Stereo sound systems are a good solution for the office user who likes music and movies while they work. Or for the gamer on the go. Or if you just don't want to deal with the wires or expenses of a 5.1 system. Of course you want to get the best sound from a 2.1 system at the cheapest price possible. What if we told you that you could get 180 watt subwoofer, 2x 40 watt satellites, 400w peak power, THX certified, all for about $150 USD? Well with Logitech's Z-2300 speaker system you can. It looks good on paper but how's it performance on your desk? Read on as we find the answer.

Details:	RMS: 200w Peak: 400w THX Certified Frequency Response: 35Hz - 20 kHz Two Year Limited Warranty

Logitech, heard of them? We thought so. They've been in the electronic business for a while and have made quite a name for themselves that brings about thoughts of loud speakers, responsive peripherals, and great product quality overall. The Z-2300 Speaker System from Logitech is a 2.1 system. We were expecting another 5.1 set but they've decided to re-define the 2.1 market. Pushing out 120w 8" subwoofer, 80w (2 x 40w) 2.5" satellites, THX certification, and all for $150 (or less). It looks unbelievable on paper and gave us high expectations, although we still couldn't disperse some skeptic thoughts. All of that in a 2.1 system for $150? There's a lot of 5.1 systems that don't even have this kind of power, let alone 2.1 setups.

"If you love music, you'll love the Logitech Z-2300, a 2.1 speaker system that combines everything you need in a sound system: THX®-certified performance and quality, beautiful looks, and more than enough power to fill your room with great sound.
