I'll be blunt. Logitech maks ****** speakers, they sound muddy and dull. They lack tweeters or anything dedicated to upper/high frequency so female voices sound screwed up.
Also, the build quality is ****. Ive read the comments here, people here have had dying amps, people i know have dying amps, and guess what, "I" had a dying amp! Wow, if this happened in the headphone world, NOBODY would buy from that company.
I would suggest if you want "musical" speakers (ie. flattest freq response) but you want 5.1's you get either the Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra's, or the Creative Gigaworks S700 or S750 (7.1 system). Both sound great (compared to creative's lower end products and the whole logitech line) and both have home theatre class subwoofers.
If you want just 2 channel. Klipsch Ultra 2.0's are the best you can do.
If you want to exit the PC speaker world and go to something like Monitors or bookshelves, then that's where I'm at.
Currently I own these for my stereo.

Alltogether after buying cables/speaker wire cost me a good 900 USD. Tack on my new $100 E-mu 0404 and well..
Upgrading speaker wire on multimedia products (pc speakers) IS POINTLESS. You only notice it on speakers made for music, not speakers made to be a "jack of all trades, master of none" (ie boom box for games/movies/music).
I would have to say, the Promedia 2.0 ultra's from Klipsch IS THE BEST SOUND you can get for a musical pc speakers. But stepping up to hi-fi speakers is going to cost you a lot, but will pay off with the sound.. And for 99 bucks the price is hard to beat.
