Cambridge Audio - L/R S - Compact Active Stereo Speakers (Pair)

The Cambridge Audio L/R S speakers are built for listeners who want proper stereo sound from a compact, no-nonsense active system. Designed to sit comfortably on desks, shelves, or small media units, they bring a sense of scale and balance that far exceeds their footprint. The focus here is on clean design, straightforward usability, and musical engagement rather than feature overload. For smaller rooms or nearfield listening, the L/R S feels purposeful and well judged.

Each speaker in the L/R S system uses an active architecture with amplification matched directly to its drivers, allowing tighter control over dynamics and tonal balance than passive alternatives. This design approach supports a clear midrange, controlled bass for its size, and a smooth high end that avoids harshness during long sessions. Multiple input options make it easy to connect common sources such as computers, turntables with built-in phono stages, or external streamers, giving the speakers flexibility without unnecessary complexity. The tuning favors natural presentation and coherence, making vocals sound grounded and instruments well defined rather than exaggerated. Everything about the system is geared toward reliable, everyday listening with minimal setup and consistent performance.

"BEST ACTIVE SPEAKERS: Cambridge Audio is best known for making HiFi amplifiers and receivers, but the venerated British brand is betting big on powered speakers. There are three new models, all with strikingly modern designs. The cabinet features built-in lights and passive radiators on the side of the speaker, plus a double woofer design with one in front and one underneath. In short, these are not your average bookshelf speakers. The three models range from mid-sized and compact bookshelf speakers to a small desktop speaker..." ~ Rolling Stone Magazine, 2026

The L/R S speakers are an ideal choice for compact spaces where sound quality still matters. They deliver a refined, musically satisfying experience without demanding additional components or large footprints. For users seeking a small active stereo pair that feels thoughtfully engineered and genuinely enjoyable to listen to, the L/R S offers a simple, confident solution grounded in Cambridge Audio’s hi-fi heritage.
