| Good speakers for the price--and for the space they occupy |
Logitech X-140 2.0 Speakers
These speakers were purchased at the same time as an Acer 17" monitor for a second computer where space was at a premium. They sound surprisingly good--not as good as my Klipsch speakers, but they only cost a fraction of what they cost. Great computer speakers for almost everyone. |

| Excellent 2.0 Speakers - Solid Sound - Solidly Built |
UPDATE: Once I moved the speakers straight back as far as possible towards the wall behind them - and thus the sound bounces of the wall behind me - there's an enormous improvement. The sound is full, rich and deep.
===================================
But they cannot, and are not, a replacement for 2.1 or higher speakers. The mid- and high ranges are excellent, but the bass really needs its separate outlet. The overall first impression is a rather flat sound but if you have a good sound card and/or a good sound application most of these shortcomings can be alleviated.
They're built like brick outhouses - the most solid computer peripherals I've seen in a long time. And, in a fit of absolute genius, no separate power brick but an actual, honest to goodness old-fashioned plug that goes straight into the wall. (Hallelujah!) |

| Great set of speakers |
When I first plugged these in they blew me away...granted I replaced a pretty cheap set of speakers that was several years old...but still, the sound quality for the price is amazing. And they have a solid, well built feel.
Sure the bass is almost nonexistent, but I don't expect that when I'm sitting at my computer, and the volume can get high enough to easily fill a room. |
