I'm looking for some speakers to use with my iPod at work. I've narrowed it down to the Klipsch Multimedia 2.1, JBL Creature speakers, and the Bose Mediamates. Do any of you have any input on the correct choice to make? Your reviews are appreciated.
Bluefusion said:As for the Creatures... yuck. They sound TERRIBLE--anyone who thinks otherwise must have bought the Soundsticks because they looked pretty. Utterly lacking entire frequencies, the Creatures are the speaker equivalent of the Apple Pro Mouse--sure it gets the job done, but imagine what you're missing! I also find them ugly, though in a sort of cute way, so I understand the appeal. Likewise, the Soundsticks are beautiful, but for $200 I can do quite a bit better, thank you...
Bluefusion said:That's exactly the price you should pay... for $50 they're quite good. For $100, they're not.
And I'd still recommend Altec Lansing's ATP3s at $50 over the Creatures, and no i'm not an Altec plant.. just a fan

I have a set and they're great. When you come home, plug into your stereo system and you can have big sound. You probably won't need big sound (Klipsch) at work.
