About the Cambridge Audio SX-60
Remarkable clarity and power from compact speakers
Remarkable clarity and power from compact speakers
Whether you're listening to Beethoven, playing video games, or settling in for your favorite film, Cambridge Audio's SX-60 bookshelf speakers will deliver them with all with the power and clarity they deserve. Use the SX-60s in a stereo music setup or as front or surround speakers in a home theater system, and prepare to be impressed by their warm, full-bodied sound. Just add the Minx X300 powered subwoofer for a complete, full-range system.
Carefully engineered drivers for musical sound
Unlike some compact speakers which can sound shrill or fatiguing, each SX-60 uses a 1" silk soft dome tweeter for smooth, detailed highs. The tweeter's foam damper helps reduce reflections and increase soundstage depth for a truly spacious, room-filling experience. The 6-1/2" custom designed mid/woofer delivers accurate midrange and powerful, yet controlled bass with minimal distortion.
The SX-60's solidly braced MDF cabinets are computer-designed to help minimize standing waves and prevent unwanted resonance from coloring the sound. Heavy-duty, gold-plated binding posts make it easy to connect the high-quality speaker wire of your choice for top-notch performance.

Features
1" Silk Dome Tweeter: The Cambridge Audio SX-60 bookshelf loudspeakers feature a 1" silk dome tweeter that combines a soft, smooth sound with high levels of detail. A dedicated foam damper behind the tweeter reduces reflections and increases sound stage depth for a truly spacious, room-filling experience where you can pick out every instrument.
6.5" Treated Paper Cone Woofer: The SX-60 bookshelf speakers employ a custom-designed 6.5" midbass driver with a treated paper cone for a smooth and even frequency response. High power, efficient woofer magnets deliver deep bass without putting stress on your amp.
Optimized Crossover Network: The SX-60 uses a precisely optimized crossover between the woofer and tweeter that gives the smoothest and most linear response.
Rigid Bass Reflex Enclosure: The Cambridge Audio SX-60 bookshelf speakers feature a rigid MDF cabinet, expert designed to minimize standing waves and deliver deeper, tighter bass response. The enclosure employs a front-firing port for improved efficiency and bigger bass output.
Binding Posts: The Cambridge Audio SX-60 bookshelf loudspeakers are equipped with a set of binding post terminals. The binding post terminals will accept bare-wire (up to 10AWG), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and banana-plugs (dual or single). The terminals are color-coded (black/red) to distinguish between positive and negative.
Applications: The Cambridge Audio SX-60 bookshelf loudspeakers are ideal for stereo and home theater applications in smaller rooms.
Placement: Ideally the speakers and listening position should be located equal distances apart. The speakers should also be placed at ear level. In addition, the speaker should be positioned at least 2" away from the back wall. If the speakers are placed on a desk or close to a wall, the bass may become too strong. The included foam inserts will reduce the bass output when inserted into the speakers' ports.
Mounting Options: The Cambridge Audio SX-60 bookshelf loudspeakers include 8 self-adhesive foam-feet (4 each) to simply place the speakers securely on a desk, table, shelf, or speaker stand securely and safely. The foam feet add approximately 0.125" to the height of the speakers.The optional PinPoint AM41B heavy duty side-grip wall-mounting bracket (sold separately) can be used to wall mount the speakers.

Great little speakers. Sound is crisp and clear. I play mostly vinyl and I really like the sound. These fit perfectly on my bookshelves and I like the walnut wood grain - goes well with my mid century mod shelving
