By co-incidence, my old JBL speakers suddenly developed a nasty crackle in one speaker, so I had to retire them.
Fortunately I had a spare set of Creative T10s (snap Ian! lol) which I was able to swap over. They sound pretty good for music, movies, etc., despite only being stereo. For gaming, I prefer to use my headset too.
Hope you're enjoying your new speakers Feckit.
