If you donate to the forum at any level, I will buy and test it. :)
I donated Amir. I would love for you to test the T50. I will send you one if you want. They are such a good sounding speaker to me and I have had much,much more expensive ones.

Cambridge Audio Minx XL Flagship Speakers.

$150 factory refurbished. Incredible fit and finish for the money. 50Hz - 22 kHz freq. response.

Given the great company reputation, could these $150 speakers give the $1600 Dynaudio Evoke 10s a run for their money?

Stereo.de has some super basic measurements. It seems that room modes dominate in them, but performance seems curiously comparable. Small dip between 2-3kHz and higher top end are the biggest differences.

CAMBRIDGE

And to further make my case, here are some super quick in-room measurements comparing the Evoke 10s to Revel M16s.

And, importantly, it looks as good or better than the Dynaudio X14 reviewed here. So, in a way, for me this speaker is as much about the latter company as it is about Cambridge Audio.

If I didn't have a pair of SP-BS22-LRs to play around with, I would have already sent these in to Amir.

Thanks Mike. Please start a conversation with me on how you donated so I can keep track of it. Meanwhile, I ordered it from Amazon because shipping cost will be a lot relative to its cost.

PIONEER DJ VM-50

Tweeter :1-inch (25 mm) SILK soft dome
Woofer :5.25-inch (133 mm) ARAMID cone
Amplifier Output :Class D with 96kHz DSP - LF: 30 W / 4 Ω - HF: 30 W / 4 Ω
Frequency Range 40 Hz - 36 kHz Hz
Maximum Sound Pressure 107 dB

I'm curious how they managed to get so low hertz...the price is 190€ unit!
So it would be a good opportunity for measurement.

I’ll boost my contribution to $50. So if anyone wants one, that’s at least $50 less :)

I'm confused, would you donate the $50 Amir? Or donate $50 to whomever purchases to send to Amir?

If I was interested in the A1.5 as well to get tested, how would that go?

$50 to the purchaser (so a $50 incentive to send it in for review, and to help offset the cost to ship it from Amir to you once he is done). Venmo/Zelle/etc.

I really want to see the measurements (for my own curiosity as well as when I need to give recommendations).

PM @amirm to get his shipping details and logistics worked out. Easiest/cheapest would be to drop-ship to him (use his shipping address for the order).

I drop-shipped him my RS152, and he returned it well packed.

If someone else is going to put $50 in there as well for $100, I'll do it. I'm thinking of getting it to fill out my HT anyways. Will PM Amir.

Edit: sorry, meant since someone else is putting more, I'll do it. Done and done. Stay tuned?
