The Mahogony finish helped the T300 to blend into the room's surroundings and give the speakers a more refined look (very nice finish). The slate made the T500s look like cement slabs (Monoliths). I got the T300s with the Mahogony finish - the T500s I purchased were slate finish. I originally bought CSW's T500s - they were just too big for my living room (sound and size) so I down-graded to the T300s (see my review of the T500s on this site). If you are a middbass junkie consider the T500 which are crossed over at 100 and have a 6.5 midrage instead of 2 4in. You can get them in a surround pakage for about 2500. These are, however, all small complaints and I would not hesitiate to recomend these speakers to anybody. Even with the knob turned all the way down these speakers have a whole lot of bass. I wish the bass controll knob on the back had a bit more attenuation in it. Which may be the reason they lack a little articulation is the area. The crossover to the sub occurs at 150htz.

With no bass driver to suck the power out of the reciever the highs and mids come through beautiflly. This amp is by no means a powerhouse, but with these speaker you can hardly notice. I am currently driving them with and onkyo 494 (waiting for the new marantz line). Each speaker has a built in 150 watt amp with a torodial transformer. The effortless bass produced by the built in subs is awsome. I must say that for home theater use I am completely blow away. If you are looking for a speaker that really rocks for its price tag, there is no better value.

Most people who use these speakers will use them that way and CSW should set them up that way. They need to be hooked up LFE (Sub out) on the reciever to get true bass response. T300's, coupled with my 787 was a very wise choice.ДЇor those of you who are demoing these peices in the stores, be aware that they are not hooked up correctly. Overall, I would say that I am very excited to own these speakers. These speakers are made for HT, but they still kick ass in music. IF you are looking for bright and tinny speakers, try some of the other brands that use a metallic tweeter.

I heard everything crystal clear.ДЇor music, the T300's are not the brightest speakers. I was amazed at how good they handled all of the complex action in many scenes and how well they were able to control all the detail. It is the same design as the MC300's.ДЇor example, the background music in the Matrix (building shoot out) was just that, in the background with the old cubes, but with the T300's it was right there. The tweeter and midranges are really sharp for vocals and really project well. They handle the bass real well and the design of the mid ranges and tweeter allow for a really large soundstage. These speakers are amazing for home theater. The THX bass limiter is nearly to its peak. When properly setup with my Onkyo 787, I found the subwoofers to be able to handle all that it could throw at it. I got them in the mahogony color and it is great. I must say, out of the box, it is the look of these towers that made me fall in love with them. Remind me never to try and help anybody on the site again. I'm gonna give this review 5 stars to balance out my earlier review. I still recommend that if anybody is looking at these speakers that they also give the other companies I mentioned a listen as well. They are a little thin in the lower midrange. What I stated about everything else in the review still stands. The 'ABSOLUTLY WONDERFUL' Cambridge Soundworks guys had the reciever set up to small front speakers which high passed them at 80Hz. I will correct myself in that they do have a very good amount of bass. I went back to the store and listened to them again, with the problem fixed, for about an hour. I was informed by a non-infantile user of this site that the speakers were probly set up wrong. I said in the review that I only listned to them for an about an hour and that people should just try out other speakers. I'm taking so much heat from my review that it is rediculous.
