spaces and provide room-filling bass. The adjustable legs can be mounted in such a manner as to orientate the subwoofer horizontally or vertically - a unique feature - whilst the built-in 300 watt amplifier should be more than sufficient.

Sound. I can’t fault these speakers for sound.

Sound. I can’t fault these speakers for sound. They produce a meaty sound which makes explosions roar and are detailed enough so that you can pick out every crunch and chime from the shattering of glass. Music sounds bright and has depth. The bass box can be adjusted and its big sound blends with the other speakers. The Tannoys are loud enough to easily fill your room with sound or even have you pinned to the back wall. These speakers never sound small or weak.

Verdict.
You can’t really go wrong with these speakers, sound wise they are stunning however their unconventional look is not to every ones taste.
Advantages: Compact size and astounding looks with excellent quality Disadvantages: None, unless the envy of friends counts!
Hi,
This is a great product for those with a small to medium room who want a great surround experience without compromising Hi-Fi Stereo use too.
The subwoofer is one of very few I have heard which is able to truely blend with and complement the main speakers. (Most subs at this price point just shout 'HEY I'M A REALLY CHEAP SPEAKER AND I'M OVER HERE'!!)
The build quality is just astounding, especially the Bronze finish. The floor stands (optional ... ...sound. They really deserve to be partnered with a top quality amp (something with a true stereo mode to really get the best out of them).
I used to work in a high end Hi-Fi shop so have heard way more expensive sytems that didn't sound close to as good as these. People could never quite believe what they were listening to. You owe to yourself to hear these speakers.
Enjoy!. ...

the truely great TannoyArena speaker system. It looks fabulous, sounds even better and its not made of tacky plastic.
You can add a descent surround amp and player or even a media center (look at Cambridge Audio) and never look back at this awful piece of tat and wish you'd bought it! ...

Advantages: Excellent value for money, great sound. Disadvantages: Some will miss HDMI but see review on this subject.
believed them to make the best LCD TV's. But not by this margin - it really was night & day. So I started to look around for what the source was and how it was connected. The picture was coming from a streaming media player (unlikely to be the source of the difference) but they were all connected by good quality component video cables. Eureka! All the inferior picture sets were using HDMI. Hardly an empiracle result but worthy of further investigation, me feels).
Oh, I digress again. My fingers are over active today!
Back to the Cambridge. It really deserves some good (or better) speakers, and yet again I suggest the TannoyArena System. This is the combination I have heard the Cambridge with for many hours and it sounds great, never fatiguing, always more than pleasant. When the amp is switched into its stereo mode it really comes alive ...
