Great Audio Gift Ideas - Big Sound, Small Price Tags
Table Radio, Mini-Stereo System or Sound for the PC

Newton, MA — - There are many options in audio gifts for family and friends and they don't have to cost a fortune, according to Tom Hannaher of Cambridge SoundWorks.

Among gifts worth considering Hannaher says is a table radio that offers 'big system' sound, a mini-stereo system that is both compact and affordable, and PC audio speakers that transform a PC into an entertainment system. See http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com.

"People who want great sound without the size or bother of a component stereo system can look to all-in-one sound systems like the Cambridge SoundWorks Model 88CD® table radio," says Hannaher, Cambridge SoundWorks' vice president of merchandise. "It sounds more like a component stereo system costing thousands of dollars." ($349.99)

The Model 88CD achieves its 'big system' sound because it's the only tabletop radio to house a three-speaker system, including a powered subwoofer. It features an AM/FM tuner, CD player, and advanced electronics. Fitting easily on a table or bookshelf, it's the perfect addition to an office, study, living room, bedroom, or kitchen.

The MusicWorks™ 200 mini-system offers big sound on a budget. It features an AM/FM/CD center section, compact cube speakers and a powered subwoofer for realistic bass. ($199.99)

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. The MusicWorks 200 is smaller than the smallest shelf system, but sounds bigger than the biggest shelf system.

"As more consumers look to their PCs as a central source of entertainment, many are investing in multimedia speakers to improve the audio quality of their PC," notes Hannaher. "They can purchase a great set of multimedia speakers for under $150."

The MicroWorks® system ($149.99) 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. MicroWorks can also be hooked up to a stereo TV to create a two-channel home theater system. Available in black or white.
