ive used X530 nd i also own Creative T6060 5.1. I wud say Logitech X 530 was 2x better than t6060 even though the rms power of t6060 is 3w more than X530.
Logitech has the perfection in sound, can be easilt compared to professional quality.

who ever may the manufacturer, you just go for the high rms one within your budget

as said earlier, higher rms is always not better.
Most speakers lacks somethin or other. In case of Creative Inspire or T6060, they lacks high frequency sounds. But their mids is more powerful, so the sound is highly imbalanced[more in T6060].
T6060's bass is lil powerful than X530[slightly] but in X530, sounds are balanced.
It has a gud woofer+mid drivers for mids + two neodimium tweeter drivers in each satellite for high frequncy. So the overall experience is gr8 nd dun feel irritatig.
But value Creative speakers can't even produce high frequencies.
But after all T6060 is higher in rms than X530, but is lower priced @4k.

LOL. very funny. RMS is not everything that matters. Mercury has high RMS speakers for 1/2 the price of Logitech's and Altec Lansing's but they suck when it comes to music quality.

What matters is :

1) Uniform sound across the room
2) Perfect balance of low's, high's and mid's
3) High quality wood of subwoofer
4) Driver sizes
5) SNR
6) Impedance
7) extra speakers in each satellite like tweeter in T6060 and dual driver design of Logitech X series
8) Higher power center speaker for better speech in the midst of heavy music/sound.

Truly, those tweter dun produce ny sounds!!!!! its true, but they dun even vibrate when playing under full volume, i tried touching those tweeters, but its there just for looks i think.
But such tweeters in ma car speaker[Sony oval 150rms with tweeters]. Those tweeter when touched, we feel like ^%$@%#$. It really vibrates.
But Creative are cheaters. I thought that the onboard sound is not able to produce such frequencies. I tried connecting to my W700i, ipod etc, but nono worked.

^^ What are you guys talking about? You can't feel tweeters vibrating! Those things vibrate several thousand times per second! You can't see or feel something that moves so fast! You see and feel woofers because they produce very low frequencies hence we can see and feel them move.

Btw is there any good and cheap 5.1 system with optical input and dd/dts decoder? How about Creative GD580? How do they sound and whats the price?

Creative GD580 costs a bomb, afaik. There is one model from Artis, a 5.1 speaker set that costs around 7k and is once given Gold award by Digit in speaker test.

Yeah I've read those reviews by Digit. But they don't have optical input nor a dd/dts decoder. I have a ps2 which has an optical output. I wanted a speaker system to connect to it. Anybody knows the exact price of GD580?
