 Love 'em January 6, 2009

Shopping around for speakers, you come across the term 'audiophile' a lot, meaning somebody who's spent their life learning how to hate sound until they have to get $5000 speakers to be happy. But when I bought these Z-2300s, I became a more literal type of audiophile, in that I've fallen in love with these speakers.
I phile their audio.
I read a lot about "missing mids" but I really haven't missed anything. Every single album in my collection of musicals, barbershop, country, 30s, soundtracks, classical, old rock, new rock, new age, pretty much everything but rap, sounds better in every way than it ever has before. Rap probably does too, I just hate it, so I haven't tested that.
The only thing that doesn't thrill me about this set is that you can't turn off the subwoofer. With a subwoofer this big, you really should have the option to turn it off, 'cause even with the bass all the way down, it can still make your headache pound. Otherwise, I find that about 11 o'clock on the control is perfect for background listening, 1 o'clock is perfect for focused listening, and sometimes you just gotta turn it all the way up. But really, with that super handy control, you can make any music sound just right.
Oh yeah, you also see these compared all over the net to Klipsch's 2.1 THX cert set. I'm not sure why. I listened at Best Buy, and that Klipsch set just didn't sound extraordinary at all. But then, it was a display set, you never know with those. And I admit, you can't feel as much of a thump when you put your hand up to the vent on the Z-2300s as you can with the Klipsch set. But I don't spend that much time petting the sub anyway.
Nutshell: Highly recommended.
 Very good speakers, minor complaints January 2, 2009

Sound quality is great, through the mids lows and highs. There is perhaps a touch too much bass at default (something logitech seems to consistently do) but you can get around it by lowering the bass setting on your controls.
This is an amazing value for the price, easily the best bang for the buck in 2.1 speakers. They have great quality, and at the volume I listen at, no distortion. This holds for games (COD4, WoW, Left 4 Dead), and music (I listen to most types, while favoring country, classic rock and classical). It handles Robert Earl Keen and Rachmaninoff equally well. The only complaints I have are minor: I do not like hardwired cables where I can't change thier length, and I'd rather the subwoofer be a bit smaller since it's honking HUGE. They really don't need as much bass as it can put out, and I'd like for it not to take up as much space as my personal laser printer. Other than that they're great though.
Great sound quality/power for price! January 1, 2009

I did some research online and decided I wanted this to use with my computer/ipod at my desk. My sister/bro-in-law had a logitech brand that is similar but not as high end. I am very happy with it! If you want something that is really good but not too expensive or too cheap, a good middle of the road system, this is it! :) No complaints!
Good sound, outstanding customer service January 1, 2009

We tried these speakers both on our computer and on our TV. The bass is incredible. When the train arrived in "Polar Express", we almost jumped out of our seats! For music, the system is perhaps a little weak in the midrange - we tend to keep the bass turned down a bit for the kind of mainstream rock we listen to, but it would probably be OK for hip-hop and dance music. Our first system developed a rumbling noise in the subwoofer. After a call to Logitech's tech help, they determined it was defective. They sent us a whole new system and required only that we return the control pod, thus saving the $30 shipping fee and the need to pack the unit back up (the subwoofer weighs about 25 pounds). We've purchased another smaller Logitech system for our TV, which we're also pleased with.

There has been such thorough reviews of these speakers, I will try not to repeat most of what has been stated.
However, I must tell you that you are NOT limited to the distance of the speaker wires OR the distance of the wired remote!! I have mounted this system and spread the speaker and the Woofer box and the remote contol to the distances that I desired, and the sound is Fantastic!
For the speakers, all you need to do is buy the rca extension cables (that have a male on one end and a female rca plug on the other end, the cheap ones work fine). They can be ordered in 6', 10', or even 25Ft lengths. These are used to extend the satellite speakers AND the inputs, ie DVD player, Tv, etc. to reach the large woofer box.
The secret to extending the remote control is.... You must use an old type.. VGA monitor 15 pin cable... like our old computer monitors came with..it must have a male on one end and a female 15 pin connector on the other end. OR if you can only find the male to male extension cable, then get a gender changer to change one of the ends to female. THE TRICK FOR THIS CABLE IS ... when you are shopping for this vga extension cable.. MAKE SURE.. it has 15 pins! many of these cables are missing one pin (they only have 14 pins). AND You can see this in the picture online if you look at the cable end, in the online pictures of this cable. Both types of cables can be found and ordered here at Amazon. Just search for a vga or svga 15 pin extension cable...and count the pins on the male end. You can get different lengths to suit your purpose. since I could not add a link above. Amazons link adder would not work for me.
go to SF cable and search for this product:
"HD15 SVGA Monitor Extension Cable, Male to Female with Ferrite Bead"
by SFCable DONT FORGET TO COUNT THE PINS ! And get the length you need to extend the remote control for your installation.
I have mine placed exactly the distance I wanted them to be apart. (I was also able to hide my wires with some imagination) and there is NO noticeable difference in performance with them extended far from each other. In fact, the sound is much improved by spreading the sounds out!
As for mounting the two small speakers.. If you pull the grill/cover off the front of the speaker, then with your finger nail, remove the 4 rubber plugs that hold the grill/cover to the speaker then you can remove the 4 (hidden) phillips head screws that hold the speaker half together. Then I drilled two small holes in the back half..and used the holes I made, to securely fasten them to the wall! Then reassemble them on the wall (I removed the bottom flat stand that comes screwed to the bottom of each speaker before starting). That they would normally sit on. So that they would fit flat against the wall...VERY easy to mount these speakers to a wall!!
SUMMING UP :
The ONLY negative remark I have about these, if you would call it that..is what other people have already stated.. the singing type of music is somewhat lacking.. I would have to agree with that. (I won't say better... but different, small speakers, would cure this. However.. for what I am using them for, they could not be better. This system as is... is fantastic for anything else ! DVD movies, Games, Computers etc. They are a full 5 stars for my purpose after extending them from each other.
LOOK NO FURTHER IF YOU WANT Great sounds for movies or games!
