Home theater users who can't identify or place themselves in a "sweet spot" will not miss out on panoramic audio action since sound is distributed evenly throughout the listening environment. The inherently broad and uniform dispersion of the MC600 HD's design makes speaker placement less critical. Also their "dual wall" construction, essentially an enclosure within an enclosure, further eliminates the effect of any internal vibrations. Because these rigid cabinets vibrate less, they reduceĬabinet-induced distortion. This rigidity guarantees a very stable baffle on which to mount its drivers. The outer structure of the MC600 HD speaker is a pressure-cast aluminum housing, which offers greater rigidity than plastic, MDF or extruded aluminum enclosures. The result is dynamic, high definition sound and superb realism. Their low-mass diaphragms deliver lightening fast audio transient response, enabling them to track the most intricate audio signals nearly perfectly.

Each Newton Series MC600 HD speaker employs four 3.5 inch midrange/woofers, which are unique designs developed for this speaker and application only.

Large drivers also do not offer dispersion patterns that are as broad or uniform. Due to their size and mass, larger drivers can compromise the clarity of the audio performance because they cannot react to the audio input signal as quickly or accurately as small and light drivers.
The slender and elegant Newton Series MC600 HD speakers are perfect for wall mounting next to flat panel TVs 40 inches and larger, and the slim Newton Series P300 HD powered subwoofer blends in seamlessly with today's modern home theater set-ups.Ĭambridge SoundWorks' audio engineers recognized that, just as HDTV requires smaller, more numerous pixels to create a high definition image, the highest resolution audio performance could only be obtained by using multiples of small diameter, low mass drivers.

The companion Newton Series P300 HD ($999.99/each) powered subwoofer also features a unique driver configuration, which virtually eliminates vibration - a principal source of distortion in subwoofers. The benefits of this speaker configuration are twofold: high resolution audio performance and uniform, wide dispersion, which immerses everyone in the audio action. Unlike other "flat panel" speaker offerings, which use a small number of relatively large drivers, each Newton Series MC600 HD ($499.99/each) loudspeaker uses multiple small and light drivers. Newton Series HD loudspeakers offer a visually elegant and exceptional home theater sound experience, at an affordable price. "We felt it was important to rise to this new standard and develop a series of stylish, high performance, high value loudspeakers that offer contemporary design and superior audio performance that are the perfect complement to HDTV technology." "Flat panel high definition television has raised the bar in terms of superior image quality and fashionable appearance," said Rob Mainiero, General Manager of Cambridge SoundWorks. Cambridge SoundWorks is a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative Technology Ltd (Nasdaq: CREAF). The Newton Series(R) HD Home Theater Loudspeaker series will be available for purchase in July at Cambridge SoundWorks' retail locations, at or by calling 1-800-FOR-HIFI. Opinions welcome.Cambridge SoundWorks Ships Newton Series(R) HD Home Theater Loudspeakers Combines Stylish Design, Versatility and High Definition Sound with Great Value to Enhance the HDTV Viewing Experience June 23, 2006Ĭambridge SoundWorks(R) today introduces its Newton Series(R) HD Loudspeaker line, a speaker series whose attractive style and sleek design, as well as audio performance, complement the elegance and video image quality of today's best flat panel TVs - at the best value possible. I was thinking about swapping in a Sony STR-DN1040 receiver in the first instance to see if theres any discernible difference in performance and if not then just go the whole hog and ditch the speakers for a new set. I'm considering upgrading but I'd be interested to hear if anyone has direct experience of them before I consign them to the attic / bin. Theses speakers are a few years old, released in 2002 and sold for about £270 each at the time. Measurement data on this speaker is available midway down the page at this link. Compared to my mates Linn Ninka / Arcam setup, they sound a bit tired.ĭrivers: 1" silk-dome tweeter, 4" molded-composite midrange cone, two 61/2" molded-copolymer midbass cones To a degree, I think the amp may be at fault, I would consider the TX-507 to be entry level. These speakers are more often used as centres so I was surprised at the muted performance in terms of dialogue during movies.
I don't really have too many reference points but I'm not happy with the performance of the speakers, particularly the centre channel.
