Product Description
Our three-way Tower by Henry Kloss delivers highly accurate, wide-range sound with precision and dynamics comparable to speakers selling for thousands of dollars more. Its bipolar dispersion pattern ensures a proper stereo effect at the widest variety of listening positions, and lends a feeling of three-dimensional openness to the sound. Tower has two forward-facing 8-inch woofers; a forward-facing 5 1/4-inch midrange driver; a 1-inch soft-dome fabric tweeter; and separate rearward-facing midrange and tweeter units identical to those used in front. A flared low-frequency vent is located at the lower rear. Tower's large enclosure and twin 8-inch woofers deliver bass response that is deep and accurate, with tremendous punch. Each Tower speaker is magnetically shielded and has separate sets of gold-plated connecting posts, a pair for the woofers and a pair for the mid- and high-frequency drivers, which allow you to use bi-amp or bi-wire options.

One of the best values in a floor-standing speaker is the three-way bipolar model named Tower by Henry Kloss. It delivers highly accurate, wide-range sound with precision and dynamics comparable to speakers selling for thousands of dollars more. Its bipolar dispersion pattern ensures a proper stereo effect at the widest variety of listening positions, and lends a feeling of three-dimensional openness to the sound.The combination of its wide-range dynamic sound and bipolar design produces a listening experience that is remarkably unique. Tower features wide-range, stereo imaging and natural tonal balance with efficiency, dynamic range and "presence", plus the open realism of a bipolar speaker, resulting in sound that is nothing short of incredible. It is spectacularly realistic.Tower has two forward-facing 8-inch polypropylene woofers; a forward-facing 5 1/4-inch polypropylene midrange driver; a 1-inch soft-dome fabric tweeter; and separate rearward-facing midrange and tweeter units identical to those used in front. A flared low-frequency vent is located at the lower rear. Tower's large enclosure and twin 8-inch woofers deliver bass response that is not only deep and accurate, but is also very dynamic, with tremendous "punch."Each Tower speaker is magnetically shielded and has separate sets of gold-plated connecting posts, a pair for the woofers and a pair for the mid- and high-frequency drivers, which allow you to use bi-amp or bi-wire options. Bi-amplification involves using separate amps for the low frequencies and the mid/high frequencies, noticeably reducing audible distortion and creating an open, "effortless" sound quality. Bi-wiring uses one amp with two sets of wires, one for each frequency range. This increases the current flow and subtly reduces intermodulation distortion.Tower is an incredible speaker, offered at a very reasonable price.

5 out of 5 stars Cambridge Towers: Excellent Speakers for Under $1000.......2003-11-18

I think Cambridge Towers are excellent speakers overall. Because they radiate from the front and the back, they provide a wide, deep, and slightly diffuse soundstage, relative to the best front-radiating speakers. Overall frequency response sounds quite smooth, and separation of individual instruments is very good. The bass goes fairly deep, but it is not as tight as with some speakers in the $1000 to $2000 price range. I supplement the bass with a Cambridge Soundworks BassCube 12 subwoofer, and the result is very satisfying. I currently drive my Towers with a Jolida 102B tube integrated amplifier. The combination is excellent. I basically forget the equipment and enjoy the music. Although the Jolida is rated at only 20 or so watts per channel, the Towers are efficient enough to play quite loud with the Jolida. Overall, I really like these speakers. They're nice to look at (mine are walnut, not black), relatively inexpensive, and sound really good without calling attention to themselves. For more thorough reviews of the Cambridge Towers and other speakers I've auditioned (including Energy, Polk and Paradigm speakers, which I also like; I own Cambridge Towers), look for horswispr's reviews on Epinions.com.
