If you’re a mild audiophile like me, then you’re looking for nirvana with some affordable speakers that fill the room up. I wanted a decent sound system to quench my audiophile thirst, and I wanted to afford to eat my lunch at the same time. I accomplished this goal when I purchased the Logitech Z313 Speaker System. For around $40 nirvana was found.

It was plug and play right out of the box. I think I had to plug the two satellite speakers into the outlet in the back of the subwoofer, which also plugs into the electrical outlet. Turn on some FM music and nirvana was there. Like magic the 25 watts of sound filled the room and I was overjoyed.

Without shelling out some $200 for the big shelf speakers, I don’t think it gets any better than the Logitech Z313 Speaker System. The speakers sound good and the subwoofer adds some big bass to the song. The bass is not overwhelming and it sure beats what you get out of those cheap little computer speakers, the ones that can’t handle any bass.

I am channeling my speakers through a small mixer board, the Behringer 802 to be specific. This allows me to add or subtract some lows and highs. It has knobs that help to control the volume and provide opportunity for some modest mixing. This little mixer makes it fun for graphic equalization. I plan to upgrade to a bigger mixer soon.

In conclusion, I am happy with this system. Anything less and I would’ve been very disappointed. These speakers sound very nice and I am picky about my audio.

One feature that I like is the volume switch that includes a headphone hookup. It makes life easier having this switch for armchair availability, even though I have volume control on my mixer. And the headphone hookup within reach is an added bonus.

I hope to enjoy these speakers for years to come and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I feel like I got my money’s worth this time.
