These are actually Great speakers...I was a previous onwer....The sub is 40 watts and is definitely stronger than those creative speakers (They are all so Bad I won't tell you which ones
)
Anyways, they also accept PCM(digital out) wich is freakin' awesome for dDVDs, at least for this 2 speaker set. It also has "virtual" dolby which is good too...
I have Klipsch's now that blow these thigns out of the water, but still, for the price, they definitely hold their ground.
Good Luck...
