I know a number of player have used the Logitech 2300 Sats - Bass unit speakers, but Logitech have replaced these with the Z623.

Question. Does anyone own these Z623 and can comment please. I will use them on my Tyros 2, The existing Yamaha Sats - Bass have gone connected to our 46"TV.

Graham, if you Google them, there is one guy who did extensive comparisons. Bottom line was that the new ones are good, but not as good as the old ones.
They changed the type of amplification.

I have a set on my 42" TV and they work well, but I wouldn't recommend them for your Tyros. Have you seen the Kustom/Powerwerks PA50? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/kustom-pw50-personal-pa-system I used a pair of them for my s910 and thought they were decent. I regularly use a Bose Compact or a Roland BA-330.

It depends what you're using it for. I could see using the Powerwerks PA50 with a T2 as a personal monitor at a gig, but not at home.

For home, I'd want as much high fidelity as I could afford.

I have the Logitech Z-2300 speakers, and I use them at home with my new Casio PX-350 digital piano. I have the satellites facing me diagonally and the subwoofer next to the piano. For this use, the sound quality is exceptional. I keep the bass turned down pretty low, and I still get a very thunderous lower register.

I see that the new Logitechs get very nice reviews. If I were you, I would buy the new model. They're probably just as good as the old one. You can always find some self-identified audiophile who says one is better than the other. Used Z-2300s are available on the internet.

For gigs, I would not use this unit because there are too many parts to set up, and the build quality of the satellites is cheap. The volume output is only adequate for a living room atmosphere, not much more.

Interesting Link May Help Decide:

Z-623 v. Z-2300

Yeah, that's the link to which I was referring.
You know I've done Nursing Homes up to 50 people with Logitech Z2200. I also have a set on my office computer, and a Z5500 on my living room sound. It's easy to beef up the wiring and customize it for moving around.
I just sold my second set of Z2200s this week. I now have HK Nano for backup or small jobs, so didn't need it anymore.

Thank you all for the reply's
They are for home use (only)on T2.
Living in UK another similar product getting very good reviews is Acoustic Energy AEGO M 2.1 Sats + Bass.

After reading reviews, I would buy a used Z-2300. I am super happy with my unit.

Like some others here, I made some modifications to the sat wiring of my Z2200 and mounted them on a board to make for easier gig set-up ... I used the Z2200 for many gigs including a fairly 'strange' set up in a country club, and covered two rooms nicely ...

I used the Z-2200 for many NH jobs, never had a problem. Gave the 2200 to my son when I purchased the Z-5500, which was a powerhouse system of 1,150-Watts RMS. I modified it by changing out the center speaker to a 6-inch PM speaker I had in the studio, changed the satellite speaker wires, and changed the speaker plugs and jacks to 1/4-inch phono. The modifications took very little time and cost next to nothing. The next modification was to mount the satellites on both sides of the center speaker and velcro the rig to the top of the sub-woofer. Worked like a champ, still works great and is currently connected to our big-screen TV in the family room.

Our long time forum member, Poz, who passed away a few years ago, did a fantastic modification of the Z-5500, and made one for Scott Yee. To my knowledge, Scott is still using the system. Poz used it in a huge casino and said the system filled the entire casino with wonderful sound and he had numerous complements from everyone about the sound system.



Good Luck,
