They also break fairly fast.

Posted February 17, 2015 I can agree that Logitech Z623 break easy, am atm looking to replace my Z623 speaker as at least 1 tweeter speaker is dead the other is going that way, the power of the speakers will switch off and on randomly and its getting worst by the day, at this rate I will have no working speakers in a week or so unless I buy new ones Cry Havoc!

Posted February 17, 2015 Am currently looking my options but I do like the look of these Minx M5 Multimedia Speaker System, not as powerful as the Z623 but the room the PC is in is small it should be ok, am only looking at the Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 THX Certified Speakers has the same power as the Z623 but more expensive and the Edifier E25/RED Home Audio Speakers look funky to me, a bit expensive compared to the Minx M5. The main reason I like the Minx M5 is the fact the controls are on a desktop control and not on a speaker, the bass control is on the back of the subwoofer. I don't need the Bluetooth connect but I do like the looks of the Edifier E25 Cry Havoc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 17, 2015 Can you buy off eBay, or are import charges too much? If yes, Micca MB42 + Lepai LP-2020 would be a good cheaper choice. Great bass without a subwoofer.

Posted February 18, 2015 How much are you looking to spend as your maximum? What ever it is, get the best option within that price category.
