Creative is one of those companies that I used to admire when I was a kid but seized to do so after I got some knowledge about acoustics, electronics and other speaker manufacturers.

Yesterday, it announced the Creative Inspire T3130 and Creative Inspire T6160 speakers systems that stand up for Creative Inspire line's reputation for binding top performance and value. Both speaker systems were designed and engineered to deliver the best sub-sonic experience with a full rich bass and superior loudness, while keeping distortion to a minimum.

Each is capable of delivering the smooth audio at the highest decibels demanded by any music lover, movie fan or gaming enthusiast. Built with proprietary technology and clean designs, these speaker systems were made to stand out both aesthetically and acoustically, taking the Inspire T3130 and T6160 to superior levels in their classes, but at the same time keeping the prices in a competitive range.

The first that I'm gonna talk about is the Creative Inspire T3130, a 2.1 channel speaker system targeted at PC, notebook or MP3 player daily usage. It sports Creative IFP for satellites with improved sonic directivity and imaging. They have a convenient volume and power control via wired remote, providing ease of reach. The rest of the specs tell us that the subwoofer features a large, flared port tube for clean bass with adjustable bass control, while the magnetically shielded satellites enable placement near monitors or notebooks without causing image distortion.

The bigger brother of the T3130, the Creative Inspire T6160, is a 5.1 channel speaker system designed for the user that enjoys multi-channel surround sound. A Creative Phase Cap improves the high frequency dispersion that is proper for digital surround movies and games. The last but not least specification worth mentioning is the easy-access volume and power control via the wired remote control.

The Creative Inspire T3130 and the T6160 will be available online starting with late August 2009 for the prices of $85 and $135, respectively.
