Cambridge Audio Minx X201-200 Watt Active Subwoofer Featuring Twin Auxiliary Bass Drivers and Fully Adjustable Sound - Black

Product Information

At the heart of the X301 beats Cambridge Audio's sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processor). When combined with the digital amplifier, this provides exceptional bass with more than enough power to rattle the china! The bass cones are constructed of one-piece, aerospace-grade aluminium and configured with both powered and passive cones; something not usually seen at this price. Compared to conventional bass ports there's a greatly enhanced bass response with far more detail and control. The Cambridge Audio Minx X301 is in the middle of the X-range and strikes an ideal balance. At just 28cm square, it's smaller than most of its rivals, yet thanks to larger bass drivers, the sound's anything but. Like the other Minx subs, the X301 uses unique Cambridge technology to produce a bass response that is both powerful and tuneful. Remember that most Dali speakers shouldn`t be toed in as in angled toward listener! Spread them apart (equilateral triangle if possible) and put them shooting straight not towards you! on this denon i dont go above +1 bass as it a;ready becomes to muddy and max bass not feel great this not the most puchy amp you will hear, my previous marantz was hugely more punchy

It may be the smallest in the family of Minx subs but don't underestimate the power of the X200! Like the other Minx subs, the X201 uses unique Cambridge technology to produce a bass response that is both powerful and tuneful. At the heart of the X201 beats Cambridge Audio's sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processor). When combined with the digital amplifier, this provides exceptional bass from what is one of the world's smallest subwoofers. To maximise this advantage the bass cones are constructed of one-piece, aerospace grade aluminium. my room is tiny, depth of my room is around 6ft, and around 9ft wide with a stupid annoying airing cupboard bolier in my room in the corner which make room smaller I searched high & low & there are not that many brands out there which offer subs that go 150hz or higher. Obviously the CA ones do as do SVS, XTZ & some others but then cost comes into play. Yes, Gemini II has the same connections as REL. You can connect it with high level or low level (LFE). There was Gemini I and now II with larger driver. Both manufacturers are well known from subwoofers. The main difference is BK makes the products in UK and sells them direct to customer with lower price as one less middle man. With REL they design them in UK and build in China like most products these days. Then they are sold by dealer. Unless it is a very potent performer, I personally would not get a 8" Sub as it will show its limits fairly early on - my Velodyne being an example of an exception to this. I would look at 10" subs ideally & maybe even a 12" one.

Regarding your Dali Sub - I thought it might be an issue as I remember looking at the 10" or 12" version of your sub to match my Mins but discounted it as it only goes up to 120Hz. Although your AVR may give the correct setting to use, if your sub cannot go that high then you will most definitely have a "Hole" or "Gap" in the sound & I am afraid to tell you you most certainly will. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 28th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) I'm considering changing the AVR next to something with a better DSP that can output at 4k with HDR. Does anyone know if this will make much difference to the sound performance of my 5.1 system at all? Using a single, BMR drive unit, the MIN 12 satellite speakers give pinpoint accuracy and are bursting with detail right up to high volume levels. BMR technology combines the advantages of both flat panel and conventional speakers, so that the MIN12 satellites won't turn harsh or brittle when the music or film action gets intense. Right now, I have a 10" Cambridge Audio Aero 9 (used to also have the 10" X500), a 10" XTZ 99W10.16 & a Velodyne SPL-800 Ultra - this one only goes up to 135Hz but works in my situation due to it being a small room & the sub is placed right next to the speakers. This should give you an idea of the types of subs to use/get. I do not use all three - it was just part of my quest to find the best suited subwoofer for the Minx Speakers!!

I strongly urge you to change your sub if you wish to really bring about the best sound & balance from your system. It will pay dividends to really experiment with the crossover settings to get the best blend so to speak but I found that in most cases 150hz usually provides the best results - 140Hz at the very lowest - any lower & the sub can be localised. Play around with the crossover till you get the best sound. am i able to add bit of bass or is sub going to be banging my floor and walls even on a low setting? Congrats on the Min's - they really are great for their size & a lifestyle speaker - the BMR drivers offer a wide dispersion unlike nearly all other drivers.Already well established as one of the most popular small speakers around, the Minx MIN12 builds on previous models with a revised BMR drive unit. Now in its fourth generation, the new unit uses a larger magnet for improved efficiency, while driver excursion has increased from 2.2mm to 4mm, giving enhanced lower-midrange for improved integration with a subwoofer. Finally, the BMR unit moves in a more uniform manner, giving a more accurate sound across all frequencies. What is the FR of your Dali Sub? You need to ensure it can really have the crossover point needed for the Mins. Also, placing the sub as close to the speakers will help greatly in blending with the sub for a seamless sound. One of my Subs, a Velodyne only has a upper FR of 135Hz but as it is next to the speaker, it blends great.

I've not tested much on it other than watching Iron Man at low volume and it sounded really good. Will try more movies out when I can. One thing I had to do is to increase the volume of the centre speaker as I was struggling to hear the dialogue.The Sony manual says to crank up the crossover to it's highest setting on the subwoofer and set the volume to half way then do a calibration to allow the AVR to set the correct crossover frequency for it. The AVR set the speakers crossover to 140hz. i was happy with my spektor 2 with a marantz amp i had but i exchanged the marantz after few months for this denon because the software kept messing up for radio
