Hi... I thought I was interested in the JBL Creature IIs, however, I've got some additional options.

Should I got with the HK Soundsticks II... how are they? What about the Bose speakers, both the stereo ones and companions?

Any other options?? I can get the SoundSticks for $119.

Really trying to find something that will compliment my mini as well as sound good...

Thanks.

I have some Logitech Z-3s that I use with my Mini. I have the woodgrain one, but they make them in aluminum too. I know they make them in woodgrain and black/silver. A better version, Z-2300's, is all silver, might match. I would recommend these.
They look that they'd match the mini because they're white and aluminum. I have the woodgrain ones, as I said above. I got them for $30, so for the price they performance is unmatched. They are not worth $100, IMO. The bass is a little muddy, but they are great overall speakers.

I have the HK Soundstick IIs and I love them. They sound fantastick very crisp and clean. They also have that look that just says Macintosh!

You can get the Soundstick IIs for $104 at Provantage.com. I deal with Provantage all the time they are reputable and very fast shippers.

Anyone out there have the JBL Encounters? They are the bigger brother to the Creature IIs and look like they might go quite nicely with the Mini too.

Yeech those are some ugly speakers....I'd just worry about knocking them down all the time; it's bad enough with my Z3's that have a wide base with rubber.

I think those JBL speakers look like little aliens and the sub looks like their space ship.

That's a great price until you add on the $21.95 ground shipping cost...

Brings it up to more than Amazon with free shipping.

But, thanks for the heads up though....
