I'm not much for speakers anymore, since headphones seem like a more intimate experience.  My big problem with these though is my power cable has a short that still lets it get power, but you must not touch it or I end up having to fiddle with it for a while until I get power.  I've had a tough time finding a replacement too because even if creative still sold these speakers they wouldn't send me a replacement.  This is because according to their help desk they sell them all together so they don't have spares sitting around.  These still work fine...
