Really no-one has anything to say? I know those Sonys are new so there are not many reviews and such, but still?

I have these sony srs D-8 . Sony is not famous for their subwoofer unit , however the satellites are very good and has clear and flat frequency response . but i dont have knowledge on logitech which has 40 watt rms compared to 60 w rms of sony .
In sony you also have an AV cable commectivity as extra . These sony just have that amount of bass to fulfill a normal human listening needs and has a soft beats and bass and not original sony BOOMY bass , which is good . So all i can guarantee is these 2.1 will have smooth sound and not the one that annoys at some tunes and give headache .

i have the 5.1 setup very similar of the z523s, epic bass and the subwoofer vibrates through the house, i would recommend the logitech, they are a safe bet and very reputable. Haven't heard of the sony speakers before :/

if you were undecided whether you wanted a 2.1 or 5.1 i brought the z506's half a year ago for £70 and they're excellent, better than a £150 setup i had a year ago

Sometimes you just cant get a 5.1 for a room . Many reasons for that . More the satellites more the vocals and treble gets focused for similar price , this reduces power for sub woofer . Some house rooms have two doors making a pass by walking area or balcony . My mother dont like wires going all around room .

Usually laptops dont recognize 5.1 system, then all you end up getting is a normal stereo . Why not have more powerful punchy sound if stereo is mostly heard .

There are enough reviews and videos on YouTube to prove that Logitech sound good and even i think maybe they are a safer bet and even looks more modern . However one buying Logitech should always look for better deals , cause it seems there is a lot of price margin for them . Sony usually sell at less margin . It looks clear as there is huge price difference in Logitech`s company website and amazon .
