Hi, i'm trying to choose between two computer speakers, i'm not interested in a sub and i want a 2.0 system. I'm gonna be using them for everyday computer use and music listening. But i'm also recording my own music at home and going to be using them for this also (in addition to my hi end headphones). I'm tight on budget and space, and that's why i'm not getting professional studio monitors, this is for the future.

So what do you think:

MicroLab B77 (click on the english flag if the site doesn't appear in english): http://www.microlab.com/?r=Stereosystemen&st=full&id=571
Creative GigaWorks T20: http://us.store.creative.com/Creative-Labs-GigaWorks-T20-2.0-Multimedia/M/B000PHX68G.htm
Specs for the Creative T20: http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=66545

I couldn't find a lot of reviews about the MicroLab, but what i did find was always positive. Also read a lot of good stuff about the Creative. The price difference frightens me a bit, because the MicoLAb are only 85$, while the Creative are 143$. It could be just because of the name, and nothing to do with quality.. What can you tell me from the specs?
The MicroLab seems more well built, and i gotta say i like the looks. But that's not what most important to me, and i want to get the best sounding ones. What do you say?

Thank you!

Reason Creative is more expensive is because of when Creative acquire Cambridge Multimedia/Computer Speaker department, Cambridge had the SoundWorks MegaWorks system. Those days, Creative speakers compete with Bose multimedia. The T20 is more likely design from the same division.

But I would take B77 over T20. Just my opinion.
