The bose speakers have no amps but the creative do. They don't sound very good at all but the bose are not that bad.

I think they will probably have to replace the other amp as well to get them equal. They will be very loud because the volume on the repaired speaker is only set to 'one notch below a 1/4.' So if I set them to one notch above a 1/4, as I had before the problems, they will definitely be plenty loud.
