Any Comments On This Speaker Set?

i'm in the market for a 2.1 speaker set, and i came across this one: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc....-154-012&depa=0

it looks nifty, and i'm wondering if i should get it. does anyone have any experience with it? the reviews look pretty good. :)

thanks!

don't want to sound rude, but it looks like a low quality iSub.......

what do you think about this? http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?prodid=4913

lol i know, but they look interesting.

not sure about creative, though. i've had 2 die on me.

i'm starting to look at some better altec lansing and logitech speakers.

I remember you once said that they were giving out smoke instead of sound. :lol:

Actually, my friend has that exact pair. His dad got them for him from Hong Kong or Taiwan, not sure. Anyway, They are awesome speakers! If you turn up the bass really high you can make the big egg vibrate, even move around a tabletop.

He's had them for a few years, and they haven't fallen apart or cracked, its pretty thick plastic.

wow, customixer, you have a good memory! i'll never forget that experience. :lol:

thanks, farty. good to know someone likes them.

srry not to sound rude but those look like crap. i would go with altec lansing, creative or jbl. this is like a generic company. i would suggest looking at other speakers.

haha, everyone's afraid to sound rude.

i'm not serious about them. looking at some logitech right now. :)

edit: my friends found these.

jbl: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=...&loc=14564&sp=1

logitech: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-121-108&depa=0

logitech has better specs, but jbl is nicer.

I built my speaker set myself :) Each one has 350 watts and theyr

made out of real wood so I get waaaay more bass :)

#215094

cool, ifido. :)

but i'm done! just ordered the jbl creature ii speakers. :)

#215126

The creature II's are kickass! I have a set of my own...

I have to say though, put them as far away as you can (straight back and to the sides a little) from your computer, they sound much better. I got little white plastic (shiny, just like the speakers) shelves and mounted them on my walls! The subwoofer sits at eye level where my printer should be (on the ground now) but I havent experimented with in under the desk. Maybe thats better?

#215133

sweet, thanks for the feedback.

i'm going to put the subwoofer on the floor and not on my glass desk. :D

i can't wait for them to arrive!

#215139

good you will be happy, those are what i have for my powerbook. they rock for being so little. very crisp and clear.

hmmmn, not really related to the speakers, but does anyone know where i can get a 2.1 sound profile for windows? it only has desktop stereo and then it goes up to 5.1?

Good pick. I have the Creature I's and I LOVE them. What (if anyone here knows) is the difference between the II's and the I's? The only difference I found was the color!

i would think you should just select stereo and let the active electronics in the speakers handle the .1 as i would guess you're not going digital out of your sound card.
