A poor man's surround sound.

by bsproles , Nov 12 '02
Pros: Crisp, clear highs and lows; small size, big sound; Won't break the bank.
Cons: Lots of cables, "brick" power supply.
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...

I found 'em at WalMart

by psykosis_fc , Oct 12 '00
Pros: Outstanding stereo imaging and general sound reproduction; good bass reinforcement for gaming
Cons: Not quite 5.1 when you are watching movies--ultimate sound quality depends on soundcard
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...

Small Speakers, Big Sound & Value...

by RBradford , Dec 31 '00
Pros: Great Sound, Easy Setup, Great Price
Cons: No Center Channel or Dolby Digital Connection
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...

Cambridge Soundworks - Make the walls shake

by Destinys-Child Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 06 '00
Pros: Great sound low price
Cons: Lots of cables in the way sometimes
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...

Cambridge Soundworks FourPointSurround: These Are The Ones To Buy!

by jucm , Apr 24 '01
Pros: Impressive sound quality, very good subwoofer, extremely convenient volume control, comes with stands, great price
Cons: Cables are too short, stands are too easy to knock over
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.

For £40 you get sound, but far more than the norm!

by MichaelHatton Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 10 '01
Pros: Cheap, small satellites, OK bass, plenty of cable run, integrate excellently.
Cons: Sub woofer shakes the desk & can't reach the real low stuff.
As I write this I am actually testing the SoundWorks system, and so its one of the easier reviews to write. As I listen to my rock music, the satellites seem fairly clear and capable to produce the dense sounds well.

Anyway on to the tests:...

Awful Movie Speakers

by cptsulu , Dec 29 '00
Pros: Long wires, loud, precise
Cons: not a replacement for 5.1
I actually have a Cambridge Soundworks FPS1500 set of speakers, but I couldn't find it on Epinions so I'm writing me review here.

The FPS1500 set is in between the FPS2000 and PCWorks Four Point Surround systems. This system is basically...

Great sound at a killer sound

by jinsengchs_sg , Sep 30 '00
Pros: Great value, handy volume control.
Cons: Is for those on a BUDGET; it will not match up to more hefty sets like the FPS2000, among others.
This is a great set of speakers! For the price of below $100, which is in the bargain basement, you get 3D positional audio and the great sound you would expect in higher-end speakers.

Once you open the package, you see the satellites. Wow,...

Great Speaker System for an even greater price

by kar_ryhn , Jan 16 '00
Pros: Great Sound, Small price; Nice placement of volume controls; Did I mention price?; Good documentation
Cons: Unshielded wires sometimes pick up radio stations; Speaker stands are a bit on the short side;
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...

What are you looking for??

by Adisharr , Nov 09 '00
Pros: Low cost! - should cost more, Excellent quality, Extremely small..
Cons: No independent volume for front / rear levels, Rear speakers stands could be a bit more durable..
IF you think your going to shake a wall down with these low cost units your wrong. This sub / satellite system will deliver very balanced sound if your using this as secondary speaker set-up for game sound or DVD movie watching for your PC.

Little Price, BIG SOUND

by StarPrime , Dec 12 '99
Pros: Sound, Price, Installation
Cons: Not a digital system
The 3D sound out of these four small, cube-shaped speakers and block subwoofer is simply astounding! Having owned these speakers for almost a year I can honestly say your ears will hear every note from any software package with clarity and with deep...

The Sound and the Fury

by Strango , Apr 27 '00
Pros: Good sound, lotsa bass, 4.1 surround
Cons: flaky volume control, distorts at high volume, crappy rear speaker stands
When I bought my new system last year, I figured that I'd try to get the best stuff that I could afford at the time. I had my eye on Cambridge's 5.1 Dolby Surround speakers, but they were out of my price range (by about $150). So I settled for...

A real bargain, for me especially ;-)

by isvikthere , Mar 15 '01
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 added)
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...

Great Sounding Speakers

by marlborolite , Feb 23 '00
Pros: great sound, price, addon
Cons: none
These have to be some of the best speakers I have ever used! There is nothing like having surround sound at the PC. I play a TON of games. These speakers are wonderful. It is really hard to say anything bad about them. For instance, if you couple them...

Power punch on the ear, not the wallet.

by blusavana , May 10 '00
Pros: Great Sound, Great Price
Cons: Lousy speaker stands, obtrusive volume control
All I have to say about these speakers are "WOW"! This is one of the best buys on computer speakers I have found. There are some problems, but they are small, and I will get to them later.

The Good: You get great full sound and nice...
