What Critics & Customers Say About Cambridge SoundWorks

"If you are looking for one of the best possible home solutions for your iPod or have your eye on one of those great-sounding, expensive premium table radios like the Bose Wave Radio, today is your lucky day! I regularly receive e-mails asking, "What is that radio I have seen you recommend in the column, the one that sounds better than the Bose but costs less?" The radio in question is the critically acclaimed SoundWorks Radio from Cambridge SoundWorks. The top-of-the-line version is the SoundWorks i765 iPod/DVD Entertainment System. It combines the great-sounding AM-FM radio/alarm clock with a CD/DVD player and an integrated iPod docking station with charging capability..........At its original price of $499, the i765 offered a lot for the money, and at the new price of $299 it's simply flabbergasting. Lots of readers were thrilled with their $349 SoundWorks CD radios, and now you can get a much more advanced, more capable model for $50 less! When I received the press release announcing the price reduction, I had to double check it to make sure I was reading it correctly........I commend Cambridge SoundWorks not only for making a great product, but for really putting themselves out there by making a bold, consumer-friendly move in tough economic times." Don Lindich, Sound Advice from McClatchy-Tribune News Service, www.soundadviceblog.com. Read Full Review

What Customers Say About Our High Performance Table Radios

“Puts the Bose tabletop units to shame... I haven't had this for long, but already I am finding that I am not using my other systems nearly as much--it is just that good, and that convenient. Sound is really good for a little gizmo. The remote control is great. Access your iPod and your CDs and the radio waves and DVD and videos. Nice.”  A customer from Portland, Oregon. 

“Fantastic value and performance…I just received the i765 and I am incredibly impressed. I owned the previous generation 88CD, and that was a good system. The sound reproduction of the new model is even better, and the added features of iPod integration and a DVD player make it, in my mind, the best value in its class - certainly better than the "B-word" systems which cost hundreds more and have fewer features. Nice job!”  Bob S.  from Elon, NC. 

“Convincing product…..I only have this little wonder for 3 days but I loved the ease with which I was able to set it up. I had a bit of trouble learning how to (of all things!) set the alarm, but then again, I loved the fact that tech support was ready and willing to instruct me on that issue. The player is built solidly and has a nice elegant look to it. I compared it, at the store, to 3 roughly equally priced products and the sound quality was roughly the same (to be 100% honest), but the Cambridge product ended up winning out for its appearance, simplicity of use, and competitive pricing in that high-end range of products.” I. Fligman   from NY.

“Buy It! We've been looking for a small scale home theatre system where we didn't have to put speakers all over the room. We use it for DVDs, iPod, sound for the TV, etc. and it is a great solution. It fits on a shelf above our flat screen and the speakers are powerful and clear enough to fill our large living and dining area. No regrets and great buy for the cost.” Traci K  from New Hampshire.

“Fantastic! I received my i765 last week, and am just astounded at the clarity and volume that this little machine produces. At any volume level all dialogue is understandable, and every sound down to the clink of a glass is heard. The video quality is excellent as well. I am very happy with my purchase, and shipping was free and very quick to arrive. I highly recommend this product.” Ashley C.  from Charleston WV.

“Amazing Technology! I received my new CambridgeSoundWorks 745 on 8/1/2008. I am just amazed at the technology of such immense sound and functions from such a compact unit. I am from the 70's generation where multiple components and speaker size of a Volkswagen were the standard of a great sound system. I researched 4 units prior to my selection. The units were Bose, Polk Audio, Tivoli and Cambridge. I found they all are quality systems of their own, but Cambridge really out shown both in quality as well as value.” Henry F from Grand Haven, Michigan.

“WOW just doesn't quite get it……I have both this system and the equivalent Bose system. This system has it hands down over the Bose sound wise. The Bose has a noticeably thinner sound. The Bose ain't too shabby, but this little thang is just awesome. Classical, rock, opera - it doesn't care! Plays them all gorgeously!” Lee J   from Astoria, NY.

“Outstanding performance and sound. Having always been a fan of the Bose systems, I wanted a CD/iPod compatible unit for a 3 season room addition. The prices for comparable units was easily 50% higher. Having read the reviews and seeing the return policy thru CSW I bought the 745i. It performs flawlessly, fits the room and the sound quality is outstanding. I get my iPod and my wife her CDs. Thanks for the quality product and quick delivery.” Glen from Burke, Virginia.

