While I was out, looking for speakers, I couldn't help myself getting frustrated with the poor quality of 98% of all speakers I tested. I am used of high quality products since I'm into music and video production, so at least I wanted half decent speakers. I wasn't expecting studio monitor quality from any of them, but I wanted them to be bearable. A few thx certified 2.1 systems came close, but I wasn't really looking for that.

They are well worth the price, and I'm convinced that you'll need a lot of searching to find similar (or better) speakers in this given price range!

Quick review of Creative GigaWorks T40
I bought these for my new desk for moving house and not wanting to have my 5.1 any more. They are an excellent set and produce great quality sound. The Bass is a bit fake when extremely high but still overall a great product for the money! ...
