Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II
Creative usually does well with its speakers, so we could not wait to get our hands on the high-end Gigaworks T40 Series II set. Design and Features This 2.0 system comes wrapped in an attractive rectangular case containing the two speakers, power adapter, EP wire, Dual RCA-to-stereo Adapter (TV adapter) and instructions in multiple languages. The front panels of the speakers are covered with detachable cloth grilles, the build quality of which aren't up to the mark for such a highend set. The speakers themselves are well made with a black matte fi nish and a mild lustre. Each one is ported on top, which is something unusual. The line-in and headphone jacks are below the knobs on the front panel. The maximum power output is 16 watts per channel and the frequency response is rated at 50 Hz to 20 KHz. Performance We wanted to see how this unit performed in music, movies and games. The frequency response trailed off at around 50 Hz, and highs were a bit uneven near the treble end of the frequency spectrum. The bass is not the best and could be tighter. The overall loudness is impressive, we played the speakers at the maximum level, and they didn't succumb to any distortion.
