In November of 1999 Cambridge Soundworks introduced the SoundWorks Digital 2.1 system. The system is an update (and replacement) to their classic SoundWorks three-piece system. The new system has been built around their highly successful FPS2000 system and as such also features design elements common with the DTT2500. This very affordable ($99) system is targeted at the both the PC and home audio (for TVs, portable CD players, MP3 players, etc) market. So what does this system offer? That’s what we are going to look at in this review.
