i myself have had the creative i-trigue 3400 for a few years now, and they are great. great mids, with a pretty neutral sound. unfortunately, the bass remains undefined no matter how much you turn it up. nevertheless, it is still present. highs are so so, but are still noticeable, without any "s" sounds in crash symbols or other similar sounds, even at high volume. in addition, the small yet powerful speakers are easy to mount just about anywhere, as long as you have an extension cable to attach each speaker to the central subwoofer with all the connections in it. overall, a very good buy for the money.
