This system has received many positive reviews for its powerful sound, thunderous bass, and overall value. The dissenters cite a lack of midrange, particularly when playing CDs/mp3s (as opposed to video games).
Well, everyone's right! The Z-2300s definitely pack a punch, with sufficient volume to fill most rooms. The massive subwoofer delivers all the bass you could possibly want/need.
However, these are not the smoothest-sounding speakers you'll ever hear. There's a definite "harshness" in the mids which becomes more pronounced when you crank things up. I tried playing with various EQ settings but it didn't seem to matter, which only makes sense -- you can't truly resolve a speaker's shortcomings with equalization. The mids are either there or they're not.
Ultimately you have to ask yourself how much you really want to spend on computer speakers, and whether there's an alternative in this price range that gives you the Z-2300's combination of power and bottom-end. After doing the online research I decided this was the way to go, and I got exactly what I paid for.
Just remember the caveats about the non-adjustable speaker angle and (more important) the sheer size of the subwoofer. You need room under your desk for that sucker! Luckily neither is an issue for me.

I was stoked to plug my new speakers in but was immediately disappointed with the quality of sound that came from the speakers. I tested the speakers with different types of music: they are definitely awesome for hiphop and rap - they're a alot of power and the sub is pretty responsive. As for other types of music, not so awesome. The mid-range is almost completely lacking so music that is expansive or meant to be really pretty comes out a a little flat. I would definitely recommend this system for those of you who listen primarily to hiphop, but if your taste is more eclectic than mine, find yourself another system. I wish i had.
