These speakers offer a very decent level of sound quality and volume for a very low price. PCWorks consists of a pair of very small (less than 3 x 3 x 3) desktop.
Venomous: I started this thread with happy with my Cambridge Soundworks 2.1 set-up, but I'm sure I'll be happier with my current set-up. Cambridge met this need in November, 1999 with the SoundWorks Digital computer speakers. The Cambridge SoundWorks PCWorks is a compact, affordable self-contained, amplified speaker system that can be plugged into a portable CD player, home computer, TV, clock radio or boom box - anything with a headphone jack - for rich, beautiful sound, including terrific bass. If anyone is looking into a decent budget speaker, then the Alfa B1's seem really solid! I have to admit, the PSB Alfa B1's sounded damn fine for $200.00/pair. I ordered some cables from Monoprice this afternoon. Right now I'm running the BA M25's thru an older Nakamichi RE-10 receiver, but plan on moving my Marantz SR-4600 which I think will be smoother/softer then the RE-10.

The salesman said they a lot of stock on the Sienna finish. What's weird is the PSB Alfa B1's in the "Black Ash" was $49.99 more. I was almost going to pull the trigger on the PSB Alfa B1's in a nice "Sienna or Light Cherry finish" for $200.00/pair, but the Boston's sounded so damn good going thru a NAD intergraded amp the store. These are going for $299.00 each Crutchfield right now. They had two sets left (one was the demo) & they aren't planning on bringing the BA line in anymore (I still receive the 5-year warranty), hence the discount. State Street Discount (in Portsmouth, NH no sales tax BTW) is less then an hour from our home in Gloucester, MA. I paid $425.00/pair & I'm digging them already. Guys.I came home with a pair of Boston Acoustics M25's an hour or so ago.
