Summary: Nice product,
Review: The sound is nice, the power is good enough for my usage in a small room.You get what you pay, in my case a bit more since I paid [not a lot], including shipping. I also have Audigy. The speakers perform 5.1 flawless if you are listening to an ac3 source (DVD or songs recorded in AC3 format- demo files), since Audigy can do pass thru. The problem with Audigy is that, it does not have the capability to output other sources (e.g., if you are playing mp3, or games) in dolby digital 5.1 format. So none of the standard 5.1 sets will give your desired 5.1 output. Creative suggests using the analog outputs for that purpose . So even though I was also disappointed with the outcome, this in no way the fault of these speakers..

Summary: Great speakers to have!
Review: These are the best speakers I have heard for the price! I had very good quality Labtec speakers that I was satisfied with, so buying these was a random purchase. I am VERY glad I did buy them. These are great for the computer, the TV, a DVD player, as additional speakers for a stereo, and anything else that uses sound. It comes with cables for dual analog, coaxial, and fiber-optic. The quality of the sound is the same at minimal volume and max. There is no distortion that I can detect due to increased volume. A must for anyone who wants to boost thier home entertainment system.

Summary: Gr8 Capability, Needs a Treble Control
Review: To begin with, if u want to use these speakers with a computer, consider the rating to be 5 star. I use them with a DVD Player. I sorely missed the presence of treble enhancement. These speakers do have a bass enhancement control (subwoofer vol) but the absence of a treble control cuts out the crisp highs that the speakers are capable of delivering. Computer users wont feel the pinch because they can enhance the treble through windows or their sound playback software. For me, I had to connect standalone graphic equalizers to enhance the highs. After this of course, the results were mind blowing.
Everybody is cribbing about the absence of a remote, but that is just an inconvenience. The absence of a treble control seriously hampers the speakers' high pitch output, which hurts especially because the speakers CAN deliver crisp highs if connected thru a graphic eq.