“Wow! Just got my CD 745i. I love it! Great sound, great tuner, great controls and display. But it's all about the sound! I have a CSW home theater system, so I figured the radio would be good, but WOW!” Paul M from New Orleans, LA.

“WOW ! 5 stars is not enough. I am so sorry if you bought a Bose before you heard this radio!” Paul D from NJ.

“Best bedroom sound system ever! We bought this at an incredibly low price from CS last year. We've used it for several months now and I am blown away by the quality of the sound. The three main selling points for me are: - small size for such a great sound - ability to play mp3 discs - good radio reception and reliable alarm function We use it mainly for playing loaded mp3 discs, usually easy listening type music and as an alarm clock for the bedroom. I haven't used the ipod dock but may in the future. We couldn't have found a better product for our use for any price.” Greg A. from North Alabama.

“Outstanding table radio. You can not beat this radio for the price anywhere. The sound and clarity is remarkable and the output of the subwoofer is great. In addition, this radio sounds even better than the [major competitor], and getting it on sale it was $329 less than the [major competitor] (with the iPod adapter). Congratulations to Cambridge SoundWorks for a really fine piece of gear.” Jeffrey R from Centralia, IL.

“SoundWorks i745 a Hit! My wife and I absolutely love the clarity of sound with this unit. It is an absolute knockout and a nice looking radio to boot! I would have ranked it higher had it not been for the iPod only feature. I would have loved to hook up my Sony mp3 to listen to what this outfit can do with the tunes I have on it.” Hans from Holland, MI.

“Beats the Pants Off Bose. We made a side-by-side comparison of the Cambridge 745i with the Bose Wave Music System II. The Bose is three times as big and costs three times as much, but our unit generated noticeable distortion at high volume levels. The Bose treble was silky and subdued, the Cambridge treble was sparkling, with a lot of presence and definition. The Bose bass had a deeper "throat", but the overall sound was murky. For my money, the Cambridge is worth three times as much as the Bose - just the opposite from current pricing.” James B from Michigan USA.

“Great Sound. I have had the unit for about 2 months and for its size it absolutely sounds great. I have listened to other small units like Bose and Dennon which sound good but the 745 is much better. The other units have better features but for me it all comes down to the sound. I could have all the best features that could be crammed into a small unit but if it doesn’t sound that great, to me, it's just an expensive alarm clock. If you need a complete system that you can carry in one hand that sounds great this is it. Just make sure you keep things in perspective, it's not a large stereo system but it sure sounds close.” Larry from Oak Harbor, Wa.

“Watch out Bose. The sound this radio/cd produces is beyond expectation. The functions are many but simple and easy to use. The only item I would ask you to look at is the fm antenna hookup. The signal is only fair off the internal unless your able to stretch the power out almost straight and the external wire doesn't make a tight connection. Reception there is only fair also.” Steven B from Ripon, Calif.

“Great product! Just got my CD 745i radio yesterday and am very , very pleased with it. After looking at your competitors radios and their prices yours is a great radio at a great price.” Kenneth A from Snellville, GA.

“Best available. Can't be beat on sound, function or price. You'll make a mistake if you buy anything else of its genre. Don't even consider a boombox, miniature stereo or dedicated iPOD speakers. Everything can be improved, however, so I'll offer these two suggestions. First, let's add a retractable CD tray so that CDs don't have to be pushed into the unit, with the risk of jamming it by attempting to load multiple CDs when the unit accepts only one (which my 8-year old just did - so do many adults according to tech support - it will cost you $65 plus shipping to have the manufacturer repair the unit). In the alternative, a top door could be added for loading CDs. Second, let's add some cooler clock functions, such as additional alarm sounds and alarms that increase in volume or in how annoying they are the more you hit the snooze button (not that you can't set the alarm to be as loud or as annoying as anyone possibly can tolerate, because you can). Don't let any of the foregoing stop you from buying this device, however, especially if you're careful with your things and are disciplined in awakening. I've got three of them already and probably will buy a few more for the guest room, our home office and my city office.” A customer from Charlotte, NC.

