  Duration of ownership:3 Years

  Strengths: -Great sounds (high's and low's)-Remote has power on/off switch, separate master/subwoofer volume dials, built-in headphone jack-compact yet powerful satellites-Composite audio adapter-THX cert.

  Weaknesses: -Not surround sound-Subwoofer's rear metal grate gets pretty hot - just keep it out-of-the-way

  Overall Evaluation: Simply put, these are the best 2.1 channel computer speakers you can get. Seriously. Still regarded as the best-reviewed set out there by critics and consumers. The price hasn't dropped over the years, but they're relatively affordable and totally worth it.If you don't need surround sound, these pack a humongous punch in a relatively small package!Logitech even supplies a composite audio adapter, so you can use them with game consoles, DVD players, etc.

  Strengths: For this price "THEY ROCK"

  Weaknesses: Somewhat short wires.

  Overall Evaluation: These speakers are made for computers, they are not meant to be a full range sound system. The price is great and if you want your computer to sound much better than average grab them. For computer speakers these babies rock.

  Duration of ownership:90 Days

  Strengths: Excellent sound. The bass is strong and treble is clear.

  Weaknesses: If space is an issue the large sub might be a concern.

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased a sound card at the same time I bought these speakers. I was so pleased with the sound of just the speakers that I returned the card. These speakers are a great buy. Don't get me wrong I would purchased the Bose Champion 3 series but they are too expensive. If you are the type of person that listens to music and can mentally separate every sound, tone, instrument, etc. then you might want something a little more highend. If price is an issue but you still demand decent quality these are a great choice.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Strong bass, easy to set up

  Weaknesses: No midtone range - not good if you listen to music.

  Overall Evaluation: Well, where to start.The bass of this set is pretty strong, even when compared to Logitech's z5500 sub. Unfortunately, that is probably the only thing that is good about it. The satellite speakers are built so that any sound coming out of them is like that of sounds from a tin can. It literally hurts my ears to listen to any music from this speaker set. Reading many good reviews about this product and assuming that the price backed up the quality of this set, I blindly purchased this set only to find there is absolutely no midtone, and that the sound cannot be adjusted to be any better (through different equalizer settings, etc).Bottom line: there are much better speakers out there for the price that these are selling for. If you like your music (and you don't even have to be remotely near to being an audiophile), stay clear of this set.

  Strengths: Not terribly expensive,Best Buy gave me the Promedias at the price of Logitechs

  Weaknesses: Bloated bass,Aggitated highs,relatively non-existent mid range,poor dispersion

  Overall Evaluation: Once upon a time I wrote a publication and I had to deal with PC speakers. Logitech was always one of the more accessible companies for PR but I never cared for their speakers. Anytime they came across my desk I'd never was terribly impressed..Today I no longer review PC speakers for $$$ so I've lost touch with the PC audio market. When I checked out, the Klipsch Promedias were still the king of the hill. Let's face it, PC speakers are cheap. They're cheaply made, and will never challange a good ol' traditional set of speakers with a quality receiver/amplification. Now my home G5 uses floor standing JBLs but for the office I needed something compact and cheap. .I've always respected CNET as a review site, they're generally every bit as hard nosed as I demand in a reviewer so when they tossed 9.0, I was rather impressed..I headed over to Best Buy and had them price match circuit city, to save $30. I took them home, tested out, what I heard wasn't the product I read about..The Logitech speakers by the picture looked like a classic 3-way design (tweeter, mid, sub) but instead used dipolar or Phase plug whatever, single nippilized drivers in place of tweeters. Trying to recreate a full 20Hz-20KHz range on two speakers is next to impossible. Somewhere it'll suffer. Generally quality center channels sport two-way designs and feature multiple mid sized drivers to make up for bass reproduction as two 5 1/2 drivers have roughly the surface area of a single 8 inch. However, when a single driver is forced to recreate roughly 6-7 octaves, somewhere it'll suffer. (See Bose for classic example of poor speaker design). 2-way isn't without one single strength. It eliminates the need of an extra crossover which adds to the cost and means more engineering. To properly blend a speaker over its multiple drivers so its not missing frequency ranges is an art. .Now a lot of people get excited by the THX logo, a "quality insurance" tag that a speaker maker must submit their product to (at the cost of the maker) to see if it meets the expectations of Lucas LTD. If it does, it gets a happy THX logo to press on the box. There's a bit of payola that goes on, because of the cost means some companies will never bother with the THX review process. However generally it has been an indicator that the product at least went through some form of engineering and testing. Its better than nothing..The logitechs are without soul. They pack in a ridculously over bassed sub. It isn't for music lovers at all, strictly loud booming undefined bass, great for booms and bangs, but not all the complimentary to listening to a great bassline. It'll chew up your hip hop and it'll mangle your rock. Its not a bad sub, but its application seems rather one sided. The sub itself really isn't all that bad but for speakers for listening to music in the office? Nope..The real weak point are the satillites, no matter the positioning they sounded off. The bizarre part is they sounded fine a room over, but in the same room they were nasally and much too narrow field. Vocals sounded lacked lower mid range making for unflattering voices. The highs seemed overly expressed. All in all it made for weak presentation..Going back to the reviewer days, the best speakers arguably I touched were the EV SonicXSes, no longer made. Big. Ugly. Agressive horn tweeters but never the less one of the most complete speaker packages made. They were the only thing that challanged the Klipsch Promedias. .Fast forward 5 years later to today. The Promedias are again without challange as Telex bounced out of the PC market much too fast missing the PC explosion that'd follow. .I returned the Logitechs for the Klipsch Promedias, the same speakers I touched 5 years ago. Without question the Promedias put the Z2300s to shame with much more balanced sound, silly horn tweeters, midrange drivers and sub and all. .Do yourself a favor, get the Promedias or try your luck for the EV SonicXSes or even more oldschool, the ACS-48s (They're still better than anything Altec Lansing has made in the past 9 years). This things are junk.

  Duration of ownership:2 Months

  Strengths: Amazing sound!! 2.1 with serious bottom end, and they sound extremely clear

  Weaknesses: none...hardwired (rca type connectors) satellites if you call that a weakness

  Overall Evaluation: I have the Z5300 and those things are sweet, but this, for use in my office at my desk, flat blow anything out of the water I have heard. Could maybe incorporate tonal controls, but that is a suggestion. They hold up well at high volumes, and they can be pushed! I am buying a 2nd set to install into my garage instead of using a bulky receiver and home speakers! A must for the money!

  Duration of ownership:1

  Strengths: Sounds like a complete surround system. Sub is so powerful I hardly ever have it passed half power and for the entire system I never turn it passed quarter power. No problem filling any sized room.

  Weaknesses: Could have made the remote wireless, but i could care less.

  Overall Evaluation: I had been looking at a set of bose speakers, but found so many negative reviews. After seeing one review that said they purchased the Z-2300 system after Klipsch system quit working and were extremely happy I decided to research logitech. Most of the cheaper systems only run at 30 or 40 watts, and was surprised that the Z-2300 had 200 watts and 400 at peak!!! I've only turned it up to 3/4 power once and the quality was still so clear while the bass was thumping. impressive is all i have to say. definitely gonna bring it out for parties.

  Duration of ownership:1 Years

  Strengths: Crisp Trebel Range, Minimal Distortion at higher volumes

  Weaknesses: Subwoofer not as clear as one would like, a little garbely.

  Overall Evaluation: This is a pretty good speaker system, though for the price range it falls into the Klipsch Promedia 2.1's are a much better system. The trebel is better, and the subwoofer is more natural sounding. Overall though a pretty good speaker set.
