I found 'em at WalMart

Pros Outstanding stereo imaging and general sound reproduction; good bass reinforcement for...
Cons Not quite 5.1 when you are watching movies--ultimate sound quality depends on soundcard
Recommended it? Yes

I dunno if it was mis-marked, but these were sitting on the shelf at WalMart for $44... How could I not buy these?? I've upgraded my soundcard from an ancient *original* SoundBlasterAWE32--you know the one with the 30pin SIMM slots? It did well for over 6 years now in all my gaming machines--it was...

Pros Great sound low price
Cons Lots of cables in the way sometimes
Recommended it? Yes

The Cambridge Soundworks Speakers are some of the best speakers for the price on the market.

I bought these speakers 6 months ago after owning just a simple 2-speaker setup and the difference was amazing. I only paid $79.00 dollars for the whole setup that includes

Small Speakers, Big Sound & Value...

Pros Great Sound, Easy Setup, Great Price
Cons No Center Channel or Dolby Digital Connection
Recommended it? Yes

These speakers retailed for $99 dollars when I first started looking at them, so when I caught a sale for $79 dollars I knew it was time to buy. I had read many favorable reviews, and since I had installed a new SoundBlaster Live! card, it was time to get some good speakers.

If you don't... Read full review »

A poor man's surround sound.

Pros Crisp, clear highs and lows; small size, big sound; Won't break the bank.
Cons Lots of cables, "brick" power supply.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased these speakers about 2 years ago as a replacement for Cambridge SoundWorks' previous model, the CSW PCWorks (essentially the same, but with 2 satellite cubes instead of 4.)

Cambridge SoundWorks was founded by Emmy award-winner and Audio Hall of Fame member Henry Kloss (also... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased a new computer and instead of going with the little throwaway speakers you usually get, I decided to get a quality sound system. A little short on cash, I took a look at my options, which turned out to be very few. I wished I had a set of speakers that would take advantage of... Read full review »

A real bargain, for me especially ;-)

Pros Good sound, easy setup, go well with the Soundblaster Live! family of soundcards.
Cons Lots of cables, superseded by the six speaker surround 5.1 systems (with center speaker...
Recommended it? Yes

Hold it ! Before you people start flaming me about the price I put up for this system let me explain how I came by it:

I was once again browsing through the bargain offers in the computer section of my local supermarket during the sales period which always takes place in January where I... Read full review »

Bose? No, but you can only tell when you pay for them!

Pros Unbelievable sound! Way low price!
Cons None.
Recommended it? Yes

Simply, put this sound system is amazing! I built my first computer this year, and I chose the Cambridge Soundworks system to go with it. My reasons were few, but I believe that the are similar to most people's.
One, I wanted a system to pound serious booty! I play games, listen to music, and... Read full review »

I can hear clearly now the rain has come

Pros The sound is great, true surround sound speakers with a strong woofer.
Cons Some people find faults, I don't.
Recommended it? Yes

Okay, so that's not quite the way the song goes, but it works for these AWESOME speakers. I must add now that my impression of these speakers is a bit skewed because I'm using an amazing sound card, the SoundBlaster Live! X-Gamer. The benefit of this card is that all the data going to the speakers... Read full review »

Pros Impressive sound quality, very good subwoofer, extremely convenient volume control, comes...
Cons Cables are too short, stands are too easy to knock over
Recommended it? Yes

It's hard to talk about these little wonders without gushing about how nicely they do their job. Some serious thought went into their design, and it shows. They are the best computer speakers I have ever owned.

Setup
The setup of these things takes a while. Basically, the four... Read full review »

An excellent speaker system for a very reasonable price

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Speakers powerful and easy to position, convenient volume control
Cons Subwoofer powers down automatically, no adhesive supplied for volume control
Recommended it? Yes

I'll cut right to the chase: This speaker system is worth every penny. Granted, it might not have all the extra bells and whistles of more expensive models, but you'll definitely get your $100 worth with this system.

The speakers themselves are very compact and easy to position. What's... Read full review »
