I picked these up from Amazon when they were listing for $85 plus shipping and am very pleased after a couple weeks of use. The only other speakers I was considering were the Klipsch, but with the Logitechs going for $40 cheaper it was a bit of a no brainer.
I've listened to both the Logitechs and the Klipsch (my room mate bought the Klipsch), and the Klipsch seemed only to have the advantage of their tweeters, which produced a more bright/crisp sound. The z2300s, however aren't far behind on the highs, and they completely dominate on the lows thanks to the sub. Though the Logitechs may be a little heavy on the bass for some, your computer/media programs should have built in equalizers that can fix that issue.
The z2300s can go very loud without losing overall clarity. The wired remote is nice, and in my opinion I have enough wireless remotes so it's no problem that I have to be near the computer to change the volume (my comp has a remote anyway). They also match my Samsung 226cw monitor and Logitech DiNovo edge keyboard near perfectly and seem much more solidly constructed than the Klipsh. And for all the complaints of the speakers lacking in the mid range, if you do you're homework you'll find that all computers tend to suffer that issue (compression and encoding are the main culprits). You can pretty much always get a higher fidelity sound out of a home audio system that plays CDs or DVDs. So as far as computer speakers go; for the price, these speakers are awesome.
Also, I'm currently using the 15 day trial version of the SRS WOW sandbox program, which definitely improves overall quality and clarity throughout the sound-range. Not sure if I'll end up buying it for $20, but that prog plus the z2300s makes for a very high-quality computer audio experience all around.
