5.0 out of 5 stars Great speakers, September 25, 2002

I purchased these speakers a few months ago, and each time I listen to them I'm amazed by the quality. Believe me, size does not matter when it comes to these speakers. I was skeptical that I could get great sound out of little speakers like these, but they won me over. I have other bookshelf speakers that I paid a lot for, and they don't hold a candle to the Cambridge Soundworks M50s.

The Newton M50's from Cambridge SoundWorks are top-notch speakers. I was forced to go out and buy new booklshelf speakers when my old and much out of date pair had decided to retire. I bought these, really more for the look and the fact that they were suttle and would hide fairly well in a room. Well, I have been more than pleased with the execptional sound these speakers release. I love them. Such great sound from such a small speaker... and yes, they do hide well in a room

These are very respectable speakers for their price. They have a nice overall sound, ever so slightly boomy in the bass range due to their ported design, and a little raspy treble in some situations, but overall a non-fatiguing clear and accurate straightforward sound. I used them as office speakers for a long time and they did the job well. They were replaced by a pair of vintage ADS L10's, and the M50's now serve as rear channels in the living room, where they are probably overkill for the job, but blend in very nicely with their great sound.

While I would not personally purchase speakers on the basis of looks, I can especially recommend these if you're looking for good sound in a well-designed and stylish package. You can find better speakers even in this price range, but the styling of these and the real wood cabinets is a real advantage.
