Posted September 9, 2015 Author Logitech Z623 of the ones you've chose. Really? I hear the Swans have great music clarity and cleaner bass (but lesser than the Logitechs). I'm not much of an audiophile but I cringe at bad audio. Can you explain why I should go for the Logitech? i5 4670k | Noctua NH0-U12S | Asus Z97M Plus | Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb | Palit GTX 980 Ti Super Jetstream 6G | Samsung 850 EVO 250gb WD Caviar Blue 1tb | Seasonic M12II 850W | Fractal Design Define R5 | Dell U3014 1600p 30" 60Hz Corsair K65 | Razer Orochi | Bose QuietComfort 15 | Creative SBS A350 2.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain why I should go for the Logitech? I would lean toward the Swans for richer sound. But I can't recommend them unless you plan to do something creative with the subwoofer. If you notice, they've placed the volume knob on the subwoofer. Do you have enough room on your desk for two speakers and a subwoofer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 9, 2015 I use Logitech's Z313 which I've been very happy with, they're $49 USD, I would expect the Z623 to be even better. I've never heard of Swans and have not seen Altec Lansing speakers in over a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going with the Swans anymore because I'll enjoy the booming bass of Logitech/Creative more for all of the games I play...

Apologies. The Z623 is way off my budget. I meant to type Z523. The Altec Lansing was recommended by my musician friend I used to keep my receiver on my floor.

Posted September 10, 2015 Author And booming bass is what you shall have Nice for games. Not so nice for music It's cool. I've got a nice pair of headphones (handed down to me by my dad) for listening music. Besides, I'm not an audiophile and so long as it doesn't sound stupidly horrendous, it's all good in my book i5 4670k | Noctua NH0-U12S | Asus Z97M Plus | Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb | Palit GTX 980 Ti Super Jetstream 6G | Samsung 850 EVO 250gb WD Caviar Blue 1tb | Seasonic M12II 850W | Fractal Design Define R5 | Dell U3014 1600p 30" 60Hz Corsair K65 | Razer Orochi | Bose QuietComfort 15 | Creative SBS A350 2.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
