Cambridge SoundWorks CSW MicroWorks

Pros: Awesome quality for the price, can turn up very loud, rich and warm sound, fairly compact
Cons: No jack on the speakers for a headphone, simplistic volume control

Armed with 2 tiny cubes and a subwoofer, this system will blow you away! I first read about the Cambridge Soundworks "Soundworks" speakers in PC World magazine and decided that I would like to buy it. (This is the "SoundWorks"...

Pros: Booming sound from a small unit
Cons: Auto power off for the subwoofer

I purchased this product because of the reviews I read in stereo review magazine. Setting up the unit was a breeze. Anyone can do it. The unit has a master volume placed inbetween the input connector and the connection to the speakers. There is also a...

Pros: Sound, size, and once again sound
Cons: none

Want hi-fi from your PC? I am an audiophile who needed to simplify my hardware so I could move to San Francisco. My component system is still back east, and I look forward to having it, but thanks to these speakers I really don't need it. I have yet...

Pros: Fantastic Sound Quality
Cons: NO REGRETS!

I have had my CSW Microworks for 2 years now-if you are serious about audio, and work or play on your computer extensively, these are the speakers for you. I have used cheap $5 speakers, inexpensive $25 speakers, and the smaller PC Works CSW speaker...

Pros: Excellent overall Sound, Great Bass.
Cons: Price.

Great Highs and Bass. Great compact design. Price is high, but if you want cheap, then buy $20 speakers and don't complain. I've had "cheapo" speakers and liked them,....until now. The Cambridge Microworks are an older series, but still KICK Butt!!!! I'm...

Pros: Unbelieveably clear sound, accuracy, natural fluid sounding bass, 2 miniplug inputs, attractive with black monitor
Cons: Only 2 satellites means no surround, AC cord bulky, may sound over-bright to some

I purchased these speakers over a year ago now, after having had a set of the PCWorks speakers beforehand. I read some rather superlative reviews on the Hifi.com website (CSW's direct site.) In fact I ordered them directly from them. One would be ...

Pros: Great speakers by a great company
Cons: None that I know of (Except price if purchased retail) - But they're worth every penny.

Alright, here's the story. I was shopping on E-Bay one day, and saw these awesome speakers for $80 with the auction almost closed... what a deal! They were refurbs from the factory, but still.... and they had a 10-year warranty. So I purchased them,...

Pros: Great Bass, clear sounding, high output, quality, price
Cons: No AC3, no Dolby Pro Logic

What can I say?? These speakers are going for $150 on hifi.com right now, that's $100 off. And for all the notoriety the CSW speakers get, this set has the most powerfull sub and satelites they have to offer in their multimedia line.

In...

Pros: Incredible performance at a fantastic price.
Cons: None

I am writing this listening to my brand new Cambridge Soundworks speakers. Incredible! These list at $250.00 but hifi.com has them for half that. These sound as good or better than the Bose surround system on my main audio unit. You get everything...

Pros: Only speakers you will ever need.
Cons: Sub is BIG!

For $99, I though i'd give this set a try. Boy, was I in for a shock. The small, 3" satalight speakers blew me away, along with the 4 foot tall sub. The windows rattled as I started playing some trance music.

One problem that this set has...

Pros: Huge sound, tight and powerful lows, perfectly voiced high frequencies, flat out cheap
Cons: None

I own all three of the 3 piece subwoofer/satellite systems from Cambridge SoundWorks and this is by far the best. I have one for my computer and one for my TV. The MicroWorks adds almost another dimension to the already great sounding PC Works and...

Pros: Best Sound available
Cons: Featureless

I must confess that I do not own a CSW Microworks system. I purchased the CSW Digital Desktop Theater simply because I wanted a home theater experience. I highly recommend that system (read my review), by the way. However, my roommate last year had a...

Pros: Great sound, full bass, excellent price
Cons: Musicworks unit is inconvenient

The Cambridge MusicWorks 300 minisystem includes the MicroWorks speakers packaged with a console which has a single CD, AM/FM, and a remote. I needed a small system with big sound and this one fit the bill nicely (at under $280). Well, it ain't a Bose...

Pros: Incredible value, stereo imaging, size, frequency response
Cons: Stereo only, bass isn't terribly accurate, treble extension

I live just a few blocks from a Cambridge Soundworks store, so over the years I've become quite familiar with their products. The MicroWorks system has been available from them for quite some time - indeed, I expect them to be phasing it out of...
