Review: Tiny Little Box, BIG Sound! - It seems odd to be praising a subwoofer for filling a room with deep, rich bass - after all, that’s the subwoofer’s one and only job. But in most cases, the device responsible for producing that bass is a big, unwieldy box, which takes up more space than it really should, and is an eyesore. Cambridge Audio has figured out how to scale down that big ugly box, and still deliver very pleasing bass performance. I had a particularly challenging sonic “problem” to solve, as you can see from the photos… It is a large but not gigantic space (my living room / dining room area, with the vaulted ceiling, and loft above). I have a pair of built-in main speakers, about 1 story up from the floor. Being so high off the floor, the physically small mid-bass drivers in the wall speakers just weren’t cutting it, in terms of bass. To make it even more challenging, the layout of the room only presented a few very small places where I could potentially tuck in a sub discretely; the sub would need to be tiny, compared to other subs, but still deliver a big enough sound to fill the space. Definitely a challenge. Being an acoustic suspension design, the Minx X201 can get away with using a much smaller cabinet than the ported subs, which is definitely heading in the right direction for my particular use case. Because the cabinet is sealed air tight, the Minx X201 produces bass that is “tight” and well controlled, rather than the rumbling, imprecise bass you tend to get from many ported subs. The best part about that sealed cabinet design, however, is that it allows the Minx X201 to employ a pair of 6.5” passive radiators, in addition to its 6.5” powered driver. The end result is bass frequencies that emanate across a wide, 270 degree field, from this tiny sub, giving you a nice mix of both direct and reflected bass, that fills the room. My sub is not optimally placed, because I wanted to keep it as concealed from view as possible. Yes, it’s along a wall, but it’s not very close to the corner (subs tend to deliver the most bass when you put them in a corner). Still, despite the less-than-ideal placement, it sounds great. You just wouldn’t think such big bass could come from such a small box. But when you add up the total surface area of all 3 of its cones, it makes sense - the Minx X201 is capable of moving a surprisingly large amount of air, for its tiny size. It definitely punches above its weight. I added the Minx X201 to my existing 2 channel, music-only system, which I play at low to moderate volume levels. This system provides soft background music when I entertain or when I’m lounging around on the main level of my home. For TV and movies, I have a big home theater system in my basement. So, the Minx X201’s frequency response, which “only” hits 36hz at the bottom end, is still very ample for this kind of light duty. My main speakers in the room (Polk Audio 265RT) are moderately sized, and the Minx X201 produces bass that blends well and is “in character” with the sound from those wall speakers. If you paired the Minx X201 with giant reference quality tower speakers, it would probably be quite deficient. Similarly, if I put a big, brutish 12” or 15” sub in my living room, with bass that goes down to 18hz (below the range that the human ear can even hear), it too would probably be way out of character for those modest wall speakers. Before you buy, you really need to give thought to the main speakers, with which you will be pairing the Minx X201; both the sub and the main speakers should be comparable, and of the same general caliber or class. If one seriously out-performs the other, the result will be a mismatch, and sound that just isn’t smooth. The goal is to seamlessly blend the sub with your main speakers, without any telltale (audible) signs that you’re even using a sub. When set properly, the continuously variable crossover, phase, and level adjustments on the Minx X201 will keep its location within the room sonically “hidden” from the listener. The one area for improvement I would suggest to Cambridge Audio is offering a wireless version for the Minx X201. My receiver and sub are on two different levels of my home, so a wired installation was not an option here. There aren’t a ton of choices, when it comes to ultra-compact, wireless subs at this time. Fortunately, there are aftermarket wireless subwoofer kits, which can be had. I read a lot of reviews on various kits, and quickly deduced that if you intend to use one of these, don’t go cheap! I ended up getting the SVS SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter, which was very easy to install and the sub has worked perfectly. Yes, it would have been nice to get a sub with this capability already embedded, but it really is a standout in so many other ways, that having to add the wireless capability after-the-fact was not the end of the world for me - it’s just one more piece I had to try and hide, since space is at a premium. Despite the unique challenges of my environment (both acoustically and in terms of limited space to hide a sub), I am pleasantly surprised by how well the Minx X201 has performed for me… And that enables me to confidently say the following to you: if you have a more “normal” size/shape room than I do, with similar grade (bookshelf or built-in) main speakers, the Minx X201 is going to perform superbly for you. It is a delightful little sub!
Review: Amazing Compact Subwoofer - Why I bought it: this was the only compact high-end subwoofer that would fit in the cabinet I have. Why I love it: the control and sound is absolutely amazing for a 6.5" sub. More details: I have this paired with two Monitor Audio Radis 45 front speakers. They're tiny and really need bass support. The subwoofer itself is connected to the "sub out" connection on my receiver. I have the phase set to 0 and I have the crossover cutoff aligned with the Radius 45 (they have little icons to help you make a good estimate if you aren't familiar with cross-over frequencies). I've found the volume has to be turned up a bit on the high side. I LOVE that this package comes with this level of control to customize the sound if you need/want to. I have the sub sitting inside a cabinet - doors open when using it. The sound is deep and punchy. It really fills out a room and performs very well with small main speakers. It of course won't make your windows rattle or your clothes vibrate - it's not like a club speaker. But it will make music and movies (and TV in general) sound rich and full. Smooth and not boomy. Bottom line - if you are looking to add deep depth to smaller main speakers - look no further.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small enough to hide away, nice enough to display
*by C***R on February 6, 2020*

Delivered on time. Light weight, small footprint able to put on a shelf and put a smile on the wife's face as I took the old big clunker woofer away. Has a clean black mirror finish and dials and switches all feel very well constructed. All adjustment dials turn with incremental clicks. One complaint I have is the device was delivered from a U.S. company to a U.S. customer with a European power cord. I called Cambridge Audio and once giving the service rep upc code she mailed me the proper power cord. Cambridge Audio had great customer service. Subwoofer sounds good and meets my modest needs in a family room
