Pros: Near-perfect audio reproduction. Small size, yet sounds better than a system 5 times its price.
Cons: Speaker stands can fall over. Assembly required.

| Nivek's Full Review: Creative Technology FPS2000 4 Speakers |
Oh. My. God. These 3 words describe the way I feel about these Cambridge SoundWorks speakers. Picking up the large box at the store, I couldn't stop smiling. I new that when I plugged these babies in, I would be able to brag to everyone. After paying the cashier 200 dollars, the smile faded a little.
As soon as I was home, I ripped open the box, to find myself entangled in confusion. It took me a good hour to assemble everything, but it was well worth it. I assembled the speaker stands, a somewhat tedious task. The speakers only come with 2 stands, but that was fine for me.
Well, the rear speakers fall down every time you breath near them, and to make it even more annoying, you have to reconnect the stands.
Enough about the bad, listen to the good...
These speakers sound breathtaking. I am not trying to overrate them, but words can not describe these speakers. With the subwoofer, the speakers are never over-powered. If you are lucky enough to have a digital sound card, simply plug the connector in, and you have static free audio. Great, isn't it?
It wasn't in my case. I had a digital output on my sound card, but it wasn't the correct adapter. I simply called Cambridge Soundworks, and in 6 days, an adapter was at my door, free of charge. If only more companies supported their products the way Cambridge does, the world would be a better place.
A small note: You must have a four-channel sound card, such as the Sound Blaster Live! to have 4 different channels of audio. (or use a splitter)
I will buy from Cambridge again, and I advise you to.