“Superior Sound. This is my second SoundWorks; I've just upgraded to the 745i. The clarity, range and performance of this product is unparalled. It offers numerous choices and combinations thus allowing truly customized sound. There is no comparison to other table model radios in the under $500 range. The new 745i seems a bit more compact than previous models and is available in white which is aesthetically more pleasing than the 735's ivory. The front speakers have a different covering...less likely to collect dust or dirt.” Carrie L from NV.

“Buy one now!!!! Forget all others. This is by far the best sounding clock radio for the money. Warm, rich, sound, and this little thing cranks too!!! I listened to them all, the [Wave] clock radio, Boston Acoustics clock radio, Polk Audio version, and Tivoli. Only the Tivoli sounded better in my opinion and it was only marginally better, but it costs $999 for the base finish. The reception with the internal antenna is superb, though I do live in a major metropolitan area, so I can't speak to its performance in more remote areas. My guess is with the external antenna (included)the reception would be even better, I found no reason to use it. Clock radio functionality again, is outstanding, I can't think of anything more I would want or need. The iPod dock is great, allows basic functionality with the remote, but not all, but then again, neither does any other iPod dock out there. Outstanding sound, functionality, possibly the best sounding iPod dock, what's there not to love.” Audiofanatic from Philadelphia, PA

“Best small radio on the market. I have bought 3 of these in the last 4 months. One for the office, one for the shop and another for my Mom. We added a TERK passive antenna to each and they perform flawlessly. I like the styling and combined w/Cambridge quality and reputation, you can't miss. If you’re looking for a no-frills, straight forward radio, This is it!” Jimmy D from Indiana, USA

”Top Rate Radio. Not only do I use it as a room to room radio, but joined with my model 12 portable system it rivals component rack systems.” A customer from USA

“I love it. I love the retro styling and simplicity of turning knobs rather then pushing buttons. With the option for headphone listening and auxiliary input jack with modern fidelity the 705 is a highly attractive bedside or table radio.” Dennis from Long Island, NY.

"I received my SoundWorks [Radio CD] 740 table radio this week. This unit has amazing sound! I was looking for a compact audio system with high-quality sound at low volumes to use in my massage therapy room. The 740's rich bass and crisp highs are fantastic, especially with the wide stereo function. Every client has commented on how full and enveloping the sound is. I am so glad I heard about the SoundWorks 740. I was referred by a complete stranger via the internet after asking questions about purchasing a [major competitor's] radio. You can bet I'll be telling my associates about Cambridge SoundWorks." - Scott W.

"About two days ago I received your new model 730, and must say it has exceeded my expectations by far. I love the sound, and the unit really seems to be total quality construction. The sound is superb." - William G.

"I purchased the Cambridge SoundWorks Model 88 Table Radio. I cannot say enough about this radio! … you have to buy one and hear it to believe it!" - Happy customer

"The Kloss Model 88 is a great sounding radio, don't waste your money on (the competition), the Model 88 sounds even better." - Happy customer

"I purchased a Model 88 radio from cambridgesoundworks.com early this year I was amazed at the quality of sound that this radio puts out. I have recommended this product to many of my friends." - Happy customer

"I know it's a corny rhyme, but my slate (Model) 88 is great! By the way, I'm ordering another one as an anniversary gift for my son and daughter in law. They'll love it. And I can listen to it when I go to visit." - John S.

"I've had a few days with the Model 88 now and this thing dwarfs (the competition)! They (the competition) should be embarrassed to try to sell a lesser quality radio for almost $200 more than cambridgesoundworks.com." - Happy customer

"I have purchased two Model 88 table radios over the past 1 1/2 years. I have also shopped extensively for competing table radios. The Cambridge SoundWorks Model 88 radio clearly and substantially outperforms its only serious competitor. It is not even a close race. Furthermore, the customer service department at Cambridge SoundWorks is unmatched. The Model 88 is the gem of table radios on the market today, at a bargain price. It's a no-brainer." - Happy customer

"We have been more than pleased by the Model 88's performance in our living room, and mom and dad have recently bought another one to go in their bedroom. We have also recommended the radio to several friends. Keep up the good work!" - Happy customer

