I understand that you are satisfied  with your system, and I'm not arguing that! I'm not trying to convince you to throw them away.
My system is 2 x Mackie MR5. These cost 290Euros (the pair at thomann). I find that to be quite cheap for the quality it yields, just like you find your system great for its price range.


How would you describe the difference between the Logitechs and the Mackies? For example on a range of 1 to 10 where 1 is the most horrible, and 10 is the most perfect system ever - where would you place the two?

Hehe, huge coincidence (or not...) only today, Mackie MR5 price dropped to 139euros (per unit) at Thomann.
278 the pair!

On performance, I'd say (roughly)
Logitech 2.1 : 5.5-6
Mackies : 7.5

Not talking about power here of course, only sound precision, clarity and fidelity
The thing is, the closer you get to "10", the more money you have to spend to have better results.
My posts are turning into Mackie commercials...

^ I largely agree with that - I would put my Logitech X-530 speakers at about 6/10, and I simply think they're underrated by people who haven't heard them - my guess is that most would put them at about 2-3/10.

Well, currently my budget for musical gear is kind of maxed out (purchased Guitar Rig 4 Pro and the ESI Maya 44e sound card a few weeks ago) ... but next year a pair of nice studio monitors will certainly be possible.Big smile
