Just bought myself a set of Creative Gigaworks T40's for my desk, so that I can have sound coming from in front of me...I have been using my CA 640R and B&W601's which are situated behind me around the TV.
Only had them a day, am relatively happy with the highs, but the lows sound muddy and hollow. I know with the kevlar drivers they'd require some breaking in, but I can't imagine any amount of breaking in will get rid of the muddy sounding lows. Some of the padding used in bigger speakers might help though!
I bought this set over a 2.1 as I am not looking for ground breaking bass, just some half decent speakers to use for music playback when using the main setup is inappropriate/inconvenient.
Should I take them back and look into something else? I don't want to spend a fortune, though these were £97! Maybe a T-Amp and some smallish bookshelf speakers?
Any advice appreciated from either the pro-T40 or pro-something else camps!
