If he hasn't, too bad for him, because he's missing out on a great speaker. I really wonder if the one guy earlier has even heard this speaker.

I recommend people learn a little more about the products they are using and how to set them up before they start badmouthing and writing poor reviews. Not too boomy like others I have heard, just good sounding, solid bass. Anything from classical to Big Band to Rock it handles well. I have it matched with the New Ensemble's and it just rocks. To my surprise excellent for music, also.
I could not believe the bass this thing puts out. The first five minutes of the Matrix was the seller for me. Hey, if not set up right it will bottom out, too. If you don't know how to properly adjust your $1500 Velodyne sub it's not going to sound so hot either. Really, if you know what you are doing when you set this thing up, I don't think any subwoofer in this price range($400) comes close. I have used it for over 4 months now and have not had a problem or one bit of bottoming out. Highly recommended.I feel sorry for the people at Cambridge Soundworks for the bad reviews this speaker this is getting.
In the meantime,I will continue to enjoy my toys. I am in the process of mating these bad-boys with a subwoofer(specifically the CS Basecube 10). I can honestly say these larger models are even better. I owned the smaller Surround II dipoles,and they have received some positive reviews. The terminals are gold-plated binding posts and except quite a few varieties of wire terminations.
WHAT HAPPENED TO CAMBRIDGE SOUNDWORKS DRIVERS
I say interesting because you can view the drivers thru their dust covers. If you remove the grills there are two 2 1/2" mid-drivers on both sides of the cabinet. Anyway,I enjoy the fact that these speakers can convince me that peripheral sound can be one of the most difficult theories to understand. Maybe,Cambridge Soundworks should have left the option available(and maybe they have). I have no doubt they are good performers. My opinion is this DD and DTS craze is not a valuable reason to concentrate more efforts on bipole speakers,especially for use in surround systems. The only disappointment I have is that these now discontinued speakers were replaced by The Surround 5.1s(at least they are not listed in the latest CS catalogs). The Surround dipole speakers are not any different. I can't remember the last time I was disappointed with any product that was designed by Henry Kloss. Them in favor of convential direct radiating speakers. They are small enough to wall mount without freaking out your significant other.īeing a big fan of the Departed Henry Kloss, It''s a shame that at the end of the day I have to recommend against The grills are metal, so they ought to be highly durable speakers. The build quality is good, like most Cambridge Soundworks products. They mark them as refurbished, but they are in fact brandnew. If you still have your heart set on Dipole/Bipole technology, then these are a great value at $100/pair on ebay direct from Cambridge soundworks. Do not be fooled in thinking you can flip the bipole/dipole switch on the front of these I ended up returning these for a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 1s, which blow these out of the water in term of frequency response and clarity.

This works well on Dolby prologic tracks to create rear ambience, but it ruins DVD-audio when you want precise full channel sound from every speaker.
These Bipole/dipole speakers have opposing tweeters pointed side ways to create diffuse sound. Of Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS, or DVD-audio. The Cambridge Soundworks Surround speakers are great if you live inĭolby prologic world and have never heard
