Just wondering... If you want Loud speakers then are your parents not going to kill you just the same as if you where gaming on Surrounds? . Get a budget set of surrounds and you'll be happy you did. Not too loud yet not to low and some sound decent.

They are monsters indeed, aren't they? (and I like how you put it ).

Yes but this is a comment of "FANBOYISM" and we generally try to ignore. It was filled with no facts (eating Althech Lansing and pooping out logitechs is not a fact). It where however funny.

It is obvious that you have no real experience with speaker products like Logitech. My Z-5500's peel plaster, couple that with my Creative X-Fi Platinum and It can take down the building .

Edit:

I suppose it is important to say that the sound Quality is excellent on the last two Logitech systems I've had. The highs are high and the lows are low and everything in-between is there also.

When I bought my Klipsch speakers, they were marked down (at Circuit City) due to one of the satellites having a slightly detached (but still functioning) midrange speaker. After getting it home, and unsuccessfully attempting to correct it, I decided to return them (even though I did like the sound) and purchase a NEW set. I was aware that the Klipsch's was the last of that kind, in the store, so I thought that I'd try the Logitech line. The Klipsch's had a reduced cost of $60, due to their condition, and I happened to pick up the Logitech Z-2300 set for $40 more (they had a $99.95 sale price, down from $149.95). The set was very impressive looking, and had a LOT of power. Did they sound bad? No. But did they fit my listening pleasure? No. You see, as an amateur songwriter/musician it is so very important that I have as clear & defined sound reproduction as possible. The Klipsch speakers may not be the absolute best on the market, for this, but they are the best that I have heard. The Logitech's were nothing to sneeze at. They really were a nice set of speakers, and would have served me fine if I were more into gaming and such. They just didn't stand up to my very critical listening demands.

So I returned those to the store, and re-purchased that defective set of Klipsch speakers. The bottom end wasn't as strong as with the Logitech set, but the definition & clarity was indeed there. The mids and the highs were also quite noticably better with the Klipsch's. It turned out, a short while later, that the manufacturer (after query) sent me a new satellite & control pod (which was fraught with static upon rotation of the volume knob).

.................................................. .................................................. ....

There are some very nice computer speaker sets on the market, and it will be up to the end user to make a determination as to what is best - and sounds good - to him/her. I could get a pair of the Altec Lansings, or the Logitechs to go with our laptop - without the slightest problem, because the application & needs would be different.

I hear ya.. Although the Z-2300 don't speak for Logitechs entire line of products . They are a simple 2.1 set that should be considered more of a budget speaker to me.
