I tested the Inspire T6300 5.1 system with and without the PC’s Sound Blaster Z soundcard. This came in real handy depending on the game or movie running. Plus the subwoofer features a dial on the back to enhance or decrease the bass. The system seems to handle positional audio better than conventional speaker systems. I booted up few game – Battlefield 3, CoD: Black Ops 2, Borderlands 2, Trine, Planetside 2 and WarFrame and watched a couple movies – Madagascar 2 and Avatar. Moreover the bass is stronger from this subwoofer than the larger and decidedly heavier GigaWorks 500 sub. Highs are crystallized and full but bereft of any hollow, tinny sounds. That is to say, none of the 3-ranges seems to play the background to either of the others. The GigaWorks 500 never provided the sense of completeness that the Inspire T6300 does. The tonal accuracy and clarity across all ranges is amazing. Silly me! These are an incredible set of speakers. Yet I was concerned the overall performance would be hamstringed in some way. It should take up much less floor and desk space. Across the board, the subwoofer and at least three of the satellites speakers are much smaller. I was surprised, Creative’s Inspire T6300 speaker system is about half the size of the GigaWorks 500. You also get a warranty sheet and quick start guide. The dial can be used to power the system down with a click past the lowest volume. The system is controlled by a wired remote with a volume dial. Each speaker is capable of 7 watts RMS per channel with the subwoofer pumping 22 watts. The 5-speakers plug into the included subwoofer. The Creative Inspire T6300 includes two larger front satellite speakers, 2 smaller rear speaker and another smaller sized satellite for the center speaker. I bet it would still work just fine, if I plugged it in now. That system remained in the office pumping tunes and game audio for about 5 long years post coverage. The last time I spent time with a high-end speaker system from Creative Labs was a review I did more than 5 years ago for their GigaWorks 500 5.1 Dolby THX speaker system. This is the flagship model compared to the T3300 dual satellite stereo system also in the Inspire line. Creative Labs leading 5.1 surround speaker system is the Inspire T6300.
