Hi,
Just would like to hear from people who have tested both iSub anda JBL Creature...

How can I have a better sound, with my iMac speakers + iSub or with the JBL creature?

Thanks!
Dinis

Don't know about the creatures but the iSub is poorly supported on OSX.2.3 on my DP533. It doesn't mute using the mute key and it randomly disappears requiring it to be unplugged and plugged in again. Also since I got my powermate it keeps going to full volume. But I think that is the griffin software.

When it does work it sounds very good for a computer system. Good quality bass not too bloated. Better for music than quake which can only be a good thing.

However the creatures look fantastic....

Oh, and there's one more thing... I think one of iMac speakers is blown, but I only notice it with low frequencies, like strong beats.
If I bought the iSub, will it stop "vibrating"? (since the low frequencies are handled by the sub...).

Id just get the Sound Sticks instead of the iSub, they are better supported in the OS too...

Really? I though the drivers used where the same.

Anyway, they are so more expensive than just ths sub

I love the Creature speakers. They look great, and sound very good too, especially considering the tiny size.
