Reply: (edit)Watts is a electrical power rating, it has nothing to so with sound. 80 watts is the maximum power that the speakers can handle without damage. So don't connect a 200 watt amplifier to those speakers and crank it up all the way.

Reply: (edit)Cool looks rarely has anything to do with how good speakers work or sound. And I don't know where you got that 80 watts RMS from...it doesn't say anything like that at the Creative website: http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=25&product=439&nav=2 Asus A7N8X-X

Reply: (edit)I would imagine they are pretty loud. jam, the creatives are actually 79watts.
Satellites : 7W per channel
Centre : 21W per channel
Subwoofer : 30W
30w + 21w + 7w*4 (5.1 system has 4 satellites)
equals 79 watts of total power as advertised:

Reply: (edit)gamerman4, That may very well be...I was just pointing out that Creative makes no mention of 80 watts (or 79 watts) on their website. Asus A7N8X-X