What Customers Say About Our Newton Series™ Speakers and Systems

"My son was in the market for some surround speakers on a slight budget. I suggested your surrounds and he loves them. Then I wanted to upgrade surrounds in my own system. I chose your Newton Multipole S300s. They are absolutely fantastic for movie and music surround with the 3 choices (mono-pole, bi-pole, and di-pole) offered by the selector switch on the bottom (convenient location!). I am an audiophile for many years now, so these words don't come lightly from me. Your prices are certainly more than reasonable, and I have seen these beauties written up very favorably in a few high-end audio/video magazines. I highly recommend these speakers and Cambridge Soundworks! They will have what you're looking for at a price you want to pay, and actually appreciate you as a customer! You don't find that much anymore, anywhere! I couldn't have done it better myself!" - GB

"I just received my Newton M50 speakers.. they are small in size but very big in sound. I am very, very pleased with the sound they produce. The bass response is terrific and the highs are crystal clear." - Larry S.

"They (Newton speakers) sound truly amazing. Crystal clear and very detailed. The sub is outstanding, very tight and clean bass with no noticeable distortion even at high volumes. I have purchased products from you before and still am very satisfied and truly amazed at the quality that you get for such an affordable price." - John K.

"My Newton Theater MC300 speaker system surpasses my wildest expectations. My friends are awe-struck when they hear them. Thanks for outstanding products." - Happy customer

"I just wanted to let you know that (the Newton M80 Bookshelf Speakers) are AWSOME! I love the clarity and bass production. I don't know how you can make these speakers with this quality for $350. They sound as good as speakers that cost $700 dollars each. I love the speakers. I am telling all my friends about Cambridge SoundWorks speakers. Thanks." - Clayton B.

"Where to start? I've finally found a pair of affordable speakers that let you hear what you're supposed to hear: everything that's on the CD! No details lost, no "warmth" added. I've had the speakers for a little over a month now, and I've set them up all sorts of different ways. The encouraging thing is, the simpler the set up, the more these speakers shine! Probably the highest praise I can give the Newton (speakers) is that I'm now selling off my surround equipment. Because of their small size, I can have them about 8' from the front wall of my living room (which is about 12' wide by 24' deep) and they completely fill the room with sound. Who needs rear speakers? I'd highly recommend these speakers to anyone in the market for small, satellite-type speakers. Now I've got some truly high-end sounding speakers for bargain basement money." - Happy customer

"These speakers sound WONDERFUL and I couldn't be more thrilled about them! The soundstage is full, rich, and detailed with great presence and clarity. Voices sound fabulous with just the right amount of texture and crisp articulation. Gloria Estefan's voice on 'I See You Smile' is nothing short of stunning. One thing that really stands out is how well these speakers handle resonant sounds such as the vibration of a piano string or the vibrato of a singer's voice. The way these types of sound resonant just brings a gorgeous tingling quality to the music. I hear much more detail than I've heard in other speakers. The speakers do a great job of handling complex vocal or instrumental arrangements. You can hear individual instruments or voices clearly from the rest. I feel like the sound is very enveloping with great presence. Natalie Imbruglia's new hit 'Wrong Impression' just engulfs you with a large soundstage that just makes you tingle." - Happy customer

"Musically, our family room has been turned into a small concert hall; to close one's eyes, one would think that the performance is live. While I'm only at the two-week mark of my trial period, I'm confident that I've made the best-possible purchase for the money. This speaker system has made 'watching the DVD' preferable to 'seeing it in the movies.' I would definitely make this purchase all over again." - Paul M.

"I must say that for home theater use I am completely blown away. The effortless bass produced by the (Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series T300's) built-in subs is awesome." - Happy customer

"These (Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series T500) speakers are amazing. I purchased the Blonde Maple and they are great to look at and even better to listen to. The soundstage that these speakers create is amazing. I would recommend these speakers to anyone." - Happy customer

"These (Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series T500) speakers are very beautifully designed and constructed. They are made with heavy duty components, to be sure. After setting them up, I turned on my stereo, and was astounded right off the bat. The vocals and mid-range are very smooth and silky, with warm undertones. The high notes are very crisp and clean, without being too sharp or bright, like so many speakers I've listened to recently. As for the bass, I wasn't prepared for how good it would be. The amount of bass these speakers produce borders on obscene. If you like deep, rich bass without to much 'boom,' you will enjoy these speakers very much. I am hearing new detail from my music, especially in the low-end." - Corey T.

