Cambridge Audio has unveiled three new active bookshelf speakers, dubbed as L/R Series, at this year's CES. The flagship model is the L/R X, which boasts a whopping 800W of power per speaker, making it the largest and most expensive option in the lineup.
Priced at $2,299, the L/R X features an impressive 2.5-way acoustic design, complete with a 28mm Torus tweeter and dual 5-inch woofers, as well as a pair of force-canceling passive radiators. It also comes equipped with Wi-Fi streaming capabilities via Cambridge Audio's StreamMagic app and LED underlighting for added aesthetic appeal.
Sitting in the middle of the lineup is the L/R M, priced at $1,599, which shares the same acoustic design principles as its flagship counterpart but with significantly reduced power output. Although it's a more affordable option, it still packs a punch with 300W per speaker and Wi-Fi streaming capabilities.
The smallest and most budget-friendly option in the lineup is the L/R S, priced at $549, which uses a 21mm hard-dome tweeter and a 3-inch long-throw woofer. While it's the cheapest option, it misses out on Wi-Fi streaming capabilities in favor of Bluetooth aptX HD connectivity.
All three speakers are available in black, white, green, blue, orange, and walnut colors and will be released later this year.

so they're just gonna drop 3 speakers with crazy prices... I mean, $2,299 is outta my league 
but I guess if you're into audiophile stuff, it's worth the splurge. 800W per speaker? That's insane! But at that price point, what makes me skeptical is how do they make 'em sound that good? what's the science behind all this? where's the research to back up their claims? 
. I mean, the L/R X is literally the largest speaker out there, but is it just going to be a beastly beast or can we expect some advanced tech behind that 800W power? Like, how's the sound quality really gonna hold up in a real-world setting?
The L/R Series from Cambridge Audio seems like an impressive offering for audiophiles on a budget. I think the key to their success lies in the 2.5-way acoustic design, which provides a more comprehensive sound reproduction experience. The inclusion of force-canceling passive radiators is particularly noteworthy, as it helps to minimize cabinet resonance and deliver a smoother frequency response.
Oh man, these new speakers from Cambridge Audio sound insane! I mean, 800W per speaker is crazy! 
I love the force-canceling passive radiators - it's like they're saying "hey, we've got this whole 'canceling out sound waves' thing figured out". 
It's such a game-changer. Imagine being able to stream your favorite music or podcasts from anywhere in your home without having to jump through hoops. It's just so convenient.
I mean, the L/R M still packs some serious power (300W per speaker) and it's like half the price of the flagship model. Maybe the X is just a bit too much for most people? 
anyway, not sure if i'd splurge on one. seems like it's out of my price range 
with that 800W of power per speaker - my home theater system would totally vibe with it! But, I gotta say, the price tag is kinda steep for me 
$2,299 is a lot to spend on speakers, even if they do sound amazing. The L/R M looks like a more practical option for me though, since it's still powerful but at a lower price point 
- I'm loving the walnut and green ones! Can't wait to see these in person and hear them out for myself 
at CES! I'm low-key obsessed with the flagship L/R X model, 800W per speaker is insane 
Wi-Fi streaming capabilities and force-canceling passive radiators? 
The fact that they have Wi-Fi streaming capabilities and LED underlighting is the cherry on top! 
Can't wait for these babies to hit stores this year!

Speakers, speakers everywhere... but who really wants 800W? 
Yeah, Cambridge Audio is charging up the high end!
