Cambridge Audio Minx S215 - anyone heard them?

[heisthegaffer]

Dear all

With a new addition to the family (a child) who'll no doubt one day be trying to 'play' with my floorstanders, I'm thinking about making the move to a satellite kit. I like the look and size of these but not heard them. Has anyone on here heard them? Are they okay?

isn't Cambridge Audio just cheap junk that Richer Sound bash out as an own brand?

I have this set up from my surround sound, with a double size speaker for my centre, little sub punches well above it's weight, excellent imho Yamaha amp I got calibrated the speaker's to your room, I love them. Come with a two year warranty too. Go to richer sounds and have a listen.

Some of its good, really good considering its price, but yes, some of it is also junk.

They have a reasonable engineering dept in the UK (used to be in Southwark, now in Cambridge I believe). I think they might take exception to the above...

No. Go read some reviews of their newer setups like the Minx 525 etc, they get good reviews. Unless you consider £1k cheap junk?
