They were introduced yesterday and I was wondering if there's any info on them floating around. Supposedly they're a good deal better tyan the first generation. I was surprised that they are visually identical.

I noticed the retail on the Creature II speakers is $30 less than the Creatures.. Which means something's been cut to lower the price. Definitely check them out and compare them thoroughly to the Creatures before you buy. I just bought a set of silver Creatures and after initially hating them I've gotten to like them.. It's taken a lot of EQ tweaking but they're getting there. Part of the problem is I have an SVS sub in my living room and this poor little Creature sub has a hell of big brother to compare to..

What is the Difference between the Creature and Creature II speakers?
The Creature II White has green downfiring LED's instead of the blue on the original CreaturesWhite.

The Creature II comes in gray. The silver metallic Creatures are no longer produced.

The new manufacturing process and material changes, enables the lower price point for the Creature II speakers.

The performance of Creature II is the same as the original Creature.
