When it comes to our audio components, we’re not finicky – and by “not finicky” we mean “cheap”. Sure, we like high-fidelity sound as much as the next guy, unless the next guy happens to be Ray Dolby. We’d just prefer to spend what little discretionary income we have on the finer things in life. (Speaking of which: hello, Kandee and Starre! Get ready for another visit from your best customer this Thursday night! Make sure you tell the DJ to cue up “Stroke Me” – you know it’s our favorite!)

So when we saw this Creative Inspire T2900 2.1 Speaker Set, we thought, “Sure, it’s nice, but it’s gotta be out of our tax bracket.” We’re just sayin’: separate midrange and tweeters in each satellite? A wooden subwoofer with a 5.25” long-throw driver and a dual flared port tube? Who are we, Daddy Warbucks? And that’s before we even get to the wired remote that integrates M-PORT controls to stream music from compatible Creative Audio players. Sorry, Creative, but J. Pierpont we ain’t.

Then we noticed that it’s only thirty-one bucks postpaid, and our iron resolve began to rust. Why, that’s only a few dollars more than one of Kandee’s private performances! Or, to put it another way, it’s equal to three of the Velvet Club’s rather unhygienic shrimp buffets. Surely, we can deprive ourselves of these pleasures for a couple of weeks in exchange for the smooth, foreceful audio the Creative Inspire T2900 2.1 Speaker Set provides. Ring us up – we’ve found a 2.1 system even a cheapskate can love.
