Cambridge Soundworks Megaworks 510D

When i got it, i opened the box, put it all together then noticed i needed a surround sound card for my pc...... So i thought F@%$in hell. Anyway, i had 5 head phone jacks i needed to plug into my pc but i only had one port on the pc, so wot i did was, on the surround sound i cut off all the connectores, i conected up the wires (red to red and blue to blue) then connected it back to one head phone connector. Which then i can plug into my pc. It sounds exactly the same even if i did have a surround sound card. Its a nice piece of kit this surround sound. The good things about it is: 1)Easy to put together. 2)The rear speakers has got a ...  Read the complete review

The Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 system is a great addition to any PC, it's okay having a top-spec computer but to fully appreciate the sound and music you need a decent sound system to go with it.

Admittedly I have one problem ...  Read the complete review

So you have a top spec pc with all of the added features?

Treble clarity has turned into ear-screeching pain. Its time for some new speakers and you know it! For those of you out there that upgrade your computer form time to time, this review is for you too. I am as guilty as the next man at neglecting both sides of the audio coin when it comes to computers. We are happy to spend £100 plus on a top rate sound card but more reluctant to match the payment on the ...  Read the complete review

This is an amazing speaker system with one major flaw. After a few hours (or minutes) depending on the volume you run at, this system will overheat and die. There is no thermo-couple that kills power to prevent a burn-up. Once it stops, it's dead. This problem could easily be fixed by making the power supply external or putting a thermo-couple in to kill the system when it overheats. Creative Labs is ignoring the problem and offering very little help. For myself, living in the Virgin Islands, they are offering nothing in the way of help except "ship the entire system back and we'll charge you for the repair"....The system died with less than ...  Read the complete review
