Logitech z2200 speakers $62 AR

[MaStAViC]

My speakers (bought from Amazon, not JustDeals) just arrived about an hour ago. Took about three minutes to set up (I wasted about one of those minutes "ooo-ing" and "ahh-ing"). AWESOME speakers, even if it's for $55 after rebate.

So I want a THX certified 2.1 speaker system, which would you recommend?

1.) Logitech Z2200
2.) Klipsch ProMedia 2.1
3.) Creative Labs Megaworks 250D

Right now I'm leaning mostly toward Klipsch, but I'd like to save some cash. This will be an apartment setup with downstairs neighbors, mostly for watching movies, some gaming, and blasting the occasional pre-party music, ideally I want a system with good satellites without too much being sent to the sub (in consideration of the neighbors.)

Basically I'm no audiophile, but I have rather specific needs (see above), are the Klipsch speakers really much better to warrant the extra cash? Your input is much appreciated, and my apologies for the OT post, but this deal is really prompting me to get these speakers.

order i would buy it in
1. klipsch promedia 2.1
2. megaworks 250D
3. logitech z2200

i personally own the megaworks 550D and i have to say they are awsome, design isnt bad.

Something else to consider is RSL speakers. I bought a set after several users were raving about them on an audiofile forum. They do sound very good (for computer speakers). Only come in beige, I think and cost is $60 plus s/h (approx. $19 for me). The subwoofer is pretty big and heavy, the satellites are normal size. When I bought RSL regularly had auctions on ebay but none is up now.

But with this deal, the Z-2200 is a LOT cheaper than the other two 2.1 set of speakers you mentioned. At $55, these are the most expensive speakers I have ever bought in my life, in fact. I bought the Z-560 over two years ago for $40 and then the Telex SonicXS 2.1 last summer for $30; both without rebates.

I own the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 and when set up correctly (corner loaded subwoofer placement) they can sound amazing...so I would agree with that ranking. They are expensive (~$120-130 when BB has a rebate) and the only reason I got them was because they were $90 @ BB after PM to SamGoody 2 years ago (fond memories of that deal).

HOWEVER, the Logitech Z2200s are fine speakers in themselves, and as MaStAViC pointed out...at this price point they are a straight STEAL. This price/value combination straight blows the competition out of the water (and the deal is pretty straightforward, sans the 'backorder')! If I didn't already own my ProMedias I would be all over this deal...In fact, I'm thinking that this would make a real nice set for my Mom's computer back at home.


Great deal OP...and I'll be waiting for these to come back in stock before October for my mom.

EDIT: QUOTE trail was way too long, so I am adding to the discussion of the 3 posts above mine.

Even at $55, these spaekers are still a steal.

I just got this reply from Justdeals.. Here is my original E-Mail too:

Subject: Z-2200 Speaker Set


I was interested in purchasing the Z-2200 Speakers. Do you have a retail
boxed set of these speakers, or just the refurbished ones? How much are
retail boxed ones, if available?

Is it possible to pick up the product in store once ordered to avoid
shipping charges (since I live in Fremont).

Thanks for your help.

The response:


We do. $35.00 on justdeals.com. We don't allow pickups
And you will have to get it via ups.

Jim


OK. So that was no help. $35 for new ones, $65 for refurbished. Clearly the guy made a mistake. Amazon it is.

 

[peacemaker1ps]

Mine has been shipped.

 

[peacemaker1ps]

WOW. Speakers sounds amazing.
Fast shipping.

Weird--the speakers arrived today--ONE WEEK early!

 

[jayR]

My amazon order shipped in 1 day also.

Can't get the rebate form to print out in full, always cuts off the bottom?

Ahhhh..

Thank you VERY MUCH! gpgofast

 

[woodscomp]

Ok so I jumped on this deal.. Thanks OP.

Question is Justdeals is such a shoddy site. How can you track your package from there site? Maybe I am missing something but it just shows my order, with no status and there were three in stock when i ordered a few days ago?

 

[b0mbrman]

Good lord...Ordered Amazon on Aug 9, arrived Aug 10 via UPS :Q

 

[gpgofast]

Well I just jumped also.Can't wait to get them. GP

have to email them. They usually reply with tracking # within hours. Mine is arriving tomorrow.

EDit: got mine today 8/13. Ordered 8/5. Nice speakers. For $28, this is the deal of the year! BTW, I am very impressed with products Made In China lately. My LCD, video card, etc have all been great.

 

[welst10]

Need help! Can someone send me the link to the online invoice? I need to print out my order invoice for rebate. Thanks!

 

[MaStAViC]

Got a question: My friend wants a set of these speakers but do not have a way to pay for it. If I do same billing name and address but different shipping name and address, would that disqualify me from both the rebates?

Thanks in advance,

[memo]

is this deal dead on justdeals.com? i cant find it on their site anymore

edited: read the thread. sorry. anyone know if they are going to bring it back in stock?

 

[MaStAViC]

JustDeals.com told some of the people who have contacted them last week that they'll have some back in stock between two to four weeks. The original Amazon.com deal is a good one as well for these speakers.
