The Cambridge Audio MSX20 is a compact satellite speaker that builds on the MSX10 platform by adding a dedicated woofer alongside the BMR driver, providing additional low-frequency support and improved dynamic range. It is part of Cambridge Audio's modular MSX speaker system, designed for flexible stereo or surround sound setups without requiring large cabinets. The MSX20 features Cambridge's fourth-generation BMR technology, which combines dynamic drive unit performance with bending-wave dispersion to create an open, cohesive sound with exceptionally wide dispersion that sounds balanced and engaging throughout the room. The speaker can be wall-mounted using pivoting wall mounts, placed on table stands, or stacked with other MSX units. It connects to any amplifier or AV receiver via speaker terminals with support for 4mm banana plugs. The MSX20 is part of a modular system that includes the smaller MSX10 satellite and compact subwoofers (MSX Sub 200 and MSX Sub 300) for customizable audio configurations.
