Amazon.com Product Description
 |  | Logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speaker System
Hear your movies, music and games for the first time. Great sound. It's all in the details. This powerful speaker system brings them out in high-clarity THX-certified sound. From the fat bass thumps in your favorite rock anthem to the creepy hallway steps in your favorite horror film, you'll hear details you never knew were there. Add to that an impressive 200 watts of RMS power and you've got everything you need to rock your entertainment world. |
Key Features
| | Genuine THX-certified audio quality
Once you hear these speakers, you'll know why they're among the few that have earned the THX seal of approval. THX certification is the ultimate mark of audio quality and your assurance of a studio-quality listening experience. | 
| | 200 watts of bold, powerful sound
Hear and feel the music with more than enough power to rock the room. Go ahead and turn it up. The speakers are built to deliver clear, detailed, distortion-free soundâeven at window-rattling volume. | 
| | Phase-plug drivers for more accurate sound reproduction
From the soaring high note in a guitar solo to the loud burst of jet engines in an action movie, Logitech Phase Plug drivers make sure you don't miss a sound. A cone-shaped aluminum Phase Plug at the center of the driver helps to accurately reproduce high- and mid-range frequencies with less coloration than standard drivers. And because the Phase Plug acts as a heat sink, the driver is better able to preserve dynamic range. So you hear the quiet of a whisper and the loud, full force of an explosion. The Phase Plug even acts as a reflector, creating a much wider sweet spot of mid to high frequencies compared to conventional speaker designs. The bottom line? The true sonic signature of your movies, music and games comes through loud and clear. | 
| | Long-throw subwoofer for rich, room-filling bass
Intensify your movie, music and gaming experience with distortion-free bass that goes extra deep. The powerful 8-inch, 120 watt driver reproduces the wide range of low frequencies that deliver room-shaking rumbles and rich, tight bass notes. And with Logitech's flared side port, the port noise that can occur with subwoofers is eliminated. It's big, bold bass without the distractions. | 
| | SoundTouch⢠remote for easy control
You have complete control over your listening experience with this sleek wired remote. Control master volume, subwoofer level and power. There's even a headphone jack for private listening. | 
| | Audio adapter for quick device connections

 I bought a second one for the house March 21, 2010
M. Nelson (Texas)
I needed better computer speakers and was thinking of taking the computer with music and speakers to parties. This one has plenty of volume and sound quality! So now I bought a second set for the computer at the house. Nuff said.
 A very solid all-around set March 18, 2010
Robin Solsjö Höglund (Skellefteå, Sweden)
I've had the Z-2300 for a while now, and it still performs nicely - it's a really solid system for your computer, especially if you happen to listen to a lot of music. If you like thundering bass, this one packs a punch. I've turned it up slowly, now it's perched close to 50% bass, and that's all I'll ever need. Lady Gaga tunes (yes, I have those) thump the room, brutal death metal kickdrums vibrate like cannon fire, and even the right pop tunes will surprise you - hearing a moment of bass "dropping" (the only way I know how to put it) is fantastic. But you shouldn't be quick to discard the treble either - overall it's great. If you've got a good source, you'll hear voices sounding very present, and if you happen to watch a movie where a phone rings, it'll cut you with its shrill sharpness. Startling. I also happened to watch a movie recently where the villain throws his voice - a magnificent effect, felt just as if he was right in the middle of the room. But that's as close at this one ever gets to surround.
I use iTunes for music (some of it lossless), and that sounds all the rage, but what about other sources? For a few gaming nights, I plugged my Xbox360 to the computer screen (special screen-cable sold seperately) and plugged this system in with the adapter that comes in the package. Modern Warfare was a thrill - you might not get the surround effects, but you'll hear the bullets whizzing near your head, and the heavier weapons and grenades provide some real solid thuds. The effect was so solid that I eventually used it to play through all of the campaign in MW2 - a real treat for sure, immersive and suspenseful as ever. But if you already have a good surround system, I'd recommend getting a good toslink optical cable instead - only that will give you the true gaming surround experience.
As a source for movies, it can truly shine as well - but I found it needs the proper settings. I'd sadly already watched movies like 300 and Terminator Salvation with the settings wrong, whereby I found the dialogue in center and the effects lacking. But if you're using say The KMPlayer (as I am), I found boosting the DTS volume to around 65% and then disabling the audio plugins setting does the trick - now it hits hard where it's supposed to, and a movie like Inglourious Basterds gives that extra surprise punch when the dialogue kicks in to action all of a sudden. Just wish I'd found that out sooner..
The headphone jack on the volume control thingamajigg requires you to press them in with an audible click. They work great though, so that's just a minor "flaw" if you could even call it that. Another thing is that there are only three outs on the bass speaker itself - two stereos (speakers) and one for the volume piece (plus a power input). This was clearly designed to be used as one system - one small cable into the green headphone jack on your computer. No optical, no coaxial, no way to use the bass seperately. It will also be quite cumbersome if you want to bring it to a party - carrying this thing around anywhere is basically out of the question. If you really want it for dance practice or something, find a car with plenty of space. If you have neighbours right nearby that are easily disturbed, I'd recommend getting something more subtle. If you live in an isolated house and have people over to party often - go for it.
I just recently learned that the main volume control cable (which is attached) can't be replaced if it happens to break. That would probably be the most major flaw of the entire system - and that detail may make you want to rethink your purchase. If you're just careful with it though, this is a very good system that's sure to last for a long time.
To summarize - a really solid system if you don't mind annoying people nearby. The sound carries incredibly well, but if you listen to tunes often and you want an extra punch, this is for you. If you're thinking of using it as your main movie system, I'd recommend playing around with the settings - if it sounds weird, it's probably the settings, not the system. If you're a gamer and want to rock the M60, this is a really good choice, but superflous if you've already got a surround system.
I wouldn't qualify as an audiophile, but I like trying to get the best sound I can on a young man's budget. That's why I haven't given this a full jackpot - eventually I'll complete the system with a NuForce Icon and some good Sennheiser HD650 Headphones. If that changes my view of what this system is capable of, I'll be sure to post it in comments or rewrite my review.
Great audio March 16, 2010
C. Ahuja (Dallas, USA,)

Geat sound at good price. March 10, 2010
Jeffrey Johns (Washington Il.)
This speaker system is very good and will enhance the enjoyment of your pc experience.If only the controller wire was a bit longer for ease of use.
 Great with a few hickups March 5, 2010

Not much to say.. we all know that these speakers are great. There are only two problems that I find:
1. There are no grooves on the dials making turnng the dials on the volume/bass control a little irritating
2. The Bass does not go completely mute unlike in the homologous Bose speakers. So if you want to listen to music without much base so as to not disturb people in adjacent rooms you'll have to simply turn down the volume. Something that could have been prevented had the provision to turn bass completely down been made.
