7. In Conclusion

These two kits are in the same category and have similar characteristics, but ultimately they're quite different. Creative has focused on neutrality and sacrificed volume. We'd choose the GigaWorks T20 for listening at low volume but with high quality; don't expect it to deliver gut-wrenching sound. The Klipsch set, on the other hand, isn't very neutral, but it puts out higher sound levels. It won't perform miracles, but if you want louder sound it's undeniably the better choice.

The bottom line on both the Creative and Klipsch kits, however, is that they are pricey, and buying them only makes sense if you absolutely want to do without a subwoofer. For the price, there are 2.1 kits that are better overall.
