A new class of desktop speakers made for the discerning listener who knows good audio. The Creative GigaWork T20 is a powerful speaker system that's made for desktop performance like no other. Featuring quality components such as cloth dome tweeters, stylized woven glass fibre cone drivers and BasXPort™ technology, the GigaWorks T20 is set to deliver unparalleled performance that will change your perception of desktop speakers.





Encouraged by these glowing reactions, Creative has gone away to try and improve on the T20s and the result is the Gigaworks T40s. Visually the similarities are fairly obvious. Both have the same sleek graphite grey exterior, with thick black plastic casing and removable protective grilles. On top there's still the BasXPort to help boost the lower mid-range, while the mid-range drivers are still made out of the yellow woven material that's so striking to the eye.

However, there are plenty of differences as well. Thanks to an extra mid-range driver on each speaker they're far taller and to offset this extra height each speaker now has a stand, a useful addition considering the T20s were slightly unstable. There are also some small but quite significant changes in connectivity, with the front mounted 3.5mm auxiliary jack replaced by a docking port on the back that's compatible with Creative's X-30 Docking Station for iPods. This isn't a change one can approve of either, it may help Creative sell more docks and iPod users won't be as inconvenienced, but the lack of a convenient front facing connector is a significant backward step. Ideally one wants both the dock connector and a auxiliary input, though presumably there's a reason why this isn't possible.
