I was thinking why have they put that ugly blue pastic at the back, then I realised it was just a reflection of the TV

Absolutely loving these bad boys. £53.99 well spent.

They're replacing a 12 year old Cambridge Soundworks 2.1 set.

Are they really that good ?

I'm no audiophile but to me they sound fantastic, especially when compared to a lot of 5.1 sets I've heard. The reviews for them seem positive right across the board.

For 54 quid they're worth a go.

They are good, I've got my PC, stereo and turntable connected to them and they all sound fantastic!

Are you using on-board audio or have you got a dedicated soundcard?

I'll be picking up an Asus Xonar DG in the next couple of days, even though my motherboard is supposed to have great on-board audio.

^Are those speakers self powered or do they need an amp/sub?

mrk · 23 Aug 2013 at 01:19

They're active speakers so self powered.

You won't regret it.

Mutt · 23 Aug 2013 at 01:34

They're still a bargain at £64. I doubt you'll get anything better in that price range.

I was on the brink of buying them for £78 but decided to wait a couple of days to see if the price would drop, and it did.

Easiest fix in the world, thanks to youtube. Just hold a soldering iron over the bottom black plastic of the screen to heat and reseat the glue and the screen fixes itself. Then used 2000 grit paper on the plastic screen cover and polished the scratches out.

Absolutely no value in doing this with something thats £15 on eBay for a perfect working order unit but good satisfaction fixing up a tech item that next year will be a QUARTER of a century old! Dont think my iPhone will see 5 years in service, let alone 25.
