I bought my Z560s from 2buystore before dell.com had their awesome offer.
The only complaint I had was that they assess sales tax to CA customers, although they're based in Florida.
Good speakers, but not perfect.
Main problems are:
Satellites hiss when you crank up the volume. Of course, with this sub, you wouldn't really crank up the volume that high anyway.
In Winblows 98SE, Creative SB Live! drivers were a bit soft. In WinXP, the native drivers are way too loud. So I have both the main and the wave volume down around 15% This is a drivers issue, rather than a complaint about the speakers. I might try Creative's drivers, but I'm concerned it will result in lowish volume again. I sometimes watch DVDs, which suffer from soft volume on PC software players, so too loud is better than too soft. Linux 2.4.16 kernel driver for SB Live! has volume at just about the right level though.
Finally, I wish the cable between the control unit and the sub was a foot longer. It's not short, but it'd be nice if it allowed you to shove the massive sub in a corner a distance from your PC/monitor.
