[usernamemax20charact]

Found this at Fry's Burbank today.

Creative T3000 speakers for $49.99 - $10 instant - $20 MIR = $19.99

For those without a Fry's near them, Outpost.com is selling them for $49.99 - $20 MIR = $29.99

Not sure about other Fry's. So YMMV

I was going to pick these up tonight (San Marcos), look like a nice little system. Headphone jack is a must.

This deal is back at Fry's locations in Texas. (MIR buy period ends Thursday 7/28)

I picked up a set because my Klipsch Promedias are in storage halfway across the country and I needed a replacement for my crappy old Altec Lansing ACS90s. Here's my take:

These speakers are surprisingly good, given the price. They only have 29 watts RMS power (Kudos to Creative for actually advertising using RMS, not just peak power), so they won't shake the house down, but at normal volumes, they definetly satisfy. The build quality is pretty good as well. The numbers below are pre-break-in, so I'll update them as soon as I've had the chance to play music through them for a few hours.

Lowest frequency I could hear from them was in the 40-50Hz range (as advertised!)

Highest frequency they put out was about 16KHz. (And yes, I can hear higher than that)

they are ok for 20 dollars. probably ok as any speaker up to 50 dollars. not saying much though..but at that price its ok for grandma or whatever.
