Manufacturer's Description
If you love music, you'll love the Logitech Z-2300, a 2.1 speaker system that combines everything you need in a sound system: THX®-certified performance and quality, beautiful looks, and more than enough power to fill your room with great sound.

The 200 watts of RMS power (400 watts of peak power) delivers thunderous audio for music, movies, and games, and the 8-inch long-throw subwoofer driver with flared bass port allows for powerful, distortion-free bass to be pounded out. There is a polished aluminum phase plug at the center of the driver outperforms conventional 2-way designs, and the included adapter lets you connect the speakers directly to your DVD player, CD player, or video game console.

All this allows you to exercise complete control over your listening experience with controls for both master volume and subwoofer, plus a headphone jack and power/standby button.

Incredible!
I have owned the Logitech x-230 2.1 speakers for a year now, and although they are a very nice set of speakers, they weren't quite powerful enough. I am currently in university accomodation, and house parties are quite the norm now. My x-230's were perfect for personal listening in a moderate-sized room but not for an entire house party.

After looking around for a more powerful set, and reading a hell of a lot of reviews, I decided to upgrade to these beauties. They were delivered in one day, and the box is about the same size as a decently sized portable television, weighing a bit more than you'd expect. They were very well packaged, there's no way they could be damaged in transit.

I brought them back to university accomodation, and set them up besides my x-230's. I did a comprison with the speakers, using various types of music and wow, they have a much warmer, purer sound to them. I am actually very surprised how good they do sound, the subwoofer really drives a good backbone to the pure, crisp sound that is driven out of the satellites. I have adjusted my equilizer slightly but that's only because I prefer a richer, deeper sound as opposed to a clearer, pure sound. You don't have to adjust your equilizer to enjoy some good music with these. I know it sounds strange but the speakers tend to sound even better with clasical and orchestra music. Metal music and songs with a lot of bass also sound great.

I played around with the subwoofer and found the best place for it is right in the corner of the room on the floor, opposite to the door of the room. With this, output of the subwoofer seems to increase, which is nice.

With the speakers set up, it's worth noting that the cables aren't very long. The cable length from subwoofer to satellites is about 1.5m, which pretty much means the subwoofer needs to be stationed under your desk or somewhere pretty close to the computer. I've tried music games and movies with the speakers and as good as they really are with music, they are trully superb with games and action movies. I played Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun with these and both sound effects and soundtrack was pretty superb. Indiana Jones played very well, not as good as a 5.1 system, but pretty damn good for a 2.1!

The overall build quality to these is very good, everything is very sturdy and looks like it was made with pure love. The control pad is a very handy addition to my desk, with the master volume & bass volume controls along with the on/off button and headphone jack located on there. I should warn that these are pretty damn loud. I've put my computer volume down to half, and with the master volume on 3/4 and the bass on 1/2 on the control pad (effectively meaning 6/16th of the satellites and 3/16th of the woofer (as woofer volume is affected by master volume too), thus 53 watts of the total 200), it is simply too loud to handle. I can't imagine what anything above 100 watts will sound like, but at the 53 watts I've had it on, the music could be heard clearly at 2 floors above my room, with doors open.

Overall, the satellites are clean and pure and the subwoofer is punchy and demonic. All-in-all, this is a system with enough quality to suit the living room and it's more than loud enough for a one-floor (or maybe two) houseparty, distortion-free. And for £92 these are certainly well worth the price.

Pros: Lovely clean sound from the satellites well complimented with the powerful subwoofer. Good build quality as you'd expect from Logitech, and what an awesome price too.

Cons: Relatively short cables for the satellites, limiting some setups if you want them on bookshelves or around the room away from the 'woofer.

Awesome product.

Frustrating!
The first time you hear these speakers they will blow you away (almost literally). The power they exude is awesome and the bass is fantastic. I have to say i was totally made up when i first heard them. Be warned however that as good as the sound quality is at medium volumes, once you turn them up very loud the distortion is very apparent, especially with the bass turned down. At high volumes the satellites simply cannot reproduce decent sound quality. Also i was very dissapointed that after around 6 hours of playing them fairly loud when i used them for a party, the left speaker now vibrates and humms permanently, further depleting the sound quality.

These are great value for money speakers, and are great for everyday use, just dont expect them to stay great if you give them heavy duty use.

Very Nice
This is a great buy if you're looking for a powerful 2.1 speaker system. It delivers great sound quality because its THX certified. It gives you more bass than you really need without waking up the neighbours who are next door, it's also a great bargin in terms of price. These speakers are top Quality which is what you expect from Logitech. In my opinion anyone who wants top quality but does not have the space to set up 5.1 or more speaker systems in there room then get these because it sounds better than my home cinema system downstairs which is 5.1 :-) You will know the difference as soon as you turn them on, also the external volume and bass control you get with the speakers is great when your playing games or using programmes because you do not have to keep switching to your desktop to turn down or higher the volume which is a great benefit.
