And the speaker PSB Image B4? Is it at the same level of Cambridge, NHT and KEF?
I'm from Brazil and I'm going to USA next month to buy these speakers. I have just two days to do that.
That should be a nice trip - PSB is a good one and the others too.
The Cambridge draws me into the music, and not to the speakers.
They almost floored me - due to their musical sound, based on price
and size. To me, the bass and midrange detail at this price point, is
hard to beat. And, the bass will play down low and is tight, and more
than a one note sound. They throw a good soundstage, and do have
good imaging. I am paying less attention to the speakers, and more
to the music and movies being played when, I do listen to them. My
favorite speaker did list for $1000 more, than the Cambridge - and
yes, the Cambridge can not compete with them. However at $219, I
have not heard anything from $500 down, that will trump it. Note - I
also do understand that the S30, is not for everybody. They do have
a some what forward and lively sound character, that will turn some
people off. And, I do not claim that they are perfect - however, the
presentation can be captivating and that is what I look for, from the
speakers at this price point.
The choice is yours and I will not tell you hands down, which one you
you should buy. This is my take on the Cambridge. They and Mordaunt
Short, are owned by the same company.
