Here is where we open the boxes and begin to get up close and personal with the product itself.

Set-up is very simple and you should have no problem settling in with these speakers.

For the purposes of our testing, we decided to put the Wavemaster Stax 2.1 speakers in a head-to-head battle with the gamer's entry level favourite, Creative's very affordable 2.1 solution.

For a set of speakers that comes in under £60, the styling and choice of materials are very impressive.

The back of the sub-woofer is as simple as it gets.

Nice touch on the satellite speakers: Heavy metal base and angle adjustment to give you complete control of the direction of your sound waves.

We just had to include a big shot of the control knob. Having the headphone socket on your desktop means, late at night, you can switch to ‘neighbour friendly' mode without needing to swap green jacks at the rear of your PC.

Here are the combatants – ready to (deep drum and bass) rumble. While the Wavemaster Stax 2.1 speaker system is likely to cost you >£20 more than the Creative speakers, both of them cost less than a tank of petrol in a small-ish car – so we're going to play them off against each other and ask, “Has Wavemaster delivered an audio solution that's worth more than Creative's?”

These are speakers.

We can look at them all day, but the proof of the pudding comes with the sound waves.
