Summary: Great Value...
Review: For about $110, Logitech's Z-2200 system is great value that happens to carry the logo of THX certification. It has excellent clarity, more than adequate volume levels, and a powerful--although not always room-shaking--subwoofer. Whether you play a lot of games or just listen to music, it will do the job. It's also a particularly good solution for a college dorm, where space constraints can make a surround system impractical.In short, if you want a stereo setup that provides clear, powerful sound--and doesn't send you into bankruptcy--the Z-2200 is a great choice.

Summary: Excellent for the $
Review: The z-2200 are literally the exact speakers I was looking for: 2.1 speakers with solid sound for under $100 (I bought them for $93.99 from here in December, but as of this writing, the price has gone up to $110.94). I have been using these for over a month now, and I am quite pleased.
Why get a 2.1 system when you can get a 5.1 or 6.1 system for not too much more? I didn't need it. I use the speakers to listen to music 90% of the time (the other 10% is dvd's), and I don't play computer games. Also, I have a Powerbook, which lacks digital audio out, so I couldn't get real surround sound even if I wanted to and I am not a fan of the 'matrix' processing that companies put on their lower end 5.1/6.1 rigs to get a surround sound effect out of 2 channels- I prefer 2.1 to simulated surround sound. Also, low-cost 5.1/6.1 systems tend to not have the greatest sound. I would rather have an excellent 2.1 system than a mediocre or worse surround rig. Plus, you're not going to get any Dolby decoding in any speakers that cost around $100 Power: The Z-2200 is a very powerful system. The 40w/sattelite and 120w for the sub will fill up any medium size space. The sound doesn't start to break up until you get past the point of reasonability, too. Sound: When it comes to sound, I have three priorities: tight and punchy bass (not loud and boomy), crystal clear vocals, and the ability to reproduce fine details. This system is better at all three than anything in its price range, and is better than many systems costing far more. It's always a joy to hear something new in a song that you never heard before, and I've had several of those moments since I bought these. Vocals cut through exceedingly well. The bass is quite tight, not nearly as boomy as some of its competitors, which for me is a huge plus (though for you may not be). However, even at a quarter of full volume and the bass level set at the midpoint, you'll still feel the bass. While the speakers don't have an EQ response as flat as I would prefer, I have yet to see a set of computer speakers in my price range that do. (I don't consider the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's to be in the z2200's price range because, while their MSRP's are rather close, you won't find the ProMedia's available for anywhere near the Z2200's street price). One complaint that people may have when simply looking at the system is that it lacks tweeters. As true as this is, the metal plug in the center of the speakers is a dedicated speaker element for repducing high frequencies, eliminating the necessity of a tweeter. Design: The speakers look good, as do the sub and remote. The only downside, and it is rather a significant one, is that the wires are hardwired to the speakers and remote. Meaning that if you somehow fray a wire, you have a dead speaker. Not good. The inability to use longer wires is mitigated by the fact that the speakers connect to the sub with standard RCA connectors, so you can just get extensions from a place like Radio Shack if you need the speakers to be further from the sub. All in all, these are great speakers. If you're in the market for an excellent sounding 2.1 system, check these out. After all, THX doesn't certify just any product.

Summary: A hint to make the highs clearer
Review: This set is AMAZING. One thing they made wrong, though, is the cover of the small speaker, which absorbs a lot of the crispness and clarity you might want. But - there's also a remedy. Just remove the covers or rip off the fabric in order to keep the speakers protected. The don't look so good anymore then, but they sound VERY GOOD.
Finally, if you want more highs (it's true other systems produce clearer highs, like the Klipsch), move up the highs on the equalizer. Sure enough, this is one of the best systems you can get for this money - the quality is awesome.

Summary: 100% Impressed
Review: I can't believe you can get such great sound out of a speaker system at this price. I am way beyond satisfied with the clean, clear power of these speakers. They go extremely loud, look great, have a serious bass kick, and are super solid and high quality in appearance. All kinds of music sound good on them and they are easy to set up. Everything about them is great, including the price.

Summary: Excellent sound for a great price
Review: I have recently bought this product with very much hesitation.
The sound is excellent, this thing can go pretty loud, gosh.
I really recommand this product for people who likes to listen to great quality music or music very loud with also a great quality.
When I play good techno at a loud volume, I can feel the wind going out of the subwoofer through my feet, amazing.
A very good buy.

Summary: astounding!!
Review: These speakers are awesome!! Great sound, booming bass, loud as can be, and all for around $100. I spent 3 weeks looking for speakers ... reading reviews and checking specs. When i thought i had it narrowed down to 3 different sets i went down to the computer store to give them all a listen. (klipsh 2.1 pro, jbl creature, harmon kardon soundsticks)... the only of the 3 that were even close to what i wanted was the klipsh 2.1(they sounded great) but were out of stock... Then i saw the logitech's... similar specs, same wattage and actually a bit cheaper!! woo hoo!! I got them home set them up and was blown away!! They can handle heavy bass with no distortion... they are clear and did i mention LOUD!! They can easily fill a room for a party...i wasted no time checking out how they would handle everything from drum&bass to slayer.. as well as throwing in a dvd. I am a bit of an audiophile and would recomend these 100%. BUY THEM-you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Excellent Quality, Better Price.
Review: I've had these for about a week so far, needless to say the quality is astounding although there are no tweeters. If you want a really crisp high end, just take off the grills, problem solved. I, like most other people that read reviews, was totally scared that I would end up blowing the sub... So I heeded the advice of the pros and broke it in for about 15 hours. No blowage yet:), and I have had them pretty freakin loud. Some people complain that even when the bass is down it still overloads the satellites...well, you know, THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED AN EQUALIZER ON YOUR COMPUTER...it would pay off for you to learn how to use it. Unless you are Bill Gates, and just FEEL like spending the extra cash on the Klipsch Promedias, I wouldn't. I could almost swear they sound as awesome as my Boston Pro Series i have in my car ($600/pair).Do yourself a favor and get some!
