I control EQ on the PC, so was tempted for the monitor approach (I also do occasional recording/streaming, but not enough to overly worry about). I also have a Scarlett Solo under the desk, so could use that for output, if it makes any difference to anything (maybe using monitors?), but I use that for headphones (switch my audio out on the pc to the Scarlett when I want to headphones, so I don't need to plug anything in. The satellite speakers are also connected with arbitrary speaker wires - another must. I currently have the sub sat behind me with an extension cable for the volume control (which goes into the sub), and so need to be able to extend cables between speakers and the sub with ease, static cables won't do, which rules out most Logitech stuff. I've been looking for alternative speakers which always seem to fail one requirement, usually the cable to the sub. Like many, this setup has served me incredibly well for probably 25 years, the volume knob can't easily be replaced, since the original pots are impossible to find, but I'm nearly tempted to fashion a new enclosure for a new volume control.

Įventually, Cambridge SoundWorks manufactured over 60 different models of home stereo, home theater, multimedia speakers and assorted electronics products. In 1997 Cambridge Soundworks was bought by then Creative Labs. The unique selling formula developed in its first store proved successful and eventually spawned the opening of 30 showrooms in New England and metropolitan San Francisco. This made it one of the first companies to sell consumer electronics on the Internet. In 1994 it sold its first products on the Internet, using the CompuServe network. In 1991, the company opened its first retail location in Newton, Massachusetts. Ĭambridge SoundWorks began offering its products (such as the Ensemble I, II, and III satellite speaker systems) by catalog and multi-page magazine advertisements. From its inception, the company's success was significant and its products received critical acclaim. It was founded with the specific mission to design and manufacture well-priced, high quality, high performance loudspeakers and audio products to be marketed directly to the consumer.
