Review: CSW FPS2000 Digital Speakers
------------------------------------

After being dissappointed in the Monsoon speakers which I had purchased, I returned them and purchased the Cambridge Soundworks speakers in its place. I have a...

Pros: Good quality sound
Cons: Looks

I liken PC sound to an optional extra in your car.
Sure, your car will function without it but think about how much more pleasureable your journey would be if you had it?
It is the same with sound. Sure your pc will work fine without it (most...

Pros: Great for gaming and DVD
Cons: None

At $150, the FPS2000 is cheaper than a number of 2 speaker sets, and I can tell you that they are truly awesome. They definitely are an evolutionary jump in 4 speaker computer systems.

Installation

Installing speakers is not much...

Pros: Surround sound great, PC audio reproduction good, easy setup
Cons: Muddled midrange, CD audio not-so-good, can't do high volumes.

One of the dilemmas of buying new hardware, such as a sound card, is buying more hardware to support that new add-on. I did my research when it came time to retire my Sony 3-piece speaker system, and selected the PCWorks setup from Cambridge. I'm a...

Pros: Excellent surround sound, good quality, great tech support
Cons: Bass issues; this is however probably just my particular set

Way back in August '99, I was yearning to buy a new computer. Our house has three computer already: the "family" Aptiva (see my Aptiva review), my dad's gutted Gateway, and my mom's laptop. Unfortunately, all of the afforementioned computers...

Pros: EXCELLENT sound quality, Features, Digital DIN input, Price, Clarity, Loudness
Cons: No headphone jack onboard

After finally owning my very own computer (got for college), I decided on getting some decent speakers, instead of using the bassless speakers that came with my PC. I went to my local Best Buy and browsed the speaker lineup, and looking at the box of...

Pros: Power sound from 4 speakers, rich bass, great when using digital output
Cons: Tricky setup to get all four speakers, adequate analog sound control, no headphone jack

It all started like this, I am a cheapskate and will refuse to pay name brand for anything on a computer, much less for any sound card or speaker system. So needless to say I picked up some no-name speakers and sound card to go with my AMD K6-2/500 Mhz...

Pros: Control Knob, Sleek Design, "Okay sound",
Cons: Average Subwoofer,Hissing at High Volumes, Short Speaker Stands

*NOTE* I bought this two months after it came out and have been using
them for quite some time.
Introduction:
It all started one day, while playing a couple mp3's with my old
bookshelf speakers. "This isn't cutting it, my...

Pros: Excellent overall sound, Compact, Aesthetically pleasing
Cons: Needs more power, speaker stands of questionable use

Product: Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 Digital Speakers

I bought these speakers because I was pleased with my Four Point Surround speakers (also from Cambridge Soundworks). I am almost...

Pros: Good Treble, Decent Bass. Aesthetics a plus. Durability unparalleled.
Cons: Midrange lacking. Speaker tripods flimsy. No headphone jack.

I purchased my computer with Boston Acoustice Micromedia 2.1 system. It was in fact a very nice system and indicative of BA's standards of quality, but I was ready to move on to 4.1 surround. I saw the fps2000 Digital at my local computer show for 115$...

Pros: Very high quality output sound at both low and high volumes.
Cons: Hard setup, rear speaker posts are on the short side.

I bought these speakers about a year ago, at my local Fry's Electronics store. I am familiar with the Cambridge/Creative sound setups, as they had a very respectable reputation. Well, I purchased these speakers for my home PC, because they were the only...

Pros: Cheap, crisp, and satisfying.
Cons: crappy tripods

By the time i write this review, i have been using fps2000 for a month with sound blaster live value.

I bought these speakers based on positive reviews on the net. And you know what? They are right.
I always want to buy the best product...

Pros: Sounds are clear, and keeps clarity when loud
Cons: I keep getting some static sounds

4.1 surround speaker.
I never thought it would make such difference.
Before buying this FPS 2000 Digital, I had benwin 2000 speakers. For some reason I got a lot of distortion from benwin, so I decided to get myself a new speaker. A lot of my...

Pros: Good Sound
Cons: Extra expense of a SB Live card for the total experience

I purchased this sound system for about $150, it was a nice upgrade from my Labtecs. I also purchased a Sound Blaster Live card since it is recommended for digital output. Many websites say that they are hard to install and come with a lot of parts, in...

Pros: Excellent Price an LOUD!!!
Cons: More Bass?

For under $150.00 these digital speakers are the best bang for the buck. These Creative speakers are made by Cambridge Soundworks, one of the best pc speakers out there. These speakers come with 4 identical speakers. The speakers are 7watts each, but the...
