Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
GigaWorks T40 stereo speakers will fascinate you with their impressive audio delivery. Combining premium components with Creative’s many years of leadership in world-class audio, each satellite delivers spacious, balanced sound, thanks to the potent combination of two high-performance midrange drivers and a dedicated high-end tweeter in MTM (midrange-tweeter-midrange) configuration, plus BasXPort technology for strong, dynamic bass without a subwoofer. The midrange drivers have woven glass fiber cones for warmth and stability, while each tweeter has a cloth dome for crystal clarity. Front mounted controls for power, volume, bass and treble, plus a versatile adaptor, made these speakers great partners for DVD players and televisions as well as PCs.
Customer Reviews
Good speakers worthy of all the praise by J. Luu
I got this for my wife so she can listen to movies from her computer. The build quality is very impressive for this price point. There’s reasonable weight which adds to the perception of quality. The design is very sleek and elegant. I just wish the LED is not so bright. Don’t use it in the bedroom unless you want a blue night light. Sound quality is very good. Clear highs and realistic mids. Surprising amount of bass given such a small size. I’m happy with the purchase.
Great speakers by Fred S. Umble
I have used these speakers for about a month now and am very pleased with them. I might buy another set for the office.
Quality Sound for 2 Speaker System by S. Floyd
I ordered these Creative T40’s ($125) and Boston Acoustic Horizon MM220 ($99) 2.0 speakers of similar size and cost.
I liked the fact that the Creatives had the bass and treble controls and no big brick transformer unit to power them. Each require separate power, however, the Creatives have a small footprint plug.
On the other hand the Creative speakers are about an 1 taller, wider and heavier. I felt they had a deeper sound form bass being it could be adjusted on a easy to reach front dial control.
One key thing to remember these are not 5.1 or 7.1 and you don’t have a sub. This type of speaker is made for your computer desktop/laptop/ipod/gaming at a average level. I have a 7.1 channel system for my HD TV and stereo for when I need or want intensity. I feel these small buggers are really good for my purposes. I will use them when I travel, even though they are heavy. I will have quality sound for music and blue-ray on the laptop where ever I am.
I am only using these speakers for a Sony Vaio laptop. I tested each set with music and movies to determine my choice. I really liked the sound of the Bostons too and they were a little smaller and lighter which was nice but the huge brick of a power unit and the no control of bass/treble turned me to the Creatives T40’s.
perhaps the best 2.0 now available… by Eduardo Nietzsche
…that is, if you don’t want an actual studio monitor by a company like M-Audio, which will take up a good bit more desktop real estate and can cost a good chunk more for their mid and high level models. For the size and the price however, these T40s are a very competent pair of speakers.
My good friend of mine got a pair of these for his new Dell laptop, and I’ve spent the past several days listening to them while housesitting for him. The 3 most common problems that most computer speakers have is overpowering, bloated bass; recessed or non-existent midrange; and screechy, exaggerated treble. These T40s have not totally remedied all 3, but have come closer than most 2.0 speaker systems I have heard. If you are not expecting to shake the walls with them and listen to relatively simple music (MP3s which are already a compromised music medium) on a casual basis, they are excellent. I listened to a range of stuff on them: Beethoven piano concertos, Norah Jones, Iggy Pop, The White Stripes, Bach symphonies, Miles Davis, Madeleine Peyroux … all sounded quite acceptable! Still no comparison to a regular music system of course, but nothing to groan or grimace over.
And again, it goes without saying but needs to be said anyways in case there are some complete noobs surfing these reviews: these speakers completely wipe the floor with their Bose counterparts!
