very thin sound, hollow, clear highs but no warmth. Like bad AM radio music. I plugged in my EVSonics XS sats with 4"driver and 1'tweeter and it's alot better.
The sub is fine- very strong, transparent sound. I haven't pushed it yet, I'm afraid to.
My sound card is a Santa Cruz.

I recommend either the Altec Lansing MX5021s or the Klipsch 2.1s for music.
The Swan M200s are good for 2.0

Not everyone is an audiophile and I don't think the OP is either. The Z2300's get good ratings because for everyone that is not an audiophile, they sound good.

I'm just going by the OP's thread title.
Since he wants clarity above all, I'd suggest the Altecs even though they're pricey and hard to find.

If you want something superior buy a BR-1 kit and a nice amp. Blow away anything else in this thread.

And if you're going to bust out with the super $10k range, don't forget Kharma

you have to assemble the BR-1?

Bose speakers rock, im listening to music on them right now and i love em. Lets all go out and find a bad review of something and take it as "the word". I havn't read any reviews buy my ears once told me Klipsch and altec lansing suck. and they're telling me right now that my BOSE companion 3 multimedia speakers sound sharp and sweet. My only alternative to Bose is Logitech - great company

You are a tool.

There is no "best", period.
