I have been using Creative Multimedia speakers system for quite a long time now. My first speakers were a 2.1 of which I cannot remember the model number now but they performed exceptionally well after which I bought Creative 5.1 Channel speakers that lasted for way longer than I expected.
It has been 7 years now since I bought a Creative T6060 speakers system for a price of less than Rs. 3000. The satellites are no longer functional anymore but trust me, I still have that the sub-woofer and I am still using it.
Creative is no longer selling this model so you will not find it in the market anymore but all the other speakers are equally outstanding. Almost all my friends are using Creative and never have I heard either of them complaining about it. Excellent base, bass, treble that sounds perfect whether it is music, movies or games. Their base is a little heavy so you cannot fire it up too much though. The best part about creative speakers is that you can easily find a matching sound card per your performance and neither the speakers nor the sound card will burn a hole in your pocket. Incredible surround sound from a Powerful sub-woofer and magnetically-shielded speakers which will easily last a period of 3-4 years without any problem at all. Plenty of mid-range options that are worth every penny and you will never regret buying a Creative product.
