just picked up the logitech x220's

[thebove]

needed a pair of speakers for my secondary machine, so i moved my old labtec spin 70's over to that machine and picked up the x220's.

so far i'm pretty impressed. nice clean highs, although when you really crank them up really loud they seem to lose a bit of their accuracy. I don't usually crank my pc speakers though, i'll switch over to my HT speakers, so no biggie for me. the bass is phenominal IMO, at least for coming from a rather small sub. it's clean, tight, and responsive, and i haven't got it to noticably distort or rattle the enclosure at all. there is virtually no hiss from the satellites, which is always comforting.

the only thing they seem to be lacking is a good lower-midrange. that could just be me though, be because i've been listening to a pair or pretty poor speakers for the past few years, which were nothing but midrange, but IMO it sounds a little thin in that range, nonetheless.

also, and this is a rather odd observance which i probably wouldn't comment on if it wasn't so profound, but the subwoofer smells like a dirty sock REAL BAD hopefully it'll go away...

but yeah, overall, they're definately a good buy for the $40-50 range.
