Key details
Before the new Creative T40 speakers we had people rated this so much, and Riyadh, Andy and I were giggling with delight when they arrived. Fortunately, our childish embarrassments are not in vain, for they are rooted in our expectations. For those who are a bit confused by these mysterious T40s, I can point you to the link above for some background reading, but I’ll be happy to give you a quick rundown.
Essentially, Creative took a storm in April 2007 when they released a seemingly flawless 2-piece set. 0 Desktop speakers, Gigaworks T20s. We were amazed by the quality of the sound they produced and loved their style – and we’re not happy with the £50 price tag either.
The Creative Gigaworks T40s (old and new) are about a foot high, and the new Series II versions are both deeper and taller than previous models – exactly 31 x 14 x 9 centimeters. In that case, they’re definitely pretty impressive on a tabletop speaker. However, as a 2.0 setup, at least you don’t have a huge subwoofer to deal with.
Also, if you have a large monitor (24 inches and above) on your desk, the ratio of these indicators will be better than some spares. However, while these new T40s share the same form as the old ones, there are many differences in many other areas. First, the color scheme has changed, the front panel is now finished in glossy black, decorated with thousands of subtle bright blue spots. I can’t say that I find it more beautiful than before, especially because it shows the dust on it. That said, it doesn’t stop me from buying them.
