.
Any word on the EVO S speakers? Is it double plus good? It’s double the price.
Andrew please could you compare a set of PSB Alpha P5 loudspeakers to these and others.They get a Stereophile award.Having heard them I was impressed,but I would love to know what you guys think of them.Would be greatly appreciated.Thank you and keep well.
Interesting video! I've always loved Cambridge products. I think they recently released their flagship speakers the Evo S, which are relatively affordable, at $750. But, strangely, online reviews on those are virtually non-existent. I would gladly give them a try if my home didn't already look like a hi-fi store lol
I saw the Evo S too, and I'm not sure (don't hold me to this) if they're in the US yet? But they look like mildly more upscale versions of the SX-60.
@@andrewrobinsonreviews I'm not even sure either. In any case, I hope sooner or later you can get your hand on them!
i am thinking of getting the sx-600 or the Focal Sib Evo 2.0 200W. Which would you recommend? (great videos btw)
Not familiar enough with the Focals to say.
