Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Theater MC300.5 and Marantz SR5500 6.1 Channel Dolby Digital Home Theater Receiver

"Please note: The White version of this system includes white main and rear speakers, with a slate colored subwoofer and center channel speaker. We don't know of any other surround sound speaker system that so perfectly balances high style and high fidelity. The speaker system starts with three matching Newton Series MC300 speakers in an L-C-R (Left-Center-Right) format. A compact but powerful speaker, the MC300 uses two 4-inch midrange drivers and a 1-inch reinforced silk-fabric dome tweeter. Its MTM (Midrange-Tweeter-Midrange) design produces a robust, wide-range, well-dispersed output with outstanding musical accuracy. The MTM array results in smooth, seamless transitions across the home theater's soundstage. The two Newton Series S300 rear surround speakers are tonally and stylistically matched to the MC300s, and reproduce surround effects or rear-channel music signal with outstanding accuracy. A 3-way, 4-driver surround speaker, the S300's MultiPole implementation offers three dispersion patterns for optimum performance with any surround sound program material. The Dipole mode provides a diffuse dispersion pattern that seems to be coming ""from all directions."" The Bipole mode retains the broad dispersion of the Dipole mode, but adds a center focus ideal for synthesized surround applications. Monopole (direct) mode employs a front panel-mounted two-way system of superb fidelity for precise rear speaker imaging on programs featuring a larger amount of complex rear channel sound (like many DTS or Dolby Digital concert recordings and soon-to-be-available DVD-Audio recordings). The modes are chosen via a convenient selector on the underside of the speaker enclosure. The P500 Powered Subwoofer is one beautiful beast of a subwoofer. Very similar to the awesome P1000, it uses two 8-inch woofers and a 500-watt B.A.S.H. amplifier. The Newton Subwoofer Control Modul
