Andrew, I have both the SoundSticks (for home) & JBL Creature (for work). They are powered by the 17'Al (otherwise known as Jlo's Ass!). If I was to do this exercise again, I would buy another set of the SoundSticks for work as well. The Creature's sound great, but no comparison to the SoundSticks, when you put them side by side comparison. Also, the finish is far better on the SoundSticks... But then the advantage of the Creatures, you can use them with your iPod. But then this all depends on your music taste - best advice = try them both. Good luck. Graeme.
