I assume the control module (Volume etc) is also the amp for the speakers. Or is each speaker amplified by a built in amp? Or does it vary by model?
Thanks
Thanks

If it has a sub, it is built into the sub enclosure..

Specifically the 2300's and 5500's. Not the sub, I think most subs have a built in amplifier. Just curious about the mids and highs. I assume the amp is built into the control box, but hoping its not and that they actually built an amp into each speaker. Hard to do with a $100 speaker set though.

It means I can tweak the system by replacing amps/speakers at whim and still using the control module.
Essentially, they have made the control module a dedicated reciever with no internal amps.
Changing out speakers can still be done in that case but it becomes much more difficult as you have to map your speaker choices to the impedence/crossover/power ratings of the am in the reciever, whereas with making a non amped reciever you can change speakers/amps to your hearts content and the reciever wont give a damn.
To put it simply, I can buy the 2300's and end up with a 100 dollar reciever and do what I please on the backend later on when I decide to upgrade, instead of actually having to tear apart the control box or buy a dedicated home audio receiver which is more then 100 bucks.

EDIT
The above isnt *entirely* true, Logitech could still be doing some strange stuff with the control box to make it difficult to pair up to an aftermarket amp, but thats highly doubtful and I dont see them doing that.
