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).

Pros: Great sound, good price.



Cons: couldn't they design it with a remote?
Physically large and heavy.

these set of speakers are by far one of the best ive ever bought... its got good sounds, good base and good treble(depends on the music you listen to) i was going to decide on buying the Bose Companion 5 to replace with the current logitech speakers that ive got... but after listening to them... i really couldnt tell the difference... and this is listening to the same music before i left the house... and put the same music on my usb and tried it on the Bose system... So i pretty much will stick to my logitech till it blows up on me!

Pros: very good sound! still can beat your home theatre system anyday! but u dont get the surround sound thats all. A nice big (and i mean BIG) subwoofer to go with the nice clarity on the speakers.

Cons: nothing that i can see realli....
