Product: Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 Digital Speakers
I bought these speakers because I was pleased with my Four Point Surround speakers (also from Cambridge Soundworks). I am almost completely pleased with the FPS2000. These speakers reproduce sounds beautifully considering their small size and relative low power. I have read other reviews that have reported poor sound quality from these speakers. I am at a loss as to why.
These speakers produce clean, crisp, punchy sound with respectable low end. The sound levels produced are more than adequate for most users. I use my computer for gaming, music recording and mastering, and just casual listening. In each case, these speakers have performed excellently. I feel that the power output could be greater though. Furthermore, the fader on the remote volume control is a good idea, but a separate volume control for the sub should have been included on this control as well. Also, the speaker stands are of questionable use. Other than these minor criticisms, these speakers are just great. Overall, for the price, I feel that these speakers can't currently be beaten. Find a friend who already has them and give them a listen. You won't be disappointed!
Out of 10 (1=worst, 10=best):
Sound Quality: 9.5 (these speakers do a lot of different jobs very nicely)
Controls: 9(separate sub volume control on main remote needed)
Price: 10 (Try find something better for this price)
Overall look: 9 (very nice, professional look)
Features: 9(lots of accessories included for attaching speakers)
OVERALL = 93%
PS. I hope this helps someone out there who is shopping for new speakers.
