    I'm looking to buy some speakers for college. Which one is better?
    If the harman kardon sound sticks are significantly better, i'll get them but only if they are worth the price compared to the z-4s which are priced at a little above half.

    u'r talkin about the logitech z-4 2.1 system right? if so, then i actually bought a refurbed set from ebay, for like $50 shipped. i just really wanted to test them out and see how good they were. first off the look and finish is real nice (black with silver trim). the sound was more than i expected. i have this set up temporarily in my living room and i have to turn the sub down to about only 10-20% or my neighbors would prolly come complain (i live in a town house).

    big sound from a tiny good lookin package. :D

    i have no personal experience with them so i'm sorry. but if it helps, i've owned the jbl creatures in the past. they look real cool but the sound is still pretty small, and the sub started to rattle after about 6 months. the sound these z-4's produce will drown my jbl creatures. i am currently listenin to my system on 10% bass. i have yet to turn my system even over half way. i'm too scared the neighbors will come and complain =(
