    it's probably cause I started off the thread like this

    hifi speakers would be beyond my budget, but thanks for the recommendation (for future purposes)

    Re: 2.1 vs 5.1?

    I too am looking at the creatives. My quandary is that I've got another £15 Amazon voucher, so is it better to go for the t-40s for £55 or the t-20s at £35?

    Can't comment on the T-40's but the T-20's at £35 is a bloomin steal

    They are awesome.

    Re: 2.1 vs 5.1?

    Right, I read reviews for both on TrustedReviews, and although the T40s are the better speaker, the t20s are best if you're sat at a desk listening to them, which is what I'll be doing, so I ordered them. Should be getting delivered early next week...
