Cambridge Audio Minx Min 12 Bookshelf Satellite Speaker 4th Generation with BMR Technology (White)

I used a pair of these just above the headboard in our bedroom as remote speakers for our flatscreen, and they sound great. Dialog is crisp and clear, allowing us to lower the volume of our TV (both due to the clarity and proximity). These aren't going to produce any bass, so if you'll need to supplement with a subwoofer if you are looking for a fuller sound, but for our application, they are exactly what we were looking for. They come ready to hang, but I also purchased the optional mounting brackets are a more secure option. They look great hanging on my wall, and they are so small that its easy to not even notice they are there.

Great sound for such small speakers. Nice fit and finish. Sleek design. I searched a lot of alternatives and glad I came across these. Using them as surrounds.

Excellent speaker for all satellite applications. Great for surround systems. Easy to wall mount and almost invisible on white surfaces. In a word: perfect.

I used this amazing speaker Cambridge Audio Minx Min 11 and later Minx Min 12 in testing setup on production floor. Total about 10 units. I liked 11 and 12 models very much because it was the only speaker that produced very uniform, even sound at the distance of 2 inches, which was needed on our benches. No other speaker could be even close for our specific need. It is a really clever and excellent design. There is also a weakness. We lost a few speakers due to connectors that can rotate inside of speaker and loose connection. Yes. This is design issue, not defective part. Such clever and superior product has a built in problem that reduces reliability to large degree. As I write this, I have 4 speakers no longer working, and connectors rotate with no stop point. We also had some speakers develop no connection that was restored by removing speaker cable and put it back. Likely a problem was due to insufficient force on tightening screw - again, you can't tighten it because entire connector starts rotating. This problem requires redesign of connectors inside. For that reason such excellent otherwise product 4 stars instead of 5. As I write this review, I noticed price went up from $75 in Jan 22 to $100 presently., Aug 2022. Updated Sep 1, 2022. I learned that rotating connector is just Banana Plug that rotates on speaker back panel. No proof that connecting hardware failed in defective speakers. It equally could be blown coil. Which is also troubling as speakers did not experience any abuse. All work with fixed signal, white noise at a moderate level of a 1W to 2W, well below expected handling level. And power on clicks from single output amplifiers are really low on our benches. It is a cosmic joke to advertise "recommended amplifier power 25-200W" instead of Nominal Power or Max Power or Peak Power - for a small speaker, knowing many users will work near speaker limits. 200W amplifier will send speaker flying in thick smoke cloud if speaker coil is not burned immediately. So I correct here my earlier statements, regarding connections problem, while lower than expected reliability claim remains.

These work well for surround back speakers as they are quite small yet sound bigger than you might expect. They come with basic wall mounts, but if you want to angle the speakers, get the 400M speaker wall brackets.
