Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort Technolgy I have had some logitech speakers that I have already been listing to music on for approximately a year now… I knew there was better sound out there because I bought several decent earbuds earlier this holiday season. I prefer listing to help music through speakers, so I have been shopping for a nice set of computer speakers. I knew the logitech speakers were bad while i couldn’t tell the difference between the low and high bit rate Pandora. These speakers ARE as effective as the reviews indicate. Totally worth the money i believe. It is amazing for someone not employed to good speakers. They are big… but if you have got room – get’em.
Having listened to top quality audio systems, when it comes towards the computer and compressed audio files, I don’t expect a lot. Far to boomy or maybe dead. Granted for what most of these offer, the do what they are able to and do it properly. These produce sufficient highs without being harsh or overly vivid. The mid’s are mellow and smooth. Obviously on a only two. 0 system with most of these small drivers, one isn’t expecting reproduction on the lower end. Their sweet spot is the mid range and I found these refreshing especially using voices. At the current price ~$100, they are pleasing and worth every penny.
If I had a wish for the Creative designers, it would be to help couple these T40 II’s while using sub from the T3. The overall sound can have a nicer range.:). Read the rest of this entry »
