"Great sound without the hassle"
Pros: Crisp sounds, excellent bass, easy set-up, great input options
Cons: Volume knob slow response, needs back lit remote.
Summary: I have two other surround sounds systems in my house, one in my family room 5.1 DD one in my basement 7.1 DD and love them. When I decided to buy a 32inch LCD for my master bedroom I had to get a good DVD player and was looking for surround as well but didnâ??t want to hang all kinds of speaker wires and have speakers hanging on the wall next to my bed. After doing some research between the Denon, Bose, and Boston setups I took my chances and ordered the Cambridge not being able to hear it. I must say I am very impressed in every way this unit. The set up was as simple as could be and I was able to also hook my DVR and my laptop into it for audio sources. I dropped in a few test movies to see how it sounds compared to my other systems. The POD race scene from Episode 1 was very impressive, the thundering bass from Sabulaâ??s POD was awesome. The surround was a surprise to me. I was not expecting to perform as well as it actually did. I felt like I had speakers all around the room, as the PODS zoomed by. I also tested on a good battle scene from LOTR The two towers. Again I was convinced there were Urikai all around me swinging there axesâ?¦ I also decided to test on a live concert of Norah Jones. I actually felt as if I was in the middle of the house of blues watching the DVD, very very immersive surround for only being a single speaker unit with three speakers. The little subwoofer it comes with is amazing..I have had to turn it down so as to not over power. I have a large master bedroom with cathedral celings and was worried the sound would get sucked into the void of space. IT DOESNâ??Tâ?¦â?¦.very very impressive system. I would recommend to anyone who is confined or just does not want to hang speakers and run wiresâ?¦.!!!
