My Review:
Easy to set up so simple the instructions wern't needed and the sound is amazing the base is unbeleivable i use these speakers for my pc just change a few settings on your pc and your fine, i recomend this to everyone. The stands for the speakers realy grip onto anything all the cables are perfect length. even on super saver i got this item only a few days down the line, box was a tiny bit damaged but then again thats the royal mail for ya :\

I've just upgraded to full studio quality monitors and am in the process of selling these speakers. My review of them is that they are very good speakers for the money you're paying, but that's not why I'm writing this. I just want to clear up a few comments made by the reviewer five below me.

First, speakers don't have drivers (although one of the names used for a speaker is a driver.) Sound cards have drivers. What the man was looking for was a driver for his sound card, speakers do not provide or even have software drivers.

Secondly, his concern about the sub woofer not being wall mountable. Sub woofers are never wall mountable. The vibrations from a sub woofer would loosen any mount fixings in days, maybe even hours, causing a bad accident. Also, part of the fun of sub woofers is the vibrations they transfer through the floor.

Thirdly, the cable provided for PC > woofer has a perfect length for most people.

And finally, you can't connect these speakers to a DVD player.

I wrote this because I didn't want anyone to be put off buying a perfectly good set of speakers due to someone's ignorance.

Simply said!!!! "I like these speakers". They meet my expectations, and really have converted my Medion PC into a fine entertainment source. The five smaller speakers, each comes with nice small aluminium stand, and also provision for wall mounting.
I like the, wired, remote control, with it's separate knob, for the on/off & volume of the five smaller speakers, and another knob for the subwoofer volume.
Another good thing is the sensible cooling vanes built onto the small power supply
Set up instructions are easy to follow.
The good packageing ensured safe transport

I have just taken delivery of these speakers, my first venture into 5.1 on the PC.
Connected them up within 10 minutes via my Audigy 2 card (very easy to follow instructions) and fired them up.
Absolutely brilliant!! I am amazed at the sound quality these produce, crystal clear whether playing CD's, DVD's, MP3 files or games. I have a very expensive home theatre system set up in my living room, and I am now enjoying similar quality sounds from my computer! Played Delta Force Extreme online last night and you can really hear the bullets whizzing past your head and thudding into the ground behind you. And if I were having a party or a get together I would be more than happy to let the computer, via these speakers, provide the entertainment.
Don't understand what the previous poster meant about downloading drivers? Certainly not needed here.
The seperate on/off/volume control is very useful, allowing you to alter the whole system or increase/decrease the sub very easily. With the addition of two input jacks for either headphones or external MP3 player etc. it makes life very easy.
If, like me, you are thinking of going 5.1 then these speakers are a very affordable way to go. I would recommend them to anybody. Delivery was good, arriving within 4 days of order using the "free delivery" option.
One of my better purchasing decisions (and I've made some "monkey" ones over the years).
My advice?
Buy now

I have been searching for the right speakers to go with my soon to be alienware system. At first i wanted some 7.1 speakers but decided to opt out for a cheaper option and came across the creative inspire T5900 on amazon.

i read all the reviews which were really helpful and i agree with all of them.....These speakers kick ass, big fat ass. For teh price they are unbeatable. The bass liteally shakes my room on full volume and i ahven't even dared try full volume on everything!

On my current system i don't have a soundcard that supports 5.1 so i can only use the 2 mains and the sub, and it still rocks! i can't wait to be able to embrace them in all their glory

The box was nicely packed and everything was easily assmebled. All the cables are just the right length but you will need to buy extra stands or wall mounts if you don't have any desk space behind you.

Music palys brilliantly as long as the actual file is of good quality (i.e playing of CDS is fine but some iffy downloads will sound horrible - not the speakers fault though)

Games - well it really does triumph here. Never have i heard half life 2 sound so beasty, and it mad it more scary!

DVD- well i would love to comment but as i said i only use the 2 mains and the sub so it doesnt do anything justice.

so in conclusion. Great speakers for a great price, you certainly get more then you payed for.....and i have said all this without using it in full 5.1 surround sound yet! i must be mad!