What Customers Say About Our MicroWorks Multimedia/Computer Speaker System

"I bought a MicroWorks powered speaker system from cambridgesoundworks.com (I bought a Model 88 radio and an Ensemble III last year). The MW worked great, it arrived barely 48 hours after I ordered it, it was in perfect condition, and the billing was correct -- I will continue to buy all of my gear from cambridgesoundworks.com." - Happy customer

"I recently purchased the Cambridge SoundWorks MicroWorks multimedia speakers… They're absolutely the best multimedia speakers I've heard to date. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give them a 15. Truly an astonishing product." - Allen C.

"I purchased a SoundWorks Microworks multimedia speaker system in April of this year. It sounds terrific, both in my practice room and in live-performance situations, which have included an auditorium with over a hundred people present. Even in this live-performance situation, the sound has been fantastically good, clear, and plenty loud. I'm very pleased!! I must also congratulate Cambridge for their excellent customer service." - Rudy H.

"The Cambridge SoundWorks MicroWorks are the best value 2-channel speakers that you can get for your computer and listening use. The satellites put out great sound in the high and mid-range. The subwoofer has very clear bass that does not give any indication of distortion. When hooked up to a cd player, it rivals almost any other stereo system. After buying the speakers, I prefer to listen to music on them rather than my stereo." - Happy customer

"MicroWorks are the best speakers I have ever had for 150 dollars. Want to know why? One, they have a great sound clarity. Two, they are loud; you can really fill a room with the sound of these sonic cannons. And three, the bass response is awesome. I love these speakers. I'd take a bullet for my MicroWorks." - Happy customer

"Prior to buying the Cambridge SoundWorks MicroWorks, we researched the product on CNET, and also comparison-shopped at our local Cambridge SoundWorks. It has lived up to its reviews and then some. These speakers provide awesome range that makes them suitable for anything from hardcore gaming to listening to your favorite CD." - Herbert S.

"I was looking for a decent pair of multimedia speakers for my laptop at work. I had size restrictions and really didn't want to settle for a pair of "throw away" speakers that are all over the market these days. By chance I stopped by cambridgesoundworks.com to see what they had in this category. I was pleasantly surprised to find the Cambridge SoundWorks MicroWorks on sale... $149.00. Knowing the quality and value the SoundWorks line has, I jumped at the chance to get a set of speakers that were actually well above the benchmark I had in my head. cambridgesoundworks.com was very quick to ship my purchase to me, and as on many other purchases, the product was perfect out of the box. The size is perfect, the sound is full & powerful and the price is great. Many of my co-workers, after listening to the MicroWorks, have also been going to your site to get their own pair. Thanks for the great product, service and especially the great value that allowed me to acquire a better pair of speakers than I thought I could at my price point. Keep up the good work." - Todd S.

"I bought Cambridge SoundWorks speakers for my computer in Denmark. Excellent sound at a very, very good price. And now I am sitting in Kosovo as a peacekeeper, using your fantastic Soundworks again. You are really doing a great job with these speakers - thanks a lot!" - Peter G.

"I ordered a good-size order from you and it is as promised. The Creative Sound Blaster Soundcard & External Audigy Drive with the Cambridge MegaWorks 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers made my vision come to life. Now that is what sound should be! ... Kudos, Kudos, Kudos! I would order from you again anytime and have recommended you to all my friends. Hats off. The True Sound Specialists!! On a scale of 1-10 (I'd give this system) a 50 Keep 'em blastin' on!!!" - Eric T.

"I just purchased your PC Works Speaker System. What an unexpected and wonderful discovery! I don't have a lot of money to spend, but I spend a lot of time at my computer and have a lot of good CDs, so I wanted a step up from the speakers that came with my computer several years ago. I don't know much about computers, but I know good sound quality when I hear it. In short, for their size and price, I have NEVER heard better sound reproduction; maybe even without the qualifiers... The three-dimensional sound, the clarity, and strength--from such tiny little boxes!--is astounding. These speakers sound better than my main component stereo system!" - Paul S.

