These are very likely one of the top 2 or 3 PC speakers you can buy without a sub.

Keeping in mind that these are PC speakers, and not studio monitors (although they resemble small ones with the kevlar cones) I would consider them quite accurate. Understand that although I've given them a 5 on sound quality they would not hold that rating against other types of Audio equipment, but that's to be expected for $100.

The mid range and highs are A-mazing! The bass is decent, even in Hip Hop and electronic music, especially considering what a small driver the bass comes from. I did notice a bit of resonance or vibration in the T20s when they reproduced piano chords at high volumes. This was a bit surprising to me but tolerable.

I also have a set of Logitech Z-2300s, and would say that the T 20 easily bests the satelites of the Z-2300 (it's a 2.1 system, so there is no comparison on the bass). The T20s sound more 'CONFIDENT' at high volumes and seems to hit mids and highs with less distortion.

The construction quality is excellent, and they look as good in person as they do online and fit well on my desk. The added MP3 player / Aux input is a nice touch too.

Started hearing massive static from the left speaker a few hours into use. Problem is intermittent but the speakers are practically unusable when it occurs. After researching the issue, found out that this is a design flaw. Too bad, cuz they were awesome speakers.

i had these speakers for almost a year now and they still sound great, even at higher volumes and im really glad i got these over the 2.1 systems with the seperate sub-woofer.
in fact, my friend recently came over and said wow, these speakers sound great! what are they? i said they are creative labs T-20 with built in sub woofer and he said he just bought some bose computer speakers that look almost like the creative ones i had and he paid over $100 for the bose, while i got these for under $100 with therebate. he told me my speakers sounded better than the bose set he had purchased a month ago.
these speakers are really worth the money, especially with the rebate.
ps: keep in mind, they dont get super loud, but they get loud enough for a sm-med sizeroom. also, you need to break them in for at least 2 weeks before the sound starts sounding better. but then you'll notice like i did, the crisps details of instruments, while maintaining a warm natural tone with good balance, i also like the fact that it has seperate bass and treble controls. well worth it, if i had money, i would buy another one now with the rebate price.
