![]() By the way, at extreme volume levels, the M80/MC500 combo was the only one that held together in my size room. With that size monitor, I would rather go with a tower. Tcable, I owned the M80's with the MC500's for a while, and it was my favorite combination of them all, but the M80's (while georgeous), were a little too big for me. I like the M60 bookshelves, but neither the MC400 or the MC500 was dead on for me. For example, I really love the T300 towers, but the matching center is the MC300, which in my opinion is too small of a center for the performance you get with those towers. I think for me, I couldn't get the right combination to meet my needs. I also had better success with M&K speakers as far as timbre, but they were too bright for me.ĭon't get me wrong, I really like CSW and I am being really overly nitpicky with my criticisms. It is not a fair comparison, but now I own Monitor Audio Gold speakers (GR10, GRLCR, and GRfx) which are in whole different price level. They don't have a huge following here since they are mainly a New England and Northern California brand (that's where all their stores are) but they offer free shipping and are certainly worth an audition. ![]() There are some smart guys who work at CSW including Bob Hazlewood who worked for ADS and Apogee (the ribbon guys not the pro audio guys) among others. They are a about twice the size of the Mod2 and about 4 times the weight if that's important. B-Stock (which is really A-Stock, PM for details) make the deal even sweeter. I think it best to cross over at 100hz to get the ultimate output capability from them as two 4" mid-woofs are huffin' and puffin' to reach 80. They are very easy to listen to for long hours: the octave to octave balance (a CSW hallmark since the days of the late and great Henry Kloss) is very smooth. Compared to the Orbs I would term the sound a little rounder and softer on the high end, and slightly to the warm side of neutral (whereas the Orbs are a little on the brighter side of neutral). I have a setup similar to that one: it includes 5 MC300s, two MC200s for the back surrounds, and dual NHT U1 subs for the bass. If the sub is placed away from a wall and produces too little bass, you can boost output for full, rich low-frequency sound. If you place the sub in a corner and it produces too much bass, you can cut the output. You choose an equalization "center point" anywhere between 20Hz and 60Hz, and then adjust output up or down 6dB in that range. It also allows you to equalize the output of the subwoofer to match your room acoustics. The module allows you to adjust both the subwoofer output level and the crossover frequency (variable from 50Hz to 150Hz). Connect the Module to your amplifier or receiver using either line outputs, speaker wire outputs or the subwoofer output of a Dolby Digital® receiver. The separate Subwoofer Control Module used by Newton Series powered subwoofers gives you ultimate control and wiring flexibility. You can even adjust bass output using an infrared remote controlno more crawling on your knees to adjust bass when you switch from music to movies! The P1000 competes in performance and features with exotic subwoofers selling for twice its price and more. ![]() The Cambridge SoundWorks Subwoofer Control Module keeps the controls and connections conveniently near your equipment. The cabinet encloses an awesome 1,000-watt B.A.S.H.® (Bridged Amplifier Switching Hybrid) digital amplifier and dual 10-inch subwoofer drivers. Yet the P1000's richly finished cabinet is only 15.5" x 15.25" x 14". The P1000 Powered Subwoofer is one beautiful beast of a subwoofer-capable of rock-solid, ultra-high-output bass response down to 22Hz.
