Rating: Summary: Impressive sound for computer speakers. Review: Got these speakers for X-mas. They sounded a little flat at first; plenty of midrange and bass but weak in the highs (compared to the Harman Champaigne Glass model which came with my PC). There's no treble control on the unit. I also own JBL Creatures which look and sound awesome plus have bass and treble control knobs on the sub. Of course the sound of either system can be adjusted via the equalizer in your Real or Windows Media Players. Back to the I-trigues; the more I listened to them, the better they started to sound. As I read in another post, there seems to be a break-in period. The soundstage has gotten wider and the sound, more detailed; quite unbelievable considering the narrow profile of the speakers. I like the wired remote w/ volume and bass controls & headphone and line-in jacks. Again a treble control would have been nice though. Overall, very impressive speakers. They also look great next to my 20" monitor w/ their tall slender appearance.
Rating: Summary: Iam fully satisfied with them! Review: I bought them yesterday and i couldn't be happier! the sound is EXCELLENT, they look like MODELS. :) i recommend them.
Rating: Summary: Apple G5 plus L3450 speakers =KICK A$$ Review: I bought these and love them. They look great and sound even better.
If you have a Mac, these look like they were made my Apple.
The sub woofer is robust and really thumps. They are very sturdy and do not wobble
or fall over. Directions are made for First graders, so I had no problem getting them going. My friend listened to mine and ordered his own pair.
Rating: Summary: The Best For The Price Review: I have a PowerMac G5 it fits well with the G5. It sounds so good I love it. Buy It Today
Rating: Summary: Truly Outstanding Review: I have been wanting these speakers for some time. And I must say I did not think I would be this excited after I opened them. The sound clarity is absolutely amazing. The bass is very true and earthshaking. All this coming from such a small speaker system, is very breathtaking. The UPS guy delivered these at about 5 PM and I quickley took them upstairs to unpack them. I was up and running the tunes form my Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60 GB Mp3 player within 15 minutes. I noticed that the volume could get relatively loud, with pretty good treble. But when I turned the bass up, oh man, that was moving. Soundwise because of how earthshaking it was, literally because it felt like the ground was shaking at how much sound was coming out of them! In the time I have had them I have put many different types of music through them. Hard Rock, Rock, Classical, Opera, Country, Blues, Jazz, Baroque, Pop, R&B, Christian Rock, Soundtrack, and World music. Each one of them sounds way higher than any sounds system I have had before. At first I was a bit skeptical about having the sound running via my headphone jack on my Mp3 Player. Then I learned that it goes into a Line-In jack on the remote of the Pod (what a great idea!). No matter how loud I push the volume or how pumped I get the bass, you can hear stuff you've never heard before in those memorable songs. With these speakers I feel like I'm in one of those really high-tech stores. The ones that have a great name brand sound system accompanied by a top of the line Mp3 Player. If you want something to go with these sleek babies, get Creative's Zen Xtra Mp3 Player, because I assure you you'll have hours of enjoyment from them both. The little leaflet of a quickstart manual that came with the package is very self explanitory. It tells you the precautions of using them, how to connect them using a really discriptive diagram, and how to use the speakers in many ways. Something to keep for further reference. Overall I am very satisfied with these speakers. I've used them in 4 different ways so far. Via Mp3 Player, via home stereo CD player, via computer, and via my digital piano. The only drawback about connecting them to my digital piano was that if you turn the volume up relatively loud, the Titanium drivers vibrate too much, making it sound like distortion. If you ease up the volume, this problem is simply solved. I know this because it is just the suble sound of a piano key that makes that odd, unexpected sound. If you put it on "Strings", put the bass on full, piano on top volume, and remote Pod on the highest volume setting, it creates a lush array of sounds that you would only imagine in your most far-fetched of dreams. Pros: Amazing sound, sleek look, very versitile, easy start up, ability to connect to compatible Creative Mp3 Players through the unique "M-Port", price. Cons: Heavy AC adapter, slight distortion on "Grand Piano" sound on my digital keyboard. Bottome Line: I highly recommend these speakers. They may look small, but they provide a powerhouse of sound for any occasion. I got these from a reliable company that I found online for about $40 less than what Creative sells them for. Very good deal by them. I hope to spend many more days in the rich, superiority of the Creative Labs I-Trigue L3450 2.1 Speaker System.

Rating: Summary: Not as good as I expected Review: I purchased these speakers for aesthetic reasons, especially after having read the positive reviews posted here. However I was sorely disappointed by their performance. Pros: aesthetically pleasing, small size, wired remote Cons: no treble control (can only adjust the bass level), weak midrange output I played all genres from dance, R&B, electronica, rock, punk, classical, opera, jazz, piano, choral, Latin, solo instrumental (violin, cello, clarinet), and movies. The bass is excellent as others have already pointed out. However, due to the small size of the speakers, the midrange output was significantly lacking. When I tried to compensate for this by boosting the treble in iTunes (the speakers have no treble control!) certain songs were played with noticeable distortion due to overloading the small speakers. A perfect example of this is how alto saxophone in certain jazz songs were really distorted. Even my 5 year old basic Phillips speakers and subwoofer performed better than these. The only redeeming quality of the I-trigues is their attractive aesthetics and small size. According to some Apple audiophiles, Soundsticks 2 by Harman Kardon is a good alternative to these speakers for $50.00 more.
Rating: Summary: Should Have Listened To The Guy Below... Review: I was looking for some external speakers to go with my Apple Powerbook G4, and ended up choosing these. Having played a wide variety of music through these, and making endless adjustments to attempt to get the perfect sound out of them, I offer my opinion.
They look great, I love the remote, set-up is easy, and the bass is more than adequate, but for the price, these speakers are severely lacking in mid-range. The high end sound is fairly crisp and clean, but there simply is not nearly enough mid-range. Everything the dude below says is absolutely true. For $50, I'd be happy with these, but not one dollar more. I'm already shopping for something else...
Rating: Summary: Iam fully satisfied with them! Review: I've had it for a month now and this set of speakers is very impressive. Design and build are solid as well as overall sound. It matches well with flat panels (of similar shade or color) , iMac and Powermac G5. I'm enjoying the listening experience and the pleasing aesthetics (nice to look at) very much. For Mac Users, these speakers are a perfect match. Made quite an impression on all my friends who saw them last weekend.
