Final thoughts

The I-Trigue 5600 is a cracking speaker set, with sound quality right up there alongside anything else in the same price range. If that range seems a little too rich for you, know that until you've enjoyed the pleasures of surround sound, it's impossible to appreciate how much it enhances the enjoyment of DVD movies and gaming. That experience is worth paying for if the quality is right. And, with these Creative speakers, it is right. A further big plus (or a major negative, depending on your viewpoint) is that the design of these speakers isn't discrete. Heck, it's not intended to be. But whether it's too in-your-face to have around the place, only you can say.

Pros

Stunning sound quality
Visually excellent design
CMSS is a great additional feature

Cons

Slightly iffy build quality on the sample reviewed
Fixed speaker pitch means its not very flexible for wall mounted solutions
Slightly over enthusiastic subwoofer can drown the quality out if not properly configured
