Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

To preface, I am an audiophile and have spent countless years at my father’s recording studio hearing some of the best studio monitors out there. I am by no means comparing computer/home theater speakers to the likeness of a pair of $6,000 Genelec studio monitors, but I have high regards for these Logitech speakers. To be honest, I bought these speakers alongside a monitor for my PC not expecting much other than knowing that for a fact they will at least be better than the speakers found in my TV, which I was using as a monitor for the longest time. When I received them, I quickly set them up and played some music from my phone. I was simply blown away at the sound quality that these speakers put out even when they were not properly setup in terms of placement. Once the speakers were properly setup, I was even more amazed. I eventually cranked up the volume somewhere around three-quarters of the way and was even more surprised that these speakers were not distorting. Ever since I set them up, I have been using them not on my PC but on my Macbook Pro nonstop and have even been able to turn off my EQ in iTunes as I feel these speakers reproduced the sound more accurately. Keep in mind that my review is based on many variables such as the size of my room, placement of the speakers, etc. But, I have found that with these speakers you need to turn up the bass knob (for me I turned it in between 1 and 2 O’Clock) to achieve a smooth low frequency response and a more overall “fuller” sound. When setting up the speakers, I recommend referencing the picture I included for placement and using a song that you know well and setting the volume to your normal listening volume and then modifying the bass knob to your satisfaction. I would like to stress that placement is one of the biggest factors for how your system will sound. Regardless, I find that these speakers are absolutely worth the money. I have used them to listen to music, to play movies, and other miscellaneous audio related tasks on my computer. There is no doubt that these speakers are THX Certified because it felt like pretty close to being in a movie theater when it came to movies that made adequate use of the subwoofer. I am even contemplating getting another pair to replace the Bose Cinemate GS Series II that is on the TV in my living room as I feel that this system is better than the Bose. I can only find one con when it comes to this system and that is if it were to be used for on a TV, which Logitech says it can be used for, there is no remote for changing the volume or shutting the unit off. Using it on a TV could lead to having to change volume by hand as most TVs have a fixed audio output not a variable one. To be fair, this is a minor fault considering that this system is more of a system for the computer than for the TV. Nonetheless, don’t hesitate buying this unit. For the price, I have yet to find anything that can beat it let alone one that is comparable.