"I bought the PCWorks a year ago… The speakers rank among the most precious things that I have in my house. Recently I had a pretty boisterous party with the music coming from those teeny weeny things. And most of my friends who look at those speakers end up buying a set themselves. (These speakers) are really cool!" - Happy customer

"Nearly 6 months ago I decided I needed some good speakers for my home office computer (who doesn't like to work with music in the background?). Already a proud of owner or the Ensemble III system, I knew exactly where to look for my computer speakers. However, I was hesitant at first to purchase PCWorks. I loved the diminutive size but had concerns about their ability to provide the kind of sound quality I needed. Well, that was 6 months ago and I'm still blown away every time I fire these little gems up!. The sound quality is incredible for such a small package, and sounds better than most of my neighbor’s full size systems. Perfect size, very good sound, surprisingly powerful, and (most important) affordability, make PCWorks a winner of a product. Keep up the good work." - Andrew D.

"I purchased a PCWorks Multimedia Speaker System largely based on two important items: brand name and the fact that it was direct 12-volt DC capable. Boy am I a happy camper. We have a remote mountain home site that we run all off 12 volt DC power and this was the absolute perfect add on. For the thousands of folks that are powering a home or remote cabin on 12 volt, you guys have a whole new market. Thanks guys." - Bob C.

"I recently ordered a Porta-Pack "SoundWorks" Amplified Speaker System for a friend. Just wanted to say that she is THRILLED with the sound she now gets from music CD's in her laptop. Apparently your claims are fully justified! Keep up the good work" - Doreen B.

"Cambridge Soundworks delivers the best multimedia speakers for the price, bar none. I've tried (the competition)... nothing compares to the clarity and response of these speakers. The large 8" subwoofer really proves itself during game explosions and hip-hop internet radio. The best part is that it's NOT a huge system. Even with the 8" subwoofer it still manages to fit nicely under my desk and out of site (these are) speakers built for hardcore gamers and people demanding only the best in their music. I will definitely be buying from Cambridge SoundWorks when I build a home theatre system." - Happy customer

"I placed a good-sized order from you & it is as promised. SoundWorks 510D 5.1 Surround Sound (Multimedia) Speakers made my vision come to life. Now that is what sound should be! I would order from you again anytime & recommend to all my friends.  On a 1-10 scale (I give it) a 50." - Eric T.

What Customers Say About Our Floorstanding Speakers

"I recently auditioned an impressive loudspeaker retailing for $15K - nearly ten times the retail price of your Towers! That's what kind of expenditure it may take to acquire a loudspeaker that outclasses your Towers. I am here to say that your loudspeakers truly do compete with--if not outperform--loudspeakers costing three, four, maybe five times the cost of the Towers. The tonal balance and accuracy, naturalness, spaciousness, ambiance, imaging, richly robust-yet tuneful-bass, imaging, detail, articulation, and clarity are simply unmatched by many other loudspeaker designs in the Towers' price range, and indeed by many, many, many more higher-priced models. The Towers' ability to reproduce live CDs--ambiance, sense of venue, crowd noise, and music-- is simply nonpareil. The build-quality. surpasses that of many higher-priced models. It's a hell of a product. Bravo! I have you (as well as the late and venerable Henry Kloss) to thank for many, many hours of pure listening enjoyment." - Mark B.

"I bought a pair of CSW Tower speakers a few months ago, and I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with how they sound in my home. They play loud without any of the frequencies becoming overly prominent. They remain the most well balanced speakers I've ever owned, at any volume. During critical listening, I can concentrate on anything - vocalists, percussion, bass, or whatever, and hear it distinctly from everything else, not part of a muddled lump of sound. A friend who is having the finishing touches put on a new home will be ordering a pair in the near future, after having heard mine. Thank you." - John K.

