I am not an audiophile by any strech of imagination. I'm just looking for a set of small, unobtrustive, good looking speakers that still have good sound quality and a reasonable price.
How do the JBL Creature speakers stack up? I really WANT to buy these.

My only requirements: suffiecient volume without cracking/breaking up and plenty of bass. Anything beyond that is just icing on the cake. I don't get into frequencies and all that horseshit.
It's just something to wiggle your ass to...

Provantage.com has the lowest price on the Creatures ($86.95) and they have a very good rating.
I ordered the Creatures from them on Monday at 2PM and at 11AM on Tuesday UPS delivered them to my door.
They're great for the price!
I'd have to say the Champagne sounds the best (though they look ugly imo - looks like a two horny cobras and a 50's clock radio sub). The Soundsticks come a very close second for sound but look so beautiful. The creatures looked kinda neat but sounded like a really cheap ghetto blaster.
That's my benchmark.

I think they're much better.
I saw that the drivers in the satellites are the ODYSSEY+. Aren't they the sames ones used in the old iMac? I distinctly remember the old iMac's having an h/k Odyssey sound system. Perhaps it's a spiffier version? At least this one has a subwoofer powered by the MAGNUM driver.
Oh yeah, still didn't ship yet from Amazon.com. Backorder city it seems.
I'm thinking about getting the Yamaha NS-P220s. They cost around 100 and seem to get good reviews.
Sweeeeeeeet!.
They have the smallest satalites I've seen and people are amazed when they here what comes out of them.
Sort of like the first time I ever heard the original Bose AM5's years ago.
<strong>Well, I'm ordering a Denon AVR-1403 a/v receiver so I wanna know what speakers I should get. Of course I have a lower budget but I want real speakers, not just some USB computer ones.</strong><hr></blockquote>
The best way to buy any speaker is to listen to them before you buy.
I like paradigms. they're canadian and if you can make a trip to windsor thru detroit, you can get them cheap.
Def Tech's would be my second choice. Don't buy Bose, they're not worth the price.
BTW, how much is your budget?
