For the people that owns any of these two, can you tell me if its worth the money or at least reasonable for the price of the product? Should I dish out the extra $70 for the Harman's? Is there a big enough difference to justify purchasing the harman's over the JBL? I will be using this with my "12 pb in my room.

JBL Creature 2.1 Speakers vs Harman Kardon Soundst

I was faced with the same choice, and opted for the JBL Creature Speakers. I'm not an audiophile, and I'm sure those that ARE audiophiles have quite detailed (and absolutely relevant) things to say about the quality of both products.
I went with the JBL because it was a non-USB connection. I can plug them right into my iPod, in fact, and get a great instant music system. And of course they both look very stylish (though so do the SoundSticks) and both were scads better than the cheap little speakers I was using.
I also found the footprint of the JBLs to be smaller than the HKs, which was a plus for me.

I concur, I've had the HKs for over a year now. Everyone that sees them still says 'What the hell are they, and what is that glowing jellyfish thing in the corner?' They sound great and compliment the style of the system seamlessley. That said, I'm not an audiophile and have a 70 ($100) AIWA bargain basement LoFi as my main stereo and a 15" television. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
I suppose I'll have to get a 5.1 speaker set when I upgrade to the 64bit machine when they arrive /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif. Simply to make up for the poor quality TV/stereo habit I seem to have acquired.
