Replacing Logitech z2300 speakers!

[Andrea:]

I would recommend looking into the System Fidelity SF-3010.

hmm, looks pretty nice, but they are 6 ohms, isn't that unsuitable?

6 ohm is fine for most amplifiers... I don't know in your particular case. But I know that normally speakers rated 8 ohm are actually much lower impedance in some portions of the spectrum. Perhaps the SF3010's 6 ohm rating is closer to reality...I don't know

It's an average, rounded to the nearst 2 ohms. Generally, as frequency rises, so does impedance. The dips average out that rise to give a steady figure.

I'd say look for something smallish, 8ohm impedance (6 is fine), that will take 50W happily.
Don't overspend, or you'll be hearing the flaws in the amplifier.

Okey, thank you, I will try to look for something 6-8 ohms.

I still can't decide what speakers to buy. If there is a sub, what frequencies would be at the best quality - low, mid or high?

Hi Artazzzzzzz....zzzz...zz! Did you take a look at what Ciare offers in the HT field ?Nice little speakers with nice little boxes...already in kit ,if you can't manage to cut wood.
Next step would be to take a look to the Hifi line ,you could start from the littlest fullrangers of the same brand...probably there's a shop in the vicinity who holds them.

hmm, I would prefer full range speakers and what is HT? :P
also 1 more question, what's the difference between bass and mid-bass?

[picowallspeaker]

Home Theater ...I think they're just industrial production standards ,where a little of distortion or nonlinearity it might be allowed ,according to lower prices than hi-fi lines,where one would expect perfect speaker behaviour.
For the second question ,just divide the entire frequency spectrum (audible) in some segments and name them :sub-bass (reproduced by the sub-woofer),bass,from 100 to 600 Hz...about...then mid-bass,midrange (the frequency of human voice),which extends to 3000Hz ,trebles ,super-trebles ,ultrasonic frequencies ,alpha ,beta ,gamma rays ,supernovas ,explosions ....... : ))

that's very useful info :P. People say that full ranges don't need subwoofer, but subwoofer could stack with full ranges? Or I should look for midranges? I need speakers for parties and for calm music listening (high quality prefered ). So they must have wide midrange and good RMS.
