Logitech X-230 32 watts RMS 2.1 Black Speaker System - OEM

Pros: Extremely good power output, clearity throughout the volume, linear volume levels, VERY flat repsonse, very high output subwoofer, headphone jack conveinence, and slick design. And look at that price...

Cons: Absolutly nothing.

Overall Review: YEARS of audio work (car and home theater) and my ears are heavily trained to tell good from bad. When I read the reviews and looking for high end but cheap speakers, these won my attention and bought them. It only took me a few carefuly chosen songs to fall in love. The subwoofer is all the way down to match the fronts (I dont like a lot of bass, just a flat response) and no song can beat these speakers up! Put the sub in a corner of some sort, try and face the sub against a wall or somewhere flat for best output and low end.

Pros: Reasonable price

Cons: Just not "clear", they don't create the presence. Sounded dull. No treble control. The satellite speakers swivel but you can't change the tilt, which means that if you put them on a shelf at ear level, they're pointed upward.

Overall Review: I bought these because of all the high ratings here, my plan being to replace the aging set of very-cheap Labtec LCS-1030's I've had for many years. Well, those Labtecs sound tremendously better to me, they've very clear with a nice full range. I swapped them back and gave the Logitechs away.
