![]() Two months ago, for $240, a local thrift shop had these for sale as part of a Cambridge Soundworks package that included these towers, a center speaker, two surround speakers, a powered subwoofer, and a 6.1 Yamaha receiver. Instead, I'd invested in the usual 5.1 surround sound systems, and I own quite a few audiophile headphones and earphones. I should mention that I haven't owned full sized speakers since my beloved Yamaha system back in my 1980's and 90's Marine Corps days. It doesn't hurt that they are also good looking and expensive looking, to go along with their quality build. The sound! It's warm, but clear and detailed too. I wish there was more information online about Cambridge Audio and these Tower Series. You could get away without using an EQ, because they're very balanced and not harsh at all to listen to. You can tell that Henry Kloss designed them having owned more pairs of KLH than I can count and various AR speakers through the years. I have them located in-between two rooms in a basement so there's plenty of room in front and more than 25ft behind each tower. ![]() I'd say they create a larger soundstage than our dipole speakers. The soundstage these speakers create is impressive and extremely wide. Found the bass to be lacking a bit so a powered subwoofer is a must. These speakers are not fatiguing at all to listen to. The $400 that I paid was for both towers, a center channel, and a massive BassCube15 subwoofer that's humming so it will need repair. Picked up a pair of (CSW Tower I) in South Lyon, MI yesterday that look like they were kept inside of a time capsule.
