What the designers did was simply adapt the drivers from the smaller 2 way system into a larger ported tower speaker. But what they did really was simply add powered subwoofers to the system as an all-in-one cabinet. These spakers have developed a very good reputation and sell for considerably more than typical CSW systems did in the past.ĬSW also incorporated the advantages of this approach when building larger Tower speakers. Their "bookshelf" models typically having 2 5 1/2 or 6 1/2 woofers in wither a 2 way or 3 way design. Thus today we see many fine speakers with multiple small "woofers" instead of the 10, 12, and 15 inch ones common years ago.ĬSW's Newton line has largely follwed this approach. This has freed designers of main speakers from the need to produce large amounts of very low bass and thus has allowed them to concentrate on other qualities. The idea behind them - other than the marketing dept's desire to fill a void in the lineup - is simple: With the advent of home theater more and more serius listeners and film watchers have powered sub woofers in their systems. The Newton T100 is an engineering success, but (for very understandable reasons) a marketing failure. ![]()
