Cambridge 11 L (1958–1959)
Little is documented about the Cambridge 11 L. The record shows a two-way bookshelf speaker sold under the “Cambridge” name. It is distinct from the later Cambridge SoundWorks, whose Model Eleven was sold direct from the factory with a thirty-day return privilege (HiFI-Stereo, Sep 1990, p.68). The “L” stood for “Loudspeaker.” The cabinet was sealed wood, roughly 24 × 14 × 11½ inches, and weighed about 18 pounds.
Inside was a 10-inch woofer and a 3-inch tweeter, crossed over at 2.5 kHz. Impedance was 8 ohms, with a maximum input rating of 20 watts. Production ran from 1958 to 1959.
Almost nothing else survives about this model beyond a handful of period directory listings and the occasional resale listing (one example in good condition at $175). No service literature, no contemporary reviews, no production figures. It appears to have been a straightforward, affordable speaker of its era.
