Logitech has the knack for producing quality speakers that last through the years, and the Z-2300 PC speakers are no exception. THX has certified that these meet its quality standards. Performance is crisp, but reviewers note weakness in the mid ranges when compared to highs and lows. Room size, PC card quality and/or speaker placement may play a role in this, however. With two 40-watt satellites and a 120-watt subwoofer, these speakers get loud without losing clarity or becoming distorted. The Logitech Z-2300 comes with an adapter, and you can also use them with game consoles and DVD players.

We found the most reliable review of the Logitech Z-2300 at CNET, though a review at About.com is also worth checking out. Plenty of owners post feedback about the Z-2300 on Amazon.com and Newegg.com.

2. About.com

Former computer peripherals guide Mark Casey says THX doesn't certify easily, and the Logitech Z-2300 2.1-channel speakers are "thick, clear, and detailed." He says, though, that a good PC card is essential for optimal performance. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)
