For people that have just plain 2.1 or 4.1 speaker systems for gaming, they don't really know what they're missing out for their experience. It was true, until the Logitech Z-560 THX certified 4.1 speaker system came around. With the Logitech Z-560 4.1...

Pros: Best overall for price! AMAZING subwoofer, innovative design, solid midrange, decent highs, looks great!
Cons: No treble control, hardwired inputs, single speaker (no tweeter), low quality and short speaker wire

Obviously at this price range, there are going to be compromises. These are evident in things like the speaker wire included. It's pretty low quality and high gauge (a bad thing). I wish the lengths were significantly longer. While some have called...

Pros: - Powerful bass - Above average satellites - Amazing price - Ideal for movies/gaming
Cons: - "Boomy" sub - M3D useless - Speaker wire - Lacking mids/highs

Most users usually move up to these from their paper cone tatterboxes. Obviously, the jump is significant. Known for their active subs, the 560's pound the ground. Bass shakes with authority, aesthetically good looking, and the satellites are quite goo ...

Pros: Extremely loud, wide range, superior clarity at high volumes, versatility, build quality.
Cons: The lack of a potentiometer, the supplied wires were of poor grade.

My old Altec Lansing 3 piece set gave up the ghost last December after a prolonged session with Return To Castle Wolfenstein. I needed a replacement immediately so off I went to my favorite computer retailer. I was actually looking to buy the Cambrige...

Pros: Bass, volume, style, THX certified, did I mention Bass?
Cons: Slight lack of treble definition

I picked up a set of these Z-560's after reading a bunch of very favorable reviews in the PC mags. After living with them for a few days, I definitely feel that they set a new standard in bang for the bucks as far as computer speakers go. I'm using...

Pros: Satellite’s sound quality, build quality, powerful sub and the price.
Cons: Bass is overpowering on certain frequency's, satelite covers are fragile.

Review of the satellites - The 560's carry full range drivers, on the outside (The midrange) in the middle (Metal phase tweeter), often people criticize full range drivers for being muddy, this is not the case with the satellites on the 560's. They are ...

Pros: Crystal clear highs, beautiful and powerful mids, and THUNDERING LOWS
Cons: Neighbors complain a lot

Back in about March I got a brand spanking new super fast gaming computer and I started thinking to myself...what's a super powered computer without super speakers? Well I went around town looking at surround sound speakers and compared them.

...

Pros: Price, Sound quality, power
Cons: none!

For Christimas I got a set of the Klipsch promedia 4.1. As much as I loved these speakers something always got to me. I'd always have to keep one of the satelite speakers unplugged. Whenever it was plugged in there was static coming out of not only...

Pros: More power than you can deal with, massive bass
Cons: Nothing major

Logitech makes some of the best keyboards and mice at a cheap price, and Klipsch makes the best computer speakers. What if the two come together to give you the best you could get at reasonable price?

You would get the Logitech Z-560 ...

Pros: Great bass, amazing price for power, stylish look.
Cons: No treble control, comes with high gauge(low quality) speaker wire.

Logitech isn't really know for making computer speakers, but I’m glad that they decided to try it. Logitech is most commonly known for their keyboards, joysticks, and their mice. I found these speakers for around $140 online, which is a very good...

Pros: Affordable, decent sound
Cons: Unreliable, satellite's are a bit dull sounding

Well, we're on our fourth set of Z-560's in less than 2 months. I guess I could understand this if we were really 'cranking' them for long periods of time, but we're using them in a very quiet coffee shop environment, where the volume rarely exceeds...
