I have two sets of Logitech Z2200s and one Z5500. They are really hard to beat. I've played parties up to 75 people with the 2200s. Not sure what the current model is. They also have wonderful customer support.
I have two of those wire music stands with the tops converted to be holders for the satellites. I think Gary Diamond made them.
I keep a complete system in a duffel bag on wheels ready for backup use or for when I need a second pa.

If you could get a set of Logitech Z-2300's (there must be some still in stores) you sure couldn't go wrong.

Absolutely one of the best bang for the buck systems out there, with excellent sound.

Honestly I didn't care for the boomy sound of the Z2300 system sold it a few days later.... IMO its made for what it is a gamer sound system.

Yep, it works very well for games too...I have my PS2 and Gran Turismo 4 pumped through a set of Z-2300's, plus I have another set that I use on the Tyros4.

A killer, and versatile, system.

Hey Don, want to sell a set?


Like Scott,I also would like to know the replacement for the Logitech z-2300.

And I think John's Creative Gigaworks T-10 speaker set recommendation for the micro would be a nice "step up" for the onboard speakers, especially for home use. They have great ratings on Amazon, but mostly reviewed by Computer Users.
But I agree with Donny, a sub woofer is hard to duplicate in a 2 speaker set.

...still looking

Finally,

Anybody know?



Hi Scott,

I contacted Logitech and the rep claimed the replacement for the Z-2300 2.1 is your above mentioned Z-623, which seems logical, with nearly the same specs, and the same amount of punch at 200 watts. Not a bad price either Amazon price $130 smirk

The z-2300, although discontinued, Amazon has one for sale at $450 . I'll pass on that. cry

Larry,

I am not familiar with the Logitechs. The Creatives T10 and T20 have no subwoofer which may seem an omission. But believe you me you can do without them. However I was not talking volume here but quality.
If you play the Micro in your livingroom by itself it sucks. If you connect them to e.g. these Creatives it completely comes to life and delivers.
Not in volume ( although that too is better) but in quality................
And considering the price and size it is a steal to match.

regards.
John

Some guys, including myself use(d) the Roland CM30's in tandem for a great stereo sound. I've since moved to the Powerwerks(Kustom)PW50 amps. They sound great also, and now they are sporting a small sub to go with them. For those wanting more, they sell the PW100 series also.

I have 2 Logitech 2100s "now 2300" systems. I use one set for my home practice room and I carry another set in a large duffle bag for small nursing home type jobs. They work well and have been discussed at length here on the forum. They are a little lite in the mids but some eq will correct most of that. There are many on this forum that say these "computer speakers" will never work but they have never used them.
