jerryspoor's Full Review: Logitech Z-5300E 5 Speakers
I rate speakers on frequency linearity and accurate waveform reproduction. For the price, this set of speakers is good. I also listened to the Logitech X-540 speakers and while they do not have as much bass, they have better linearity and waveform reproduction. I chose the X-540 speakers for my computer room. I was able to listen to both sets of speakers side by side at a CompUSA store and the Z-5300-E speakers did not have an impressive sound in the particular location where they were demonstrated. The bass speaker needs to have the right breathing port size so the speaker operates at the proper enclosure resonance. This system sounds like it is out of resonance and the bass is loose. You might be able to restrict the air port and tighten it up. I chose the X-540 speakers and am totally impressed when playing the game BioShock or music.
