Product Description

Product Description

Don't be fooled by the Cambridge SoundWorks Ensemble III's small size and price. Its natural, balanced, wide-range sound rivals that of much larger, more expensive speakers. Each Ensemble III satellite is a two-way speaker (a bass/mid-range driver, a tweeter and a crossover). This two-way design lets the satellites play louder and handle more power. It also produces the wide dispersion pattern necessary for natural stereo imaging throughout a room. (Imaging exists when sound appears to come from between the two speakers.) Ensemble III's subwoofer cabinet encloses a long-throw 6 1/2-inch woofer. The woofer has dual voice coils, one for each stereo channel. It's mounted in a sealed acoustic suspension cabinet and fires into a tuned bandpass cavity that filters out high frequencies. It has very impressive deep bass -- far better than other systems in its price range.

Ensemble III was designed with smaller rooms in mind, making it perfect for apartment or small living room applications. A great choice for classical music lovers on a budget.

Charcoal, also available in White.

This review is from: Cambridge SoundWorks New Ensemble III Subwoofer/Satellite Speaker System, Charcoal (Electronics)

I've had these speakers for several years and they are a classic. Speaker designs tend to come and go, and it's great to see that Cambridge knows a good thing when they make it. There is nothing about the performance of these speakers that would lead one to suspect the low price-point. The best thing about the performance is that you would never know that the low-frequencies were coming from a separate box than the satellites. The overall effect is very cohesive. If you are in the market for a sub/sat system, the Ensemble III is a winner.
