These state-of-the-art surrounds use MultiPole technology so they can be switched from dipole (diffuse radiation) to bipole (direct radiation) operation. Audiophiles will prefer to buy only a pair of Surround IV satellites ($100) and hook them to a Bass Cube 8 (not a bad deal, actually) to get a decent sound system that's *just* a little short of satisfying, but way ahead of the pack of $300 systems from Circuit City even this is a vast improvement over the barely adequate but non-audiophile subwoofer that comes with the Surround IV system. The Cambridge SoundWorks Surround 5.1 surround sound speakers feature more output than their smaller counterparts, the Surround II 5.1, and are suggested for use with most surround sound systems.

But if all you wanna do is rattle the windows with Rambo movie soundtracks, this will fill the bill better than anything in its price range. Cambridge SoundWorks SurroundWorks 200 Virtual Home Theater System Chris Chiarella Virtual surround is nothing new: Some people don't have the space, the know-how, or perhaps the ideal room layout for a pair of surround speakers for true 5.1-channel audio. The rub here is that the Surround IV sits *just* below the edge of being a decent system for budget audiophiles - the bass is *just* a little too thumpy and kicks in at a frequency that's *just* a little too high (about 250Hz), and the satellites have *just* enough of a smear and a mildly ragged treble to make this product fall *just* short of borderline high fidelity.

The small satellites are listenable, without the fuzzy, sizzling treble found in most products of this type and size the bass is good for home video, but music lovers who know what live instruments and voices actually sound like will be largely disappointed. And if you can get them on sale during one of CSW's frequent promotions, consider it a steal. If you take an overall rating of "3" as being average (although the "average" electronic store speakers don't even rate a "1", as far as that goes), then the Surround IV is a worthy 4.
