Z 2300 Speakers, Better Than Their Price Suggests
 |
I picked these speakers up for $99.00 at Comp USA, and I would’ve paid that for the sub alone. These are 400 watt speakers, with 200 of that going straight to the sub.
That’s PEAK power mind you, but I have yet to find a situation where there’s been any distortion at the highest of volume levels.
The THX certified speakers are crisp, and loud without being overly horn-like. The Sub pounds out a wide range of frequencies, never sounding distorted or floppy. The mark of a good sub is being able to produce low tones that are more “felt” than heard; this sub delivers.
My biggest criticism is the lack of mid-range punch from the overly simplistic, single-way speakers. Although they lack a proper tweeter, they produce brilliant highs. The Brilliance fades, though, as you plunge into the 300-600 MHz range.
Listening to something like Sublime is, as the name implies. However, if you like a more classic selection, where the bass isn’t overly prominent as it is in today’s music, you may be a bit disappointed.
Highs: Great Bass Response, No Distortion, Crisp Highs, Good Vocal Reproduction, Awesome For Newer Music / Rap, Price.
Lows: Short Bass Roll off, Little Mid-Range Definition.
