Cambridge Audio Minx Min 22 - Compact Wired Satellite Speaker Featuring BMR Speaker Technology - Includes Keyhole Bracket for Discreet and Easy Wall Mounting - White

These are fantastic little speakers. We have these mounted high on walls in our bedroom. They provide excellent response in the mid-to high frequency ranges. As you would expect, bass is lacking, but this is solved with the addition of a subwoofer. At this point, the speakers have been installed for a couple of years and have worked flawlessly. They fill the bedroom with sound. While I wouldn't use these for our main system (much larger room), they do work well in a moderately-sized space.

With almost zero broke in I’m blown away. These 2 1/4” speakers put out some sound! Do they get low? No, rated for 120hz. You’re going to need a sub, but muh goodness the clarity on these things. I was looking to upgrade my Logitech speakers. I thought these came as a pair, and I wish I wouldn’t have hooked this up. I couldn’t unhear what I just heard. Now how do I put it back in the box? It’s not even a fancy amp, it’s a Logitech Z906, and I wanted more clarity out of the center, check that box!

When used in the right application, these satellite speakers are the best small speakers that I have heard. The drawback (if one can call it that) is you need to use a bass module or subwoofer to augment the lower frequencies under 150-120 Hz but the midrange is where these speakers shine.A word regarding the Min 22 versus the previous models (Min 20 & Min 21). This is a 3rd generation Minx Model that uses a 4th generation 2 1/4" BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) used as the top driver and a long throw woofer as used in the previous Min 21 for the bottom driver. Cambridge Audio claims (as in the previous generation Min 21) this top BMR had been updated. If, like me, you have gone from using the Min 20 to the Min 21 and remember the difference you heard, you're in for a real treat when you upgrade to the Min 22. First off, if you can believe it, you are going to hear more coverage (Dispersion). I know you're wondering. How can I hear more dispersion when the Min 20 & 21 had pretty good coverage already? Well, this new speaker's dispersion is so much improved, it covers a wider area more evenly. A good test when comparing the Min 22 to the previous models is this. If you listen to a lot of stereo music like me, you will notice an increase in surroundedness when you listen to many of your favorite music tracks. The Min 20 & 21 were pretty good at this already but it's like you are listening with your rear surround speakers on when they are emitting no sound at all. The other things you will notice is the sound is quite a bit smoother in the upper most frequencies that previously had an edge, vocals and midrange, in general, are more pronounced, a deeper / wider soundstage and the separation between instruments let you hear into the music more, being able to pick individual sounds out better.I purchased these speakers the first week of July and have been playing them constantly with music, movies and tv. In the past week alone, I've heard an even greater improvement in smoothness and separation. I will say that I was very hesitant upgrading from my previous Minx Min models because I wasn't so sure there would be this much improvement. I'm happy to say, I'm so glad I did! Congratulations to the design team at Cambridge Audio for their perseverance on improving an already great little loudspeaker. :)

These speakers are much better than any Bose speaker. They are definitely worth the money.

I wanted a passive speaker to use near PC monitor while I work. I ordered a black pair, and received one speaker in white. Before sending it back to exchanged for what I ordered, I hooked it up to check the sound. It was awful. Distorted with no clarity. It was rattling/buzzing while not over driven. It was unlistenable. Hopefully it is defective. Not a good impression. I returned the next day and ask for my money back. I'm glad I bought from Amazon with the no hassle returns. The speaker is Not worth the money. I give it zero for 'value for the money'

Decent sound for small speaker. Compared side by side to Bose jewel cube , 1) Bose mid to high freq sounded more precise . 2) Low freq slightly better but not noticeable . 3) Space saving is good . Overall need a sub woofer to have better audible experience for complete range of listening . Tested with ghost in shell by kenji kawai , Vivaldi summer various Linkin Park

Great little speakers. Crisper sound than my expensive yamahas.

I already had 3 of these Min 22 speakers in an older 5.1.2 Atmos setup. However, I moved to a new home that didn't already have in ceiling speakers. So I bought 4 more of these to get my 5.1.2 Atmos system back up and running. Build quality and finish are excellent. These little guys put out an amazing sound for such a small speaker. Note that they will not play exceptionally loud in a large room, nor will they produce any real bass to speak of on their own; they need to be paired with a good quality subwoofer. The color matches my living room décor so it definitely complements the room. Would in-ceiling and in-wall speakers been a better décor friendly choice? Absolutely. But I didn't want to spend a bunch of (wasted) money on running wires in the walls (would have been difficult & expensive). The speakers are unobtrusive and look good. And I now have matching speakers all around, so no issues with sound/timbre differences. Recommended.
