Ive heard/owned plenty of Creative computer speakers and in general what I found was that they were loud, they gave very big bass, but they were not as clear and detailed as the separates that replaced them. What I found was that the separates gave a much more "fuller" and "complete" sound to music, games and movies. The sound, felt a lot more expensive.
The only quality computer speakers I have ever heard were the Videologic ones about 5yrs back. They were good and I was impressed with them. I found that they were only as good as separates, but not better.
I've tested the Ms against a Cambridge Audio+Gale setup. The Aegos gave the separates a kicking. It wasn't even close.
The Cambridge Audio and Gale setup was obviously budget oriented and the cost of buying these new would be around £120 (at a guess). What if though, you were to go for 2nd hand speakers/amp and compare the Aego M speakers to those (in otherwords, the Aego will now compete against separates that, when new, would've cost around £200-250, but 2nd hand would cost around £80-100)?
The Aego's are indeed produced by a HiFi specialists, but the budget that they are working to is a serious constraint for the manufacturer. The Aego M speakers can be bought for £90 delivered.
What the Aego M's have in their favour is there bedroom friendly size. Its ok to have huge floor standers in a living room, but for a smaller bedroom, the Aego would score heavily due to their diminutive size. This is what interested me initially in the Aego M speakers - good sound, small size. It was only after I quickly paired up my old Sony amp with the Mission M70 (that I already had), that I realised what great sound quality, even the smaller M70 speakers, offer.
EDIT: for games, I think the Aego speakers would win, due to their dedicated sub and the importance of bone shaking bass preferred for game audio.
