Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series MC55 Compact Center Surround Speaker- Each Consumer Report
Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series MC55 Compact Center Surround Speaker- Each Review by Steven
Bought these speakers as they are smaller and more compact than 2 way satellite speakers. This is a single full range speaker. The build quality is not amazing but is more than adequate especially for the price I would say it is just right. The driver is just a full range paper style driver but looks to be good quality and the cabinets are good quality. the grills are nice looking a hair flimsy if you were not careful with them but these are also such small speakers a lot of material isnt needed. I use these as rear surround speakers and tuned them with a sound meter at 85 decibels with all my speakers and now they produce nice full rear surround sound. These are supposed to be crossed over at 150hz or so but my receiver has only 1 setting for all speakers. having a center with dual 5.25 drivers and two tower speakers up front and a 12 inch subwoofer i did not want my crossover higher than 80hz or my subwoofer would get localized or boomy. When playing an actual bass sweep on the avia disc there begins to be a hole in the sound but the bass doesnt go away completely and for music, movies, and tv you cannot discern the difference at all. You can play 5 channel music at high levels and they dont work too hard at all. Having no tweeter i wondered how the highs would be for vocals and music but it is of no concern they only reach up to 16khz but I cannot really tell. I was very worried about the performance of these for there size but now I am not and the looks are just fantastic behind the couch on some sanus HTIB speaker stands. If you want bose style speakers that are unobtrusive for a rear surround sound like behind a couch this is the way to go. the back and sides of the speakers are very asthetically pleasing when mounted they are flat black and curved cabinets. I find many small satelites look good but the side and back are ok at best. and the sound is loud and does not distort at all even with a lower than recommended crossover setting the driver does not suffer from over excursion or distortion. These are a bit larger than bose cubes but also probably sound better because of it. This satisifed everything I wanted from a surround speaker and best of all it was 29.99 a speaker which is cheap enough for what your getting. I have bought and sold a lot of speakers always looking for more and I am not looking for more sound from these and love how they look in the home. An added bonus is the full range 3.5 driver i feel helps to provide a more diffuse sound when paired with your other speakers giving nice music fill and movie fill vs having a tweeter right behind your head this might actually be a good thing and they blend very well with my polk audio speakers.
Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series MC55 Compact Center Surround Speaker- Each Review by William P. Loiacano
These are a high quality speaker that don't take up much shelf space. Work fine without stands. Came well protected and very quickly. Great value and sound nice when combined with a good subwoofer.
Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series MC55 Compact Center Surround Speaker- Each Review by Lurchie (Boston, MA)
I'm a big fan of Cambridge Soundworks and these little guys deliver a great sound for a very reasonable price. Because of their size, they don't deliver a strong bass response, but pair them with a subwoofer, and you have an awesome sounding system. These also work very well as surround speakers.
The high and midrange response of these speakers is clean, crisp and tight. a great value for the money.
