Digital camera reviews of JBL Creature II 3-Piece Powered Speaker System
Digital camera Review: A good sound system at a fair price.
Summary: 5 Stars
My dad bought this system as a companion to his new G4 ibook, or whatever the new one is named. I was put in charge of figuring out how to get this system hooked up to it. Hook-up is relatively easy--they have a nice picture diagram for those who don't read directions. Nevertheless, even if you skip the diagram the connections are color-coded and specially shaped anyway.
After about four hours of listening to albums ranging from The Velvet Underground, Van Morrison, Neil Young, and up to the newest Wilco--from both the laptop's cd player and my ipod--I can honestly add my voice to the legions of the many satisfied listeners. It took a while to find just the right amount of bass to make up for the slight lack of mid-range, but once that point is reached, the Creatures sound nice. Aesthetically and practically (if your space will allow) it works best to keep the sub nearby the computer. The system then becomes ideal for clean sounding music played at low or medium volume. Granted I am no audio genius, but like pornography with the eyes, my ears know good-sounding music upon hearing it. Its just that I would consider the Creatures more like playboy when I know there are lots of other choices out there that might give you a more in-depth experience of the music (like my brother's SoundStick II's, or perhaps my dad's Sony tower speakers hooked to a high-power amp.). But then again, these sorts of things admit of degrees, and in that sense, the Creatures will certainly do in a pinch.
Considering the price, brand recognition, and keeping in mind the somewhat limited possibilities of this type of speaker system, the Creatures will not leave the rational buyer very disappointed. Hence, this consumer's five-star rating.
Digital camera Review: A little tinny but great for 40$
Summary: 4 Stars
These speakers cost me 40$ and they sound great for speakers that cost me 40$. If you are an audiophile looking for the perfect sound, keep looking, but these speakers are fantastic for the value. Highly recommended.Digital camera Review: A real bargain at this price
Summary: 4 Stars
Installation is a breeze and sound quality is more than enough to use on any high-end desktop system. The wiring is long enough to allow the ideal positioning of the speakers and sub-woofer. You can adjust the volume from two touch-sensitive buttons on the left speaker, and the sub-woofer has two rotating knobs for bass and treble.
Apparently exists also in gray and black, but may have been discontinued, so hurry!
