I spent a lot of time researching these speakers (MC50 & MC100) to create a 6.1 surround system. I bought six speakers direct from the manufacturer for $305 shipped. I was disappointed first off by the cheap quality and weight of the smaller satellites. The larger ones had a nicer look and feel but were much more money, $79 versus $55. Another thing I noticed right away was the sticker "made in china, ugh. I decided to give them a chance anyway. Mind you I was going from Polk Audio LS50s to these small satellites. The sound for playing music was awful, no feeling to it whatsoever. I hoped that it would at least give me some decent sound for movies but I never gave it a second chance. I ended up purchasing separate components from Polk Audio (6751 satellites and 6752 center channel). Wow, now that is the sound I was looking for. I did spend an additional $75 but am now pleased to no end.
Buyer beware, sample them for yourself before you purchase these speakers online.

I was looking for some small wall-mountable speakers to use in my 6.1 setup and did not want to spend the money for Bose. These speakers sound great, especially for their small size. They seem perfectly capable of handling high volumes levels without much distortion. Also, Cambridge has the best warranty out there. Very pleased.

i just bought a pair of these to complete my digital home theater, and theyre great! they produce great sound. i even have a lot of power pumping through them and it doesnt phase em. if youre looking for some really great surround, or even center or front, speakers and you dont want to spend that much cash, get these. you dont have to buy expensive bose speakers to have a great home theater. these are well worth the money.

These are phenomenal speakers. Maybe the best Ive heard. Impressive by itself, but Im blown away by how they sound when you have 3 play in unison. This audiophile will definitely consider more Cambridge Soundworks product.
