They are nice looking....but how's the sound quality? How is the bass production?

I wonder when is Creative going to produce any wooden 2.0 contenders to Edifier or Microlab or SVEN or some low-end studio monitors like Mackie ... all they do now is plastic micro-gigaworks or plastic-micro 2.1 i want something bigger that works

Unless Creative have found a way to bypass the laws of physics, these aren't going to have enough bass. Small speakers can't push enough air. No way around that.
These will need a sub. I assume these are just for looks and not for sound quality and in order to make them not sound like crap, they're obviously just going to use EQ and apply a V-shaped curve to make the sound less offensive.

Seems every year speakers get worse....

There's some good DSP active speakers on the market in the ~$300-$500 price range. Bosse and Edifier for example have made some really good speakers in that segment in the last couple years. You can now get multimedia speakers with DSP that put out sound that's actually decent. I've got a pair of S1000DBs recently, and they have no trouble filling the whole room with high quality sound.
Last time I was in the market (around 2012,) there was nothing available. Things seem to have changed. What hasn't changed, is the majority of the "gaming" manufacturers (Creative, Logitech, etc.) putting out crap. But if you do some research, you'll know to stay away from those brands now and go for the decent ones.
