This is a great set of speakers for gaming and movies. They're pretty good for music as well.
I was hesitant to purchase these after reading a few reviews complaining of a lack of midrange, but I figured I'd give them a shot. I was also looking at the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 system, but after reading a few reviews about poor quality and having the satellites stop working I went with the Logitechs.
I was impressed with the clarity of the highs and lows, as well as the power out of this little system. Is the midrange lacking? Yes, but a little tweaking of the EQ will satisfy most listeners.
The bass sounds clear when it's kept around 50% or less. It does get boomy (when listening to music) when the bass is turned above 50%, but you're going to get that from any ported sub.
This system has more than enough power. If you're sitting in front of the satellites there is little reason to turn the volume above 50%. It gets loud quick.
There is a noticeable difference between using a Sound Blaster sound card and an onboard sound card. You can't expect any set of speakers to sound clear hooked up to an integrated soundcard. Go buy a cheap $30 Creative Audigy SE if you're using onboard sound and think the sound quality is lacking.
Will these speakers compare to a stand-alone stereo amp and a large set of speakers? No, but for ~$100 this system sounds great.
