![]() It was designd for a Soundblaster Live of ages past, and while the speakers are still functioning just fine, the receiver is showing it's age in terms of input and surround decoding capabilities. I've been using for AGES now, a Cambridge soundworks DTT3500 5.1 system. So I've been looking to upgrade my speaker system piecemeal style. ![]() No posts on products or items that are not diy relatedīuying or Selling of equipment goes to /r/avexchangeįull Rule list here Check out our sister subs /r/diytubes for vacuum tubes and /r/headphonemods for headphone DIY! r/synthDIY for all your DIY robot tone needs r/vinylpro and /r/vinyl for turntables and shellac spinnery r/budgetaudiophile Affordable stuff you can't build r/audiophilemusic Music for your system and your ears r/diysound is the right place for diy speakers etc r/diyaudioswap Have parts, skills, or projects that you'd like to sell or trade? r/diytubes Discussion of vacuum tubes and their uses r/audioengineering Recording, editing, and producing r/headphones All topics related to headphones r/audiophile Quality audio reproduction of all forms.

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. 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 ![]()
