SPEAKERS
Cambridge Soundworks PC Works
In the world of audio, you get what you pay for. Or do you? Cambridge Soundworks revisited that question and came up with a speaker system for $100 that should make some $250 systems nervous. And while this system lacks the deep, low-end punch and louder volume of its pricier sibling, the Microworks, it nonetheless delivers impressive PC audio and is easier on the wallet.
PC Works comes in the form of two small satellites and a woofer but these satellites are even more compact than those found on the Microworks. In a comparison with the Microworks, the PC Works' high end has comparable clarity and definition, though the PC Works' low end and maximum volume are clearly not as strong.
Gaming audio in shooters and flight sims is solid with more than adequate bass on explosions and a crisp high end, but the PC Works' somewhat constricted stereo imaging is much less perceptible.
Cambridge has created what may be the shape of things to come: A set of speakers for your PC that will more than fill the bill and not crimp your budget to pay for it.
