Customer Rating: 
Summary: Excellent "Value" Speakers
Comment: I give these speakers my strongest endorsement. While the
Maxim "you get what you pay for" is generally true, I felt I got *way* more than my money's worth with these.
The sound quality is amazing, especially for the money. The set up is easy, and there is plenty of wire to put the speakers any reasonable distance from your computer.
Customer Rating: Summary: Why bother spending more on speakers when it's only a PC?
Comment: Not wishing to spend a large amount of money on my PC's computer speakers but not liking the factory speakers included on my computer I took a leap of faith and purchased the Cambridge 3-Piece system because of its low price compared to some of the units out there.
The system includes a large woofer and 2 tweaks that can extend up to 4-5 feet. The volume is controlled by a switch attached to the speaker's wires that can stretch 2-3 feet. The bass is controlled by the back of the woofer and overall installation of the speakers is very easy.
It's amazing how much high quality sound I get from these speakers when running my computer's DVD player. Even with 3 speakers, the sound still gives you the movie theater feeling of having the sound go from left to right. I own a large TV but still prefer to watch some DVDs on my 19" monitor because of the sound quality from the Cambridge speakers. (On a side note, recently I tried hooking up the speakers to my DVD's headphone jack and it worked giving me a cheap speaker system. The speakers are powered by themselves so they increase the sound from your dvd movie to whatever volume or bass level you like.)
I also own a large amount of PC games and if you're an avid gamer you have no idea what you're missing by not having a quality speaker system. Many of today's PC games were meant to have not only a good sound card but excellent speakers that allow the user to appreciate the sound that the programmers meant to be a part of the game's atmosphere. Some games are scarier, more exciting, etc. with a good set of speakers such as this.
You can buy better speaker systems than this but why bother with more speakers until they invent affordable computer screens that stretch a few feet. The 3-piece Cambridge system is more than enough for anything you may use on your PC.