"I recently purchased a pair of Tower II speakers and am very delighted with their value, superior quality and performance. Even though they are set in a large 600 sq.ft. room, the speakers fill the entire space with a full range of music… low frequency sounds are strong with crisp and clear punch… Thank you, Cambridge SoundWorks and cambridgesoundworks.com." - Happy customer

"I must say that for home theater use I am completely blown away. The effortless bass produced by the (T300's) built-in subs is awesome." - Anonymous customer

"These (Newton Series T500) speakers are amazing. I purchased the Blonde Maple and they are great to look at and even better to listen too. The soundstage that these speakers create are amazing. I would recommend these speakers to anyone." - Dave

"These (Newton Series T500) speakers are very beautifully designed and constructed.. they are made with heavy duty components, to be sure. After setting them up, I turned on my stereo, and was astounded right off the bat. The vocals and mid-range are very smooth and silky, with warm undertones. The high notes are very crisp and clean, without being too sharp or bright, like so many speakers I've listened to recently. As for the bass, I wasn't prepared for how good it would be. The amount of bass these speakers produce borders on obscene. If you like deep, rich bass without to much 'boom', you will enjoy these speakers very much. I am hearing new detail from my music, especially in the low-end." - Corey T.

"I am a college student who wanted a nice speaker to blast loud (and) that would remain crystal clear at high volumes. (Tower III is) amazing. I was afraid the bass was not going to be loud enough in my 15x15 room. I was wrong. The music fills the room like nothing I've ever experienced. It makes me just want to close my eyes and let the music completely envelop my body. God Bless Cambridge SoundWorks." - Joe G.

" [Cambridge SoundWorks Tower II Floorstanding speakers are] ...ABSOLUTELY fantastic speakers. Crisp, clear detailed highs, strong but not overbearing midrange, very powerful yet smooth bass, especially for a pair of 8" woofers!" - Haplo A.

"These (Tower II Floorstanding Speakers) are the best-sounding speakers I have ever heard for under $1000." - Mike A.

What Customers Say About Our Speaker Packages

"I just had to tell you guys how impressed I am with the 'Ensemble' speaker package my sisters presented me with this past Christmas. Sounds so good I've become addicted to watching DVDs exclusively. My initial reaction to a passive subwoofer was one of puzzlement, I simply could not understand how I was going to enjoy Saving Private Ryan without the aid of a powered subwoofer... (but) once I hooked the right cable (optical) my life changed for the better. It’s just simply wonderful and the center channel actually lets me hear all the dialogue that usually gets muddled together with all the background noises and music, etc. ... It's great! Cambridge has a convert." - Mike F.

"The Cambridge SoundWorks MovieWorks II 5.1… sounds so good in my family room that I wonder how I got by without it for so long. The sound is clear and powerful enough to fill the room with great sound." - Joe D.

"I recently purchased an Ensemble IV Home theater system from cambridgesoundworks.com. Ordering on Hifi was a breeze. The system arrived on the expected date, and once hooked up (following the good directions in the user's manual) it was ready to go. It's quite unbelievable that the sound from these small speakers… can be so rich and room-filling." - Happy customer

"I recently purchased the Ensemble IV Home Theater System… When I unpacked the system and hooked it up, I was absolutely amazed. How did Cambridge SoundWorks pack so much sound into five cube speakers and a passive subwoofer? I'm hooked… cambridgesoundworks.com's Customer Service is excellent and the 45 day in-home trial period can't be beat. Everyone that I have spoken to has been extremely knowledgeable, courteous and professional. It has made for an extremely pleasant purchase experience. Thank you." - Happy customer

"I purchased the inexpensive Cambridge SoundWorks Ensemble IV speaker system for my home in January. After figuring out an appropriate location for the product, I was very pleased with the results. However, I was even more pleased when both my brother-in-law and a good friend both asked where I had purchased such a nice sounding speaker setup! They are both fine musicians, and the in-law is a DJ, so they know what good-sounding setups are supposed to be like. I was happy to be able to tell them that cambridgesoundworks.com was my "source" for Cambridge SoundWorks equipment. Thanks again!" - Happy customer

"I've owned the Ensemble speaker system for many years and have been very pleased with the stereo sound quality and the flexibility that the system provides. Recently, I decided to upgrade my speaker system to take advantage of the new Dolby Digital 5.1 technology and DTS formats that are available on DVD's. My first thought was cambridgesoundworks.com. After my first call I knew I made the
right choice. The sales professionals at cambridgesoundworks.com provided me with expert advice as to how to upgrade my existing system to insure that the components matched my needs. The sound quality of this system in one word is AWESOME… My total experience with cambridgesoundworks.com has been beyond my expectations and the system sounds great." - Happy customer
"I recently purchased the Cambridge SoundWorks New Ensemble system, and I am thrilled with the unbelievable sound. I would have expected to pay more than $1000 for a gem like this." - Happy customer

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my recently purchased New Ensemble III speaker system. It is perfectly suited to the small room where I have installed it, and produces natural, musical sound that simply stays out of the way of the music - very impressive performance for the modest price. It also has the look and feel of a well-made, durable product. Well done, Cambridge SoundWorks!" - Steve L.

