Overview The Cambridge Audio SX50 is a compact two-way bookshelf speaker built for smaller listening spaces. It pairs a 5.25-inch (135mm) treated paper cone woofer with a 1-inch (25mm) silk dome tweeter in a rigid MDF cabinet, using a rear bass reflex port to extend low-end weight. With an 8 ohm nominal impedance, 87dB sensitivity and a 50Hz–22kHz frequency response, it delivers detailed, balanced stereo from modest amplification. Why This Model Matters The SX50 is the entry point into Cambridge Audio's SX loudspeaker range, distilling the brand's British hi-fi tuning into an affordable standmount. Its computer-modelled MDF enclosure keeps cabinet coloration low, so voices and instruments stay natural. Rated for amplifiers from 10 to 100 watts, it is an easy match for compact integrated amps and receivers.
