The Logitech Z-4 is music to my ears

by arlen kunkee

 Few take the time and effort to get the best of quality; I am one of those few people and recently I got a new set of computer speakers. When you are a computer audio enthusiast you have to take several things into account, like what sound device you have, whether or not you want surround, what kind of surround you want, (4.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1), how high you want your signal-to-noise ratio, and a bunch of other stuff. On top of that, you can pick a brand and whether or not you want the high end or low end speakers from that brand, and of course how much you are willing to pay. Hardly anyone cares about the jargon, or the little details; they just want something that sounds good; I understand, knowing that people usually use electronics just to use them.
 
 Being an enthusiast, I go for the absolute best run for the money that I can achieve for all my computer hardware and audio equipment. Logitech is a high-end manufacturer of peripheral devices (mice, keyboards, speakers, joysticks, and so on), and I have recently been surprised at the quality of their computer audio. For years I was loyal to Creative, but after I bought my first Logitech speaker system I was surprised and have found that though Creative makes the industry’s best sound hardware, Logitech is a top manufacturer of speakers.
 
 I bought the Logitech Z-4 for about $85, a little less than what you can get it for at a local store. I often buy online to save myself money, and I find that the amount saved is worthwhile on many occasions; a significant part is saving on sales tax: 7.5% of $100 or more can be quite a bit. The Z-4 is a fantastic stereo system with a subwoofer; they can fill the room very nicely and can get very loud! It creates clear and precise sound, and I can turn it all the way up and the sound won’t distort. All in all, I would give it all five stars for its quality, performance, style, and price.
