I have spent $1000 on car stereo systems. I have used the 2-piece Bose computer speakers. I have also used old models of Logitech speakers.

The sound quality of these z-2300 speakers is simply amazing and blows everything out of the water hands down. With the Bose 2-piece computer speakers there is no woofer so it is completely lacking deep sounds.. something you NEED if you are a computer gamer because it helps immersing you in the game. The woofer on the z-2300 is much bigger than I expected, and also much louder, considering it is only 200watts, it feels more like 500, maybe because with a computer sound system you are placing the woofer right at your feet. You can really FEEL it, a good marker of the quality of base, and it doesn't distort (no rattling, no crackling or distortion). I didn't even turn it up all the way because I thought it would be too loud. These are the kind of speakers that if you play them late at night cranked up your neighbor will hear. There is a remote you can place on your desk that allows you to turn the base and sound up or down to your liking which is very cool. These are high quality speakers. You definitely get what you pay for and then some.

Some reviews I read from the pros said these are the only 2.1 speakers to buy. They are correct. One negative thing a lot of the reviewers said about these speakers is the left and right speakers are locked in an upward facing position. I guess they didn't think of putting the speakers on their side!

Anyway these speakers are perfect, they gave me everything I expected and then some. They are the lowest priced THX certified speakers too.

BUY THESE SPEAKERS! =)
