Summary: 3+ years and still going strong
Review: ...not very loud, and the sub tends to get boomy. other than that, best sound for the money(still is). perfect "hi-fi" for a student living in a dorm...took it to a friend's home with a portable cd player. my friend laughed at my portable gimmicky stereo at first. they weren't laughing anymore when they heard it playing.

Summary: SoundWorks, Good quality for a low price
Review: After comparing sound quality in many computer speaker systems at an electronic retail store, I purchased the Cambridge Sound Works 100PC system. In the price range that I was considering, these speakers actually sounded as good as the more expensive Yamaha speakers and only slightly less powerful than the much more expensive Altec Lansing system. At home the CSW100PC performs even better than in the store where accustics leave much to be desired. Disappointed I am NOT in these little beauties.The Subwoofer provides ample power and limited distortion at all but the highest levels, and the matching of Subwoofer to sattelite speakers is flawless in my environment. I placed the subwoofer on a stand up off the floor to limit vibration and distortion. In my opinion, the CSW100PC can't be beat by anything in it's price range, and by most in a higher price range. **** It's a keeper.****

Summary: Too many wires makes for a good radio antenna...
Review: As soon as I plugged in the speaker system, I heard a radio station playing loud and clear, unaffected by the volume control or whether the speakers were connected to the computer. It is not even a station I like! The tech people sent many suggestions, none of which have helped. Essentially, there are too many wires, as the volume control has a seperate loop all to itself (as opposed to being part of one of the speakers). Too bad, because the sound is excellent for the price. Unfortunately, it has to compete with a loud, scratchy radio signal which ruins the effect. The tech support people seemed to know about this - makes one wonder...

Summary: Good for computer, not for music
Review: Don't expect to get the sound that other pays thousands are getting. NO WAY! One FEET of a high-end audio speaker cable is more expensive than these, and rightfully so. However, I have to say the Cambridge Soundworks speakers definitely have to be the best in all the computer speakers I have ever used and tried.As an ex-Hi Fi reviewer, this would be the verdict: In terms of 'Hi Fi Audio', these cute little plastic box score a great 'F'. In terms of practicality and useability for COMPUTER sound production, I would give it an 'A'. I think that's fair now.

Summary: Excellent for the small room
Review: During my first ever trip to compusa, I was a awestruck by the sounds that the speakers on display were producing. On closer examination i figured that it was this set of speakers which had me overwhelmed. I had to buy it and so i did some time later- what definitely struck me was the price. The more important thing however is how it might sound in your college dorm room or your study which has the computer. The likely situation is that you are going to postion these speakers next to your monitor with the subwoofer somewhere below it. Thats what i did- the sound is awesome - it is very very rich. I was and still am absolutely in love with the product. However a work of caution: as you go further and further away from the speakers, the depth does fade a little. so dont plan to have this substituting your music system. But for playing games and listening to stuff on the computer, unless you have a lot of money to spend unnecesarilly, this is all you need. Volume is pretty good- i did manage to have a successful dance party using these speakers in my study!

Summary: "Where did you get those!"
Review: Everyone that comes into my office and hears these speakers wants a set! They take up no desk space to speak of, and sound fabulous. The only problem, I can't play them as loud as I want in the office! Don't hesitate to purchase these little jewels; you will not regret it. Heck, get a set and use them with a portable CD player if nothing else!

Summary: Don't buy these speakers!
Review: Everytime the speakers are plugged in and the power is on, I pick up distortion -either a small crackling sound or a low level radio signal. So anytime I play stuff with these speakers, I can still hear that low level sound. I had to completely disconnect the left speaker because it was picking up a radio station even when the volume was at its lowest. These speakers are NOT Cambridge Soundworks quality. If you want good speakers, its worth spending the extra bucks to get real sound.

Summary: Good speakers for the buck
Review: For the money I paid for these speakers, I am extremely satisfied with them. They sound great, they can fit anywhere on my desk no matter what kind of clutter I have on there, and they can crank a little if you want them to. I found the quality to be very crisp and they were close to rivalling my shelf system in sound quality. If you're looking for good speakers without a 3 digit price tag, get these. They will please your ears and your wallet.
