Cambridge SoundWorks followed up its well-received Newton HD speakers with a sequel line on Wednesday, the Newton Series II. The company claims it massaged the original speakers with new materials, refinements, and updated aesthetics.
Rather than using paper or plastic for the Newton II woofers, Cambridge SoundWorks reached into the exotic materials pile and came up with Kevlar, which it claims produces a stiff, light cone that operates over a wider range with less distortion and more midrange articulation. The company also substituted aluminum for plastic on the new dome tweeters, which supposedly produces a higher level of detail. All of the new speakers can be finished in either midnight black satin or cherry.
The entire Newton Series II line is available directly from Cambridge SoundWorks, including floor speakers, surround speakers, in-wall speakers, center speakers, and powered subwoofers. Prices for individual components range from $49.99 up to $999.99.
