Advanced Acoustic Loudspeakers

Cambridge Audio’s L/R Series is a family of active, streaming capable speakers offered in three sizes, L/R X, L/R M, and L/R S, designed to provide high fidelity sound with simplified connectivity and room aware tuning. Each model integrates amplification and digital signal processing with bespoke driver arrangements, including a 28 mm tweeter on the X and M and a 21 mm tweeter on the S, plus multi‑woofer layouts and force cancelling radiators. Cambridge Audio specifies model specific power outputs, with the X rated at 2 × 400 W, the M at 2 × 150 W, and the S at 2 × 50 W, and the range incorporates DynamEQ to preserve bass weight and clarity at low listening levels. The speakers are driven by StreamMagic Gen4 streaming software, which supports high resolution network playback and ongoing feature updates, and the product finishes and cabinet geometry are presented to integrate acoustically and visually into domestic spaces.

From a connectivity and positioning perspective, the L/R Series targets users seeking an all in one speaker system that reduces component count while retaining flexibility for external sources. The lineup supports Wi Fi and Ethernet, Bluetooth aptX HD, HDMI eARC, and analog inputs, and the X and M models include a built in phono stage for turntable connection. Cambridge Audio lists MSRPs of $2,299 for the L/R X, $1,599 for the L/R M, and $549 for the L/R S, framing the series as accessible high fidelity hardware that requires minimal setup. Prospective buyers should consider room size relative to model selection, the value of integrated streaming and phono functionality for existing systems, and the trade offs between an active single box approach and separates in terms of upgradability and serviceability.
