I find it almost inarguably the Klipsch, if you're looking for quality. Their sound quality is amazing - just go to a local retail store like I did and you'll see why they're priced so high. It's like the Bose headphones - high priced, but well worth the quality.

Hope that helps,
kram

Klipsch and it's really not even close. The Logitech are good, but they are not full range in terms of a seperate tweeter and mid-range driver. The Logitech's have more horsepower, but the Klipsch are more efficient with their power so they sound louder - not to mention cleaner.

Klipsch without a doubt. The Logitech's don't come close mainly because they don't have a seperate tweeter. BTW, I actually emailed Logitech asking why they don't put seperate tweeters in any of their speakers. Here is their response; "Our speakers are designed in such a way that they do not need seperate tweeters". Ok... whatever. I will give them credit in that Logitech speakers do sound better than others that don't have seperate tweeters but it isn't possible to make completely accurate, smooth, and clean sounds without the seperate tweeters.

Klipsch for sound quality, Logitech for aesthetics. Also, don't forget the Creative GigaWorks S700. It's probably slightly better than the Klipsch in my opinion, I believe it's also cheaper. In the end, buy what sounds best to your ears. That's the only true test.

I still don't see why so many people think the Klipsch speakers don't look nice. Though looks have nothing to do with the sound I think they look really nice with the covers off.
