I recently sold my Triangle Borea 03’s due to space limitations and began searching for a compact replacement that could work on a bookshelf. Knowing that smaller speakers wouldn’t deliver the deepest bass, I added to my system a Dayton Audio low-profile subwoofer. The sub arrived first, and even with some older Dayton speakers, it immediately made a huge positive impact. Still, I knew those older speakers weren’t a long-term solution. When the SX-50s finally arrived, I set them up right away—and was blown away. The natural presentation of vocals, the clarity of piano, and the lifelike tone of horns were simply amazing. With the SX-50’s and Dayton sub working together, the sound easily surpassed what I was getting from the Borea 03’s on their own. To be fair, if I had the proper space, the Boreas would likely outperform the SX-50’s overall. But in my small room, the Boreas never got the chance to shine—while the SX-50’s truly do. They excel with vocals, bringing singers forward with warmth, detail, and realism. In short: if you’re limited on space and especially love voices and acoustic instruments, the Cambridge Audio SX-50’s are a stunning choice. For their size, they might just be the best speakers I’ve ever heard for vocals! Review: A Natural Sound for a Great Price - Over the past few years, I've been wanting a clear, natural sound for my desktop. I've heard speakers from Wharfedale, Klipsch, Bowers & Wilkins, and many others. But these $200 speakers from Cambridge Audio may just be my favorite of them all. With these speakers, I used the Aiyima A07 amp and Topping E30 DAC, which are connected to my Windows 10 PC. I played music through Spotify Premium. My go-to genres are rock, heavy metal, and country. NOTE: Due to the acoustics in my room, I did use EQ to remove certain peaks in the bass response. Regardless of what speakers I use, they always pop up. I did not EQ the mids and treble. -- BASS: The bass does roll-off after 50Hz; so a subwoofer may be desirable for some. Mid-bass is present, but it is not overbearing and does not bleed into the mids. Overall, the bass is the weakest part of the SX-50, but still not bad for a small bookshelf speaker. MIDS: I desire a great midrange more than anything else. Thankfully, this is where the SX-50's shine. Instruments and vocals come up and center, and sound organic. There is no metallic or plasticky tone to them. Probably the best mids I've heard from a speaker so far. TREBLE: I love the treble on these. It is smooth and inoffensive. It is slightly on the dark side, so those who want a exciting, bright sound should ignore these. There is no sharpness whatsoever. Air is present, but isn't prominent. -- If you are looking for a natural sound on a budget, I wholeheartedly recommend the Cambridge Audio SX-50, or SX-60, with a sub. There is no need to purchase thousands of dollars worth of speakers, when these exist. ## Features - ✔ SOUND-FIRST DESIGN – The SX-50 speakers provide stunning sound for stereo and home theater in small to medium rooms.

My wife and I have always loved them. By comparison, these SX-50 speakers sound just a little bit better. We did a side by side comparison. The SX-50's sound a little bit louder, for the same volume setting, and a little brighter (more treble). Overall these sound a bit more dynamic, fuller, and more exciting. The S30's by comparison are just a bit dull. Both speakers are a bit lacking in Bass. Of course you are not going to get super deep bass with a small 5.25" woofer, and in such a small package. But it helps if you are close to the speakers, or if the room is small. And it helped when we put them on a flat surface, such as a fireplace mantle. That gave them a little better bass. Overall I am very happy with the nice Audiophile sound from these SX-50s for only $239.00. You could spend way way more on speakers of course. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cambridge Audio SX-50 Bookshelf Speaker | 100 Watt Home Theater Compact Speaker Pair (Matte Black) - GearIT 14 AWG Speaker Cable with Banana Plugs 14Ga Banana Wire for Bi-Wire Bi-Amp HiFi Surround Sound --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/233190655-sx-50-bookshelf](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/233190655-sx-50-bookshelf) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
