Creative Gigaworks T40 Series 2

This Creative piece has been around for few months now, and we've finally gotten our hands on these flagship new speakers. A high-end 2.0 system, these speakers are something that we at Tech2 itch to blast on high volume. So here is the review after all the volume blasting...

Design and Features
These are some serious tallboy designs when it comes to the realm of PC speakers. This 2.0 system comes wrapped in an attractive rectangular case containing the 2 speakers, power adapter, EP wire, Dual RCA-to-stereo Adapter (TV adapter) and instructions in multiple languages. The set is quite heavy, and the power adapter is a heavy hulk of a transformer.

The front panels of the speakers are covered with detachable cloth grilles, whose build quality is not up to the mark for a high-end speaker. The pegs on the four corners might just break off if not handled with care. The story of the actual cabinet is the opposite. It’s a well made unit with a black matte finish bearing a mild luster. The front and back panel has a high gloss black finish, with a ‘pixie dust’ oriented style due to a mild glitter on the surface. The speakers are ported on the top panel, which is something unusual. There is an aux in and a headphone out below the knobs on the front panel.

The right speaker has the knobs, aligned in a row near the bottom edge. The knobs are quite pretty, with shiny metallic rims, and also a blue Led backlight around the circumference, when in ‘on’ mode. The drivers total 3, one for each speaker. 2 woofers measuring 2.5 inches each and a cloth dome tweeter. Creative calls their driver material “dual woven glass fiber”. The tweeter is positioned in the center of the two woofers. The max power is 16 watts per channel and frequency response is rated at 50 Hz – 20 kHz.
