 passJun 21, 2009
I bought these a few years ago and have barely used them. I'm really not sure why people are so impressed with the sound: my experience is it's tinny, and the lows overpower other sounds, even when I turn the bass all the way down. Other than some fairly powerful bass, the sound was really unsatisfying in general. I also recall that we had one of these at a place of employment and the left speaker broke after only a few months. One more thing: I paid exactly 50 dollars for these two years ago on Amazon, so I'm assuming the current price is either some kind of glitch or clerical error at Amazon, or that the current product description simply fails to include that the new models will be gold-plated. If you're even for a second thinking of paying the listed $300 price, stop! These were barely worth the 50 I paid.

Very nice speakersJun 02, 2009
I purchased these a few years ago after doing some research. Chief among my concerns at the time were minimal desk space usage, loud undistorted sound output, and bass response. It excels at all three.
Pros:
* The two satellite speakers take a minimal amount of desk space
* Touch-activated volume controls; you press the + and - controls simultaneously to mute
* Each wire has a uniquely-shaped connector with matching receptacle on the sub-woofer which makes the hookup very simple
* Sound output is simply amazing, very little adjustments needed to be made with the included Bass and Treble controls (the "spikes" on the sub-woofer)
* Über-cool downward-facing green LEDs on the satellite speakers, leaves a nice green glow on your desk
Cons:
* If the sub-woofer is underfoot, it is easy to bump and move the Bass and Treble controls accidentally
* The power switch along with all of the connectors are on the back of the sub-woofer, which means if you want to turn the Creature off you need to have it plugged into a power strip or APC which is easily accessible
Overall, I don't regret the purchase and the speakers perform just as well today as they did when I first bought them. Well recommended.

I've had em for nearly ten years and they haven't quit. Great and loud. Good for Hendrix, the Allman Brothers, etc.
Amazing SpeakersMar 22, 2009
These speakers are amazing! There's no comparisson to other brands, it has powerful bass and crystal clear mids and treble. The one thing I don't understand is the price. I bought those about a year ago for around $50... At amazon!

 One year, twelve daysMar 20, 2009
These speakers were great for one year and twelve days, and then they just died. No sound, just a slight squeak from the sub. Called the company, and from what I can tell this is a known issue. I paid altogether too much for a set of speakers that lasted for so little time, and my choices with them are limited. Frankly, I just tossed them and bought a less expensive system that I can live with if it dies.
What makes this especially heinous at the personal level is that I had my previous speakers, a medium-expensive B.A. set that were ugly as sin for at least seven, and I think closer to ten, years. The Creature looked nice, didn't sound quite as good, and didn't last even close to as long.