"I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed the speakers that I purchased in May. I got your Ensemble II and they are fantastic. I have the (competition's speakers) at my vacation house, but the speakers I bought from you sound better. And what a price difference! I will be looking to you for all my future speaker needs. I will be moving later this year and intend to install a whole-house audio system and a home theatre system. Thank you." - John C.

"Ten years ago in 1992, I purchased your ensemble speaker/subwoofer set. I cannot tell you how happy I have been with the speakers. Their rich, full sound still please the ears to this day. Ten years later, having no idea if you even still existed, I am about to purchase some multimedia speakers. I'm glad you are still around." - Jeff R.

What Customers Say About Our Model Twelve Transportable Music System

I just returned for an annual camping trip and, of course, the highlight of the weekend is when I showed up with my Model Twelve. I've been bringing this amazing system with me for over 8 years and through rain, wind, heat and humidity this unit continues to deliver the most amazing, high quality, wide dynamic range sound, without a hint of distortion artifacts. Wide separation, crystal clear highs and deep base...all this in the woods outdoors! The unit is powered from a high capacity 12v gel cell and provides music for the entire weekend. Please keep producing this unit with the same ultra high quality construction and quality, resist the urge to cut corners! I plan on buying another for backup and just in case you discontinue it (heaven forbid). - A very satisfied customer.

"Cambridge SoundWorks makes the best traveling sound system I have ever heard (the Model Twelve) and I take it everywhere I go." - Flea, The Red Hot Chili Peppers

"For pure listening enjoyment on the road and often at home, I use the Cambridge SoundWorks Model 12. I've been carting this little gem with me for a few years now... the form factor is unsurpassed. When I get to my hotel, I pop it open, remove the speakers and amp, and plug any portable CD player or MP3 player in. [it's] a whole sound system with tremendous frequency response in one little package. I think the technological marvel of this system is the pure clarity and precision rendering of sound in such a small package. In fact, when we were finished recording "Say You Will," _there were days when I'd bring the Model 12 to Stevie's [Nicks] place and we'd make suggestions for subtle changes to the final record using the Model 12 as our "reference" monitors. You could say that this small speaker system played a pretty big part in the final sound of our newest album." Mick Fleetwood, co-founder of Fleetwood Mac (Best Stuff magazine, Fall 2003)

"Cambridge Model 12 portable speaker system...WOW! I've never heard better sound come from a portable unit like this. Simply blows away any boom box setup I've ever had. The BONUS is the bass you get from the carrying case, which is the subwoofer. If you enjoy satellite system sound, and you like having your tunes on the go, you can't beat this setup. I have it set up in my office most of the time. Thanks for the great service, guys. I'll be back." - William T.

What Customers Say About Our Ambiance In-Wall Speakers

"I purchased a pair of your in-wall speakers (the largest size, with an 8" woofer). I cannot believe how good they sound! The detail is incredible and the bass is strong. I recommend these to anyone who has space constraints but loves hi-fi sound." - Quigg F.

What Customers Say About Our Outdoor Speakers

"The Outdoors are awesome sounding, my neighbors thought I had a live band in the backyard!" - Happy customer

"I recently purchased a pair of your Outdoor speakers. I had done a lot of shopping around, listening to many outdoor units, even higher end units found in audio stores. Not wanting to invest a bundle of money in a seasonal item but wanting a brand known for quality, I purchased a pair of the Cambridge SoundWorks speakers, completely unheard. I have to say that the sound is wonderful. I can't honestly say that I have heard anything that sounds as good, even for lots more money. I was equally pleased by the sales and tech support that I received. Please, keep up the quality and service, as it is welcomed by this audiophile. Thank you" - Happy Customer
