I've been there and done that. The Logitech's ended up going back.

The PRINCIPAL problem I find with a pair of tiny satellite speakers combined with a sub woofer is that the all important 'mid-range' frequencies are seriously lacking, so though you may have impressive bass and highs, there is no room projection (coverage) of the all important mid range frequencies (vocals/keyboard).

In addition, the thin wires & construction of the Logitech were not designed to withstand being transported & repeatedly plugged & unplugged.

Just my opinion. - Scott

Scott and Dave...I guess we're the "terrible traditionalist trio"!

Oh well...at least I'm in good company.

I don't really care what anybody else uses, other than they might turn me on to something I don't know about. I use what I need for the job. Sometimes too much is too much. The Barbettas are wonderful, but sometimes way too much. Sometimes the Logitechs are better for a certain situation so I use them. Sometimes a mixer, sometimes not, etc.
I just bought a second set of Logitechs. Don't know why yet, but I'm sure there's a reason.

perhaps to be used as a 'trade offer' to UD for his Buslink USB DVD burner?!

Gary... nice book and well put!

Scott, you're absolutely right! However, with every conventional speaker I've heard (including the EV 360), except the Bose PAS (but then, the PAS isn't all that conventional) there often is some deficiency in the bottom end and ALWAYS a lacking in the highs (IMO).

Since combining my Z-2200s with ONE EV SxA100 speaker, it's the only way I'll go. Well worth the extra few minutes of set-up and tear-down time for me. One compensates for the other's deficiency... and I've had compliments on THE OVERALL SOUND of my music almost every time I've used this set-up (> 20 times).

Those of you who have the Z2200 or similar system, give this a try just once and see if you don't agree.

Okay, Glenn, I don't know anything about sound. I get by. I have a new 12-channel Carvin PA with 15" speakers. Nice setup. If I use just ONE of the speakers with a z-2200 system, could this work for me like it is you? Reason I ask is because if I could save room that one of those speakers takes up in my Ford Taurus, I'd sure do it. My car is crammed packed with that p.a. and two guitars and other stuff.
