I purchased it on ebay and when I recvd the box I was surprised at the size and weight of it - It must weigh between 15 to 20 Kg and it is too heavy for one person to carry for more than a minute. Logitech don't mention the weight in the specifications, as I assume that it may put off people.

My only gripe is that there is no control to increase or decrease the Treble

My son has a JBL CREATURE II set of 2.1 DESKTOP SPEAKERS, which is light weight and gives a reasonable performance and this has a Treble and Bass control on the sides of a much smaller but adequate sub woofer

Pros: Sound is good
The wired remote control is very good and easy to use, but lacks a Treble control

Cons: Very heavy and Sub Woofer is very large for PC Speaker system and unless one has space under the computer desk to accommodate the sub woofer one can have problems.
No control to increase or decrease the Treble

I just got these yesterday, but set them up 2 day, and all i can say is there extremely guudd the sub is soo pwoerful

being the owner of the logitech z5500 (best model of the logitech range) all ican say is that these are the olni set of speakers that could possibly rival the z5500

Pros: heaps powerful sub
nice professional look of the speakers

Cons: speakers cant be mounted due to their design

I went and picked mine up yesterday
God, i lol'd so hard when i saw the box on the trolley. I was expecting something FAR smaller. (I was thinking something Z-4 sized btw)

i lol'd all the way home

Pros: MASSIVE BOOM BASS
Sub looks absolutely impressive on a desk. (Not enough floor space here)
'Wired' remote control has it all (except for a mic input. Would've been nice with one)

Cons: MASSIVE BOOM BASS (house shakes)
Weak/missing/lack of midrange (but who cares?)
Sub is difficult to position in room (due to the cause of not knowing the dimenisons earlier)

The Z2300s have deep (though boomy)bass and bright treble, but a disturbingly noticeable lack of midrange. If you are after something approaching hi fidelity, these are not for you. If you are after boom-boom bass, these will suit you fine. Having been into hi fidelity for many decades, I was disappointed with the fidelity of the speakers given the enthusiasm of CNET's reviewer (and I suspect that the reviewer's expertise may lie in areas other than hi fidelity sound). Notwithstanding, for the price they do represent excellent value for money; one can hardly expect $1700 sound from $170 speakers. 6/10.

Pros: Ample power output, very strong though ill-defined (boomy) bass. Suitable for gaming and popular music.

Cons: Significant midrange drop-off (which exaggerates the stereo image as a by-product).
