After all, having a sound card with the processing power of a nuclear station counts for nothing if the sound is being squeezed through a pair of little plastic boxes that cost less than a couple of beers. So do Creative's Gigaworks ProGamer G500s push the audio envelope still further?"</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/1937-speakers.jpg" /> <br /><br />Ever since teaming up with Cambridge Soundworks a few years ago, Creative Labs' speakers have really raised the bar for PC sound systems. I'm surprised these weren't reviewed more favorably. The external volume control knob is a nice touch, as is the ability to plug a DAP into the external volume control. The external remote also allows users to control the volume of the front and rear speakers independently. If you're more into games than you are music, this may be a good speaker system to consider.
