Product Description

Combining a 2.25 BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) driver and 6 woofer, these are the little speakers that make a big sound. But don't make the mistake of thinking them brash. Using a BMR driver instead of a traditional tweeter gives the Aero series several key advantages - adding up to a radical difference in audio quality compared to its rivals. Remove your preconceptions of what a speaker this size can do and listen for yourself.

Not really impressed for the price

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought these speakers after reading several trusted websites that are well known for audio/speaker reviews (WhatHiFi, Stereofile, Crutchfield, Soundstagehifi, SoundandVision, etc.). Just want a simple 2.0 stereo setup for my tv. I was hoping to hear a significant upgrade in sound quality from what I had been previously using (Pioneer SP-BS22 bookshelf speakers). After receiving the Aero 2's, first impression was that they are pretty huge for bookshelf speakers. Twice the size of the moderately sized looking BS22's. Didn't really bother me because I figured the sound quality would be worth it. After first hearing music from the Aero 2's, I wasn't initially impressed with their performance.Gave them 30-35 hours of break in times at 50-60% volumes. Quickly done while letting them play all day during my long shifts at work. Sounded slightly better but nothing that I had hoped for. I truely didn't notice an improvment from the BS22's. If you look at reviews the the BS22's you will see that they are outstanding speakers as well so it's hard to say if the Aero 2s are underachieving or the 22's are simply superior in many ways. After listening for a while I quickly wired up the BS22s again to get a direct comparison back to back. The BS22s sounded clearer, with much better imaging. You could hear the fine details in depth and the bass.. makes no sense how the bass could be lower/deeper on the 22s but they are. Andrew Jones from Pioneer did something phenomenal with these things. It's possible thee Aero 2's would sound better after maybe 60-70 hours of break in time? But I really don't see much of improvement after the initial listen, then after the 30-35 hours of play. Granted the Aero 2's can play louder and the bass stayed true up to high volumes (to be expected from speakers of this size/price) but there honestly weren't any real improvements. For $500.00 for a pair of bookshelf speakers, I was expecting to be pretty blown away by the sound performance, instead, I was left feeling disappointed and upset. 35 hours of break in time should be enough to give one an idea of what to expect and these just did not live up to the hype/price. Have to pay the $35 to return them to a UPS store but oh well. I'm not sure how they would sound in a much larger area (my living room is 16x20 and I could hear the hissing noise commonly heard from cheaper speakers. From a longer distance, this might be less noticable. So in all fairness, these might be made for large areas (and not small/average size living rooms). Really wanted to love them after reading all the outstanding reviews and I know Cambridge Audio has a great reputation for speakers. Hope others have better luck.

Nice speakers for SET amp - SMOOTH

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

Really nice and smooth speakers. I drive these with a SET vacuum tube amp and they really work well. It's hard to tell that the sound is coming from the speaker and you'd swear the perform was standing right in front of you. I like more treble because I have a bit of high pitch hearing loss but that's me. These have nice clarity. I wish the back input would have counter sunk at an angle because banana plugs really stick out far in the back. Being front ported, I'd think you'd want them push all the way back. That can be remedied changing the connection but when you use $100 wire, who wants to cut on it. Also a dual connection would have been nice to use two types of amps. All an all, I'm happy with these. I tried the Klipsch Reference speakers and they were too harsh, they were not as pleasant as these speakers. Docked them a star for the piss-poor rear connection layout and the tweeter could be a tad more metallic.

Excellent detail

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm not an audiophile per se, I'm a nube when it comes to sounds systems, so bare that in mind. These speakers have beautiful detail and clarity without sounding harsh, but they also have very loud bass with low distortion (I have them in a large mostly empty room made of plaster, so the distortion I get could be due to the acoustics). I followed the manufacturers preferred break in method and it took a pretty long time, but it was worth it. For the price, I'm very happy with these.

The best speaker I had ever owned

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 13, 2016

After about 25 hr run in mode, aero 2 flies. Small tiny aero sound like heavenly sorround, even with 2 stereo. I underestimated this speaker with $ 299. OMG you will never regret. Remember no run-in is not good. You will blame everybody and reviewer. Thanks cambidge audio.

Meh

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2017

After reading the reviews I really thought that this speaker was gonna be a giant-killer. The lack of a crossover in the midrange sounded great in theory, but the reality was somewhat underwhelming. The midrange is indeed this speaker's strength, but it's hardly electostatic-like. In addition, the highs are soft, the bass sounds a bit hollow and also lacks the extension I would have expected based on the size of the cabinets. Overall then, this is a decent speaker and a good deal at its current discounted price, but keep your expectations realistic.

Build quality is very Bad. The Rubbers round the woofers are pasted so ...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2017

I purchased these speakers last year. Build quality is very Bad. The Rubbers round the woofers are pasted so badly, they have already come out and you cannot fit them into their slots either. A clumsy pair of speakers and going by Cambridge Audio Standards it is very embarrassing to sell Products like this. It is really a rip off.
