Conclusion

If you like a clean-looking desk layout or if you find yourself moving around a fair bit, then the T-20s really do tick most of the boxes. Unlike the 2.1 systems of old from Creative that were branded under the Cambridge SoundWorks name, these aren’t going to cost you the earth. The speakers' bass is very capable, if a little too dominating out of the box, and the biggest niggle left with the T-20s is that LED on the front to indicate power.

In the region of £60 and if you want premium sound in a small footprint then you could do much worse than a set of GigaWorks T-20s from Creative. Quality sound from a 2-channel set. Recommended.

The 'Find out this this HEXUS.review' Link on the front page takes me to something about ECS graphics cards, not a speaker review.

After reading: Kind of a weird article. It's not so much of a review as a ‘my first impressions’ type piece - there are no objective facts testing frequency responce or distortion, and there are no comparisons to other speakers. We can't tell if for 60 quid we can get better or worse than these.

As an example I bought some Altec Lansing mx5020 2.0 speakers a while ago - they look better than the Creative ones on a desk, their technical specs aren't too disimilar (better range on the mx5020, but more W for the Creative) and in describing them I'd probably say exactly the same things - crisp, very capable etc. etc. Yet they're half the price.

Kalniel,

You're right, it was done with a ‘first impressions’ thought in mind, seeing what the user thought of a pair of £60 speakers 18 months on from the last set, so more of a personal take than listing numerous specs.

I've modified the titling to reflect that it's more of a preview than full-on review.

Thanks.
