I got the HK SoundSticks II bought after a long search, because my Logitech Z system one day simply cease to function (of course, shortly after the warranty has expired, Grrr). The Soundsticks were already super pre-listening. At home on the desk but the sound quality surpasses anything else I have ever heard in this area. Super Clear highs, powerful bass and a bass control, which not only switch between zero and roar and noddles, but can be controlled precisely. The design, a bit weird at the store, sees a silver iMac absolutely awesome. Especially the blue lighting inside the sub is very consistent. The switch on the sub is somewhat awkwardly located, but by using a switchable multiple power strip can solve this problem easily. Of course there are better systems, but certainly not in this price range. 5 of 5 stars.
