Cambridge Audio Debuts L/R Series Streaming Active Speakers at CES 2026

The range introduces a Torus tweeter within a 2.5-way design to pair hi‑fi tuning with modern streaming.

Overview

  • The three-model lineup comprises the L/R X, L/R M and L/R S at $2,299, $1,599 and $549 per pair, respectively.
  • The L/R X delivers 800W per system with a 28mm Torus tweeter, dual 5-inch woofers and force-canceling radiators, while the L/R M outputs 300W with smaller drivers.
  • The L/R X and L/R M integrate StreamMagic Gen 4 for Wi‑Fi/Ethernet streaming, multiroom support and broad service compatibility.
  • The L/R S targets desktops with 100W amplification, Bluetooth aptX HD instead of Wi‑Fi, and a USB‑C input for computer audio.
  • Availability timing is unsettled, with Engadget citing “later in 2026” and Forbes and Tom’s Guide reporting spring for L/R S and summer for L/R M and L/R X.
