- I don't know about coupons, why not call them and ask? I
- don't have the number offhand, but if you dial information
- at 1-617-555-1212 and say "Newton" for "what city please",
- they can tell you the # for Cambridge Soundworks.
-
- Before you buy, see if you can find a Celestion dealer, and
- listen to their single woofer with the model 1, 3, or 5
- satellites. The cost (at least with the 1's) should be similar
- to the Ensemble II. I heard this setup recently, and it was
- very good indeed.
-
- I have heard the Ensemble II, and the original Ensemble. The
- original Ensemble is definitely better. I think it's worth the
- difference ($400 for the II, $500 for the original).
-
- I haven't done a side-by-side with the Celestion and either
- Ensemble, but this might be a toss-up.
