Cambridge SoundWorks Selects Holiday Gifts for Under $200 |
| NEWTON, Mass., Nov. 6
/PRNewswire/ -- There are many options in audio gifts for family and friends and they
don't have to cost a fortune, says Tom Hannaher, resident audio expert at Cambridge
SoundWorks. Hannaher believes the variety of audio gifts will aid more than 78 percent of households expected to purchase consumer electronics gifts this season according to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). Among affordable gifts worth considering Hannaher says are mini-stereo systems that are both compact and affordable, PC audio speakers that transform the PC into an entertainment 'haven' and outdoor speakers, a unique gift idea. -- Mini-Stereo Systems Offer Great Sound, Great Value and Ease of
Placement. Mini-stereo systems are ideal for those looking for big
sound on a small budget - and do not have a lot of space for a larger
system. The MusicWorks(TM) 200 mini-stereo is one example. It
features an AM/FM/CD center section, compact cube speakers and a
powered subwoofer for realistic bass. The compact center section and
small speakers can easily fit on a desk, while the powered subwoofer
can be hidden in a corner or behind furniture. ($179.99)
-- PC Speakers Turn Desktops into Home Entertainment Centers. As more
consumers look to their PCs as a central source of entertainment, many
are investing in multimedia speakers to improve audio quality. The
MicroWorks(R) Multimedia System is representative of today's high
performance systems. It features a 67-watt amplifier, delivering the
acoustic performance of a home stereo with great bass. It can be
attached to the PC or connected to anything with a headphone jack, such
as an MP3 player, boombox, or a portable CD player to create a mini-
home system. ($149.99)
-- Subwoofers Pump up Home Audio. Subwoofers can provide a cost-effective
way to improve music and movie soundtracks. The Cambridge SoundWorks
BassCube 8S reproduces bass accurately (and loudly) down to 39Hz. The
BassCube 8S delivers great bang for your buck and is a stylish addition
to a home entertainment system. ($179.99)
-- Outdoor Speakers are a Unique Audio Gift Alternative. "Outdoor speakers
are one of our most popular gift items for the holidays," says
Hannaher. The Outdoor(R) 42 All-Weather Speakers, for instance, are
outfitted in a tightly sealed, moisture resistant calcium-filled
polypropylene enclosure. This means they can be placed anywhere
outside, even near water, and won't damage from the elements. They are
efficient enough for loud play, even in unenclosed spaces and come in a
paintable white finish. ($199.99)
