So... I could be getting a set for 50... Can't tell you how or why (One time deal ;) ) but I'm thinking they're probably a pretty good deal at that. I have Logitech x530's right now, and I can't stand the sound quality. Miserable little things. And the creatives were always a favorite of mine. But I'm wondering if you guys, in the know as it were over here in audio, know of any other sweet deals.

OH! Before I forget, has to be available in CANADA.

Thanks :)
 
the T40 series 2 speakers are good for $50

but for any more i would get M-audio 40AV there is a BIG diffrence in sound quality
i just sold my T40's on ebay to get 40AV's
 
Wellll it would probably be a good idea to give more background too.

Primarily, for music. I want clairty in the mids and highs but still a good bass punch (Logitechs are drony, and it sucks.)

I listen to bands like rise against mostly, nine inch nails... Protest the hero, lots of variety actually. trying to find some all-rounders ;)
 
Haven't ever heard the t40s, but I've owned pairs of t20s on two computers for about three years, and they're my all-time favorite 2.0 speaker set. I would guess the t40s would be similar but louder (?) ... anyways, if you can get them for $50, GRAB EM! I can't imagine you'd be unhappy with them.
 
M Audio AV 40's are 120-140 in canada. I paid about 70 for my T40's and love em. At $50, its a steal.
 
i have owned the t40 and the t20's
the t40 are better they have more power and more bass
for $50 they are the best 2.0
they are the best 2.0 speakers i have heard other than the 40av's
 
Listening from my onboard sound, I feel like the high bass (like some notes from bass guitar) seems rather bloated. It makes certain songs I have very unpleasant. The bass knob boosts around that frequency range too. I rather have it boosts around 70 Hz. There's not much boomy bass that gives hip hop music the beat. And I do not consider myself a basshead.
Despite the presentation of mids and highs by the T40, I prefer the lower quality of my old Logitech Z-540 because of its warmer sound signature.

But listening with my Cowon D2 (BBE=1, M3B=6) as source, it sounds a lot better.
 
I have them, and an external sub hooked up, frigging awesome. All the extra bass is picked up by an older creative subwoofer, sounds fantastic.

Best 50 dollar speakers ever ;)
