Let me start by saying, "wow". At more than twice the price of the Eagle Arion 2.1Eagle Arion ET-AR506-BK 2.1 Soundstage Speakers with Dual Subwoofers - 20Hz to 20kHz, 100 Watts speaker system I just returned, I had high expectations. These speakers meet them easily. Not only is the sound qaulity that much better, but the ease of use makes me certain the price was worth paying. I read several reviews, both here and at places like CNET and other online review sites. This set was highly recomended and I suggest that if these are in your price range, you make the purchase. You should check out other review sites before making any purhase, so I suggest you do. The cables and connections are long enough for my use. Part of the reason I returned the Eagle's was due to short connections. But the biggest reason I like these over the Eagle's, is the remote. It has a power button. Seems so simple, but so necessary. There is a power switch on back of the subwoofer and with out the power button on the remote, you would have to reach under your desk to turn it off each time. The Eagle's did not have this. Also the blue led on this remote doesn't blind you like the one on the Eagle.Digital camera Review: 4.1+ vs 2.1 THX-Certified Logitech System
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this system to replace my old Logitech Z560 4.1 Computer Speakers (5-Speaker, Black). At the time I paid over $200 for that system, so that gives you an idea on how much a bargain this Logitech Z-2300 THX-Certified 200-Watt 2.1 Speaker System (Silver) is. (Note that my old Logitech system works perfectly still, but I decided to switch to a 2.1 system for its simplicity.)
Improvements from the old 4.1 system include:
--redesigned remote control. It is smaller than my old system's and does not easily fall over.
--speakers plug in easily and securely. My old system used traditional speaker wire, which was appropriate so that the 4 satellites could be positioned far away from the subwoofer they connect to. The trouble is that the wires don't actually plug in, so you could easily have disconnected your speakers if you tripped on the wires if they were running on the floor.
Make sure you consider the size of the subwoofer, which is 11" square by 15" deep. It is crucial to allow enough space behind the subwoofer to allow air to circulate to keep it cool.
I use this system on my Sony VAIO PC with the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Sound Card and am very impressed. From opera to hip-hop, these speakers can accommodate any taste in music - highs, mid-tones, and lows. The treble is crystal clear, and the bass is full. The bass dial on the remote control makes it easy to adjust your sound without tinkering with one or more software control panels. For those of you with compatible sound cards and software, you will love the difference DVD-Audio or Super Audio CDs bring when paired with a great speaker system (albeit will be only Advanced Resolution for this 2.1 system).
In sum this system will put you to a new level in sound quality for your music and the power to move you for any action games you play. It's easy to set up and go, but more demanding audiophiles or hardcore gamers might want a more scalable system. To get the most out of your audio or gaming, you will want to use a high end sound card to go with your THX-Certified speakers.
Crank it up!
Digital camera Review: 9 on the Richter Scale!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me mention a few cons first: the speaker cables are short, and the speakers take a long time to break in. Mine took about 75 hours to sound their best. Now on to the pros of these awesome Z-2300's. The sub hits like an NFL linebacker. It easily creates tremors through the concrete floor in my basement. It isn't just for earth shaking pleasure, the sub can also hit any tough bassline you can throw at it. The woofer sounds great when it's shaking your house or providing a smooth undertone for your tunes. The satellites have great high range capability, and decent mid range. Just put some Mannheim Steamroller or Rammstein in to find out! The satellites are really powerful and sound great along with the sub. The whole system sounds great on my SB Live 5.1. I turn the sound card volume down to about 80%, the speakers sound better at this setting. Just encode your music at a high bitrate (256kbps) to get the best from these. These Z-2300's are a well balanced system with great looks, quality, and sound.
The Logitech Z-2300 is my favorite system, and I've heard the Klipsch Promedia GMX A 2.1. (The Klipsch had sweet satellites!). Highly Recommended.
Digital camera Review: A GAMERS' IMMERSIVE DREAM!
Summary: 4 Stars
A have these 2+1 speakers set for over a year now and they have not stopped to amaze me. The sound is clear yet powerful and they are perfect for both immersing into the worlds of PC games and listening to music.
The L&R speakers are small enough yet they produce impressively deep sound. Paired with a good THX Audio card, how your PC sounds will never be the same! They come with a (removable - but be careful) front mesh which makes cleaning them easy.
The subwoofer is powerful and one has to really play with the sound card equalizer to be able to hear any bass distortion.
What I really liked was the wire remote which includes Power, Volume and Bass controls - and sports a handy earphones outlet. This is very convenient since most earphones do not come with long enough cables to comfortably attach directly to a PC case outlet.
My only complains would be: (a) the remote is attached to more than one wire of unequal thickness and of not enough length (you will be able to keep it on your desk only if the PC tower is just below and the subwoofer nearby), and (b) that the subwoofer is too tall to fit under my desk (at 11inches [28cm] it does not fit under the drawers on the side I would want it) so I had to keep it outside my desk, increasing the number of visible cables.
Besides that,
RECOMMENDED!
