Yes indeed. Cambridge Audio was a different company to IMF.I do not think these were IMF but only a related DIY design. I built a pair of these way back when but preferred the IMF cabinets with the same drivers.
Yes and I need to clarify a bit more.Yes indeed. Cambridge Audio was a different company to IMF.
Ah sorry yes my mistake they are the R50.Yes and I need to clarify a bit more.
1. The Cambridge was call the R50, not the A50. I bought a pair of these for my late brother-in-law at a ridiculous price and he used them for decades until his passing. Before I gave them to him I tried to tweak them but ended up leaving the standard config. I assessed them side-by-side with my own IMF-based system (same drivers, different XO) based on notes from John Wright and constructed like the RSPM (Reference Standard Professional Monitor) but with the external enclosures for the mid/high drivers as in the SACM (Special Application Control Monitor). They were really good and at the price we paid ($500/pair), they were killers.
2. The DIY version of the Cambridge went by another classic name which escapes me now. It was smaller than even the R50 and more like the R40.

It is.Could be the Kef B139 mk2 polystyrene woofer:
Nice to see inside photos of the amazing Genelec speakers.
On the strength of this photograph, I'd have to agree it appears to be optimistically priced (i.e., from the perspective of its manufacturer).the latest overpriced speaker (€6000) from dynaudio, "heritage special"
