S30 Bookshelf Speaker
The stylish and punchy S30 heralds Cambridge Audio's loudspeaker revival. The R50 and R70 were highly regarded speakers in the 1970s and like its forbears, the new S30 offers excellent depth and soundstage yet extraordinary value for money.
Designed from the ground-up, the S30 is a delicately revealing speaker which is the perfect partner to Cambridge Audio's array of electronics products, working particularly well with the mid range Azur series for the perfect budget package...Read more

"Is the S30 a nice speaker for the money? More than that!"
Netherlands, September 2012
A 4.5" composite woven driver delivers a powerful yet controlled bass performance while offering extremely low distortion and excellent dispersion of higher frequencies.
This is matched to a soft-dome tweeter featuring a neodymium driver with a state-of-the-art motor system and a critically selected voice coil assembly.
By virtue of a purist mechanical design, a simple first order crossover is capable of perfectly controlling high and low frequency distribution. This custom designed component features audiophile grade polypropylene capacitors and enables the S30 to be bi-wired for greater bass control, crisper treble and improved detail.
The ported cabinet design is braced and stiffened for minimum movement and features a neat terminal panel with three-way gold plated bullet connectors.
Finished in dark oak or noir, the S30 is supplied with a complementary grille.

"Is the S30 a nice speaker for the money? More than that!"
Netherlands, September 2012
"Forget what the same money spent on a micro-system will buy you, the Cambridge system is authentic hi-fi. It sounds punchy and attacking, and has the sort of natural, fluent musicality that will have you coming back for more."
UK, June 2009
"Fantastic small loudspeaker, which is recommended with its expansive stereo imaging and is ideal for constricted spaces."
Germany, July 2008
"A speaker of the highest order which is why we make this recommendation wholeheartedly"
Netherlands, April 2008
"Sublime value for money, the S30s deliver a solid, even performance that belies their price tag."
UK, April 2008

UK, December 2007
"... these pack a punch well beyond their compact size. A pocket rocket of a speaker."
UK, November 2007
"I realized even before going back to my seat that I was wrong in thinking the sound from this speaker would be merely fair, and smiled..."
