What do you think about the Creative I-Trigue L3500? How do they
compare to others?

I hope this doesn't sound like a silly question, but I have heard
opinions... can that speaker system require breaking-in before it
sounds good?

While I'm here. I've heard opinions about inexpensive speakers
trying to produce a lot of treble and base without good reproduction
of midrange? Is that common?

Thank you.

I have that particular 3-piece component which I paid about
$120 dollars. I like it for the price I paid and compare to the
other component of similar price back then. It sounded clean
and look attractive. Too bad I didn't took the time to listen to
MX5021 which Robert recommend above.

The L3500 suffers from hollow midrange just like many others.
Most likely due to poor cut-off freq. betw the bass unit and the
mini towers. As for breaking in, well, I don't know. I just don't
think of these things as hi-fi contender.

Eddie, I never pay any attention to THX certification. But I thought about
how bad computer speakers could be, and it turned out that THX on the 5021
saved me from that.
