The SurroundWorks 200's setup chores won't intimidate even the greenest of home-theater novices. The remote is pretty average overall our main gripe was that the tiny volume buttons should have been bigger and more accessible. Since it runs as cool as the proverbial cucumber, you can stash it inside a cabinet without fear of overheating. The 200 combines a single-disc CD/DVD player, an amplifier, and a receiver into one slim component measuring 2.5 inches high, 17 inches wide, and 14.5 inches deep. The matching gray subwoofer is a mere 11.2 inches high, 10 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, yet its little MDF (medium-density fiberboard) cabinet feels nice and solid. Rear keyhole slots allow for easy wall mounting. The speaker's concave front and side panels house special drivers, so to produce surround effects, you need to leave the sides unobstructed.

The single speaker measures 4.5 inches tall, 15 inches wide, and 7 inches deep-about the size of a compact center speaker in a full 5.1-channel speaker system. People buy single-speaker surround systems to save space, and the Cambridge SoundWorks SurroundWorks 200 system is commendably petite. Best of all, the 200 provides sound comparable to that of some of the best virtual-surround systems we've tested here at CNET. The company isn't kidding when it calls the SoundWorks simplified-hooking up the audio portion simply requires plugging in two color-coded wires.

They were worth the $259 plus $5 for shipping I paid though.Cambridge's "surround sound, simplified" system, the $1,000 SurroundWorks 200, features an A/V-receiver/DVD-player combo, a single compact speaker, and a powered subwoofer. I would never have paid $399 for these because I don't have the money. And never mentioned on reviews, DD with Halo. DTS is awesome, Saving Private Ryan and Cast Away. Supplies wall screws and those plastic pieces to hold firmly in drywall.
I chose the white to be less of a decor clash with my white walls. Speaker design is sophisticated in my opinion and less plain looking then the Klipsch SS-1's which I almost bought to match my SF-2's and SC-1. I mainly use it in Monopole (Direct) mode. Opted for the S300's instead of the S200's because 100-10Khz just isn't enough for music, and in my opinion for movies either (S300's are 80-22Khz). Went with the Multipole because if I was not satisfied I could sell them to my dad for his hometheater and after reading reviews about Polk FX300's and other similar speakers I decided to go with these because I heard them at Cambridge Soundworks and figured $399 pair for $259 would be worth it especially since they impressed me. I listen to a lot of music so with use of ProLogic II it seemed more practical to have bookshelves matching my floor speakers. I had trouble deciding which type of speaker I'd want for my surrounds. Been spending the last few months on building a decent setup, oddly enough only for my bedroom (12'x12').
