Please end this dilemma (Logitech z623 vs Klipsh Pormedia 2.1)

[ibrhmymn]

I want to change my speakers, and actually i want to use speakers mostly watching movies via lcd and music on my pc. I search a lot and there are two similar systems Logitech z623 and Klipsh Pormedia 2.1. I read a lot of discussion but I can get a pure conclusion. Which system should I buy please help me I looked these systems because they have thx certificate actually may be there are other fine system like these what is your suggesstions.... (Audioengine A5, z2300, bose comp 3, corsair sp2500, etc.)

The Audioengine is probably the best of the group you mentioned. I haven’t heard the A5, but the A2 sounds better than the ProMedia (which actually doesn’t sound bad). However, you’re going to need a sub with the A5, so the bottom-line cost (and sound quality) is going to be higher than the rest.

I haven’t heard the others you mentioned, but it’s probably a toss-up. They all get good reviews. However, Bose has a reputation among knowledgeable audiophiles as being a poor value, meaning you can typically get better sound quality from other manufactures for less money, so I’d probably rule that one out based on that.

Frankly with one exception, anytime I’ve bought speakers based on someone else’s recommendation I’ve been disappointed. Really, it’s best to audition speakers first-hand and make your own decision.

I own prev-gen of these and I love them. The trick is correct positioning

But out of your choices, Pornmedia without a doubt

for 2.1 systems is thx certificate so important or worth it to pay. For example logitech z623 has thx cert. but for example your recommendation or edifier s530d hasn't. with jbl lsr305 give better experience in movies than 2.1 system with subwoofer.

I highly disagree. THX is no longer has much relevance in home audio due to three simple factors:
a) most decent equipment already matches or improves on THX specs
b) THX certs are quite expensive
c) Consumers are not interested in THX certs or paying extra for them. Market has votes with their wallets.

p.s: Above mentioned Airmotiv5s are also good option. These used to be quite expensive, but at current prices - it's a decent deal.

With my JBL's playing "Edge of Tommorow" BD - they shook my office like some smaller subs would do. I do expect the lower bass wouldn't be as good in larger room.
