This guy I know claims he has found gods gift in the form of the Logitech Z2300.

Excert:

"Him: Logitech z2300 400w 240$ Bose home theatre 650w 6000$ and yet the logitech sound better

Me: Wattage means jack

Him: Exactly clarity performance and bass and the logitech reign in all 3"

"Him: And they r@pe Bose And harmon karden And woolfdale And bmw

Me: well those are audiophile companies logitech is not

Him: It beats them Hard"

What does everyone actually think of the Z2300s? I think I already know the answer, but why?

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, he's the one that listens to them at the end of the day. If he thinks they sound better than alternatives, more power to him, in my opinion. If I'd rather drive my Ford Focus instead of a Mustang 302, what do you care; you're not driving it?

Generally there is a consensus that certain speakers are "better" than others due to a flatter frequency response curve or other factors like efficiency, but one listener might prefer a more bass heavy speaker or sharper metal dome tweeters over soft domes regardless. Maybe they're interested in cosmetics. Maybe their listening environment makes certain speakers sound better than others; this is particularly true of bipolar designs (where drivers are mounted on the front and rear of the speaker). Maybe they have restrictions on box design due to space restrictions. Maybe they have a low-power amplifier and their speakers happen to sound better to them because they're more efficient rather than flatter in frequency response.

Besides, do you really care about winning an online pissing match with a user that publishes terms like r@pe in the course of general discussion?

Bose vs Logitech :lol: both bad.

Should try proper brands; Bowers & Wilkins, KEF, Klipsch, Dynaudio, Denon, XTZ, Maratanz, Dali, Cerwin Vega, etc, etc...

To preface, I am not a fanboy, and I do not own any Bose products or work for the firm. But to say that they're "bad" is a disservice to anyone who loves audio.

Bose is not designing high-end or home theater speakers. Too often they are confused for a speaker company. They are designing audio solutions for specific purposes. Look at their lineup and you'll find traditional 5.1 and 2.0 speaker systems (wood cabinets, floor standing mains) are rare. Instead you find "wave" radios (which actually use a pretty cool transmission-line cabinet), noise reducing headphones (they INVENTED them), and microsystems. Mirage's Nanosat and similar egg-shaped speakers possibly wouldn't exist without Bose Acoustimass having preceded them. The 901's that were their original claim to fame were designed to distribute sound throughout the room, not to have flat frequency response.

Most of what they make are aimed at offering great sound in a small package at a reasonable cost, and in a form that the average user understands. They spend over $100 million a year in research and let me tell you: Their engineers are anything but stupid.

Their speakers aren't exactly audiophile, but they really aren't meant to be. They design their audio equipment to achieve specific objectives, like not tick off the spouse because they're huge or ugly, fill a room with sound, or to remove external noise. They've been trying to improve the audio of flatscreen televisions lately; not everyone is going to employ an external amp and speakers (most do not). Bose is an amazing company that has produced a lot of technology adopted (and refined) by its competitors for good reason.
