Reading reviews…

Let me compare the two. The Logitechs are definitely much louder, and have much more bass. The sub is about twice as big as the MM226. The Logitechs are lacking badly in the midrange, and after listening at loud volumes for a while, I suffer from listening fatigue. from Amazon.com The Boston Accoustic MM226 was a real bargain at the sale price. I am happy with the sound quality, the ease of set-up, and the high quality user interface (volume control). from Amazon.com I never owned BOSTON ACOUSTICS speakers. I've seen them around for over 30 years, now I own a small 2.0 Computer B. from Amazon.com Boston Acoustics Horizon MM226 Multimedia 2.1 Speaker System (Mist) for about $50 is a decent product. The shared low/mid frequency box that sits on the floor is rather large. from Amazon.com After reading through a lot of reviews on speakers in the sub-$100 price range, I settled on this nice set of Boston Acoustics. I have to agree with what the other reviewers have said -- very crisp and clear mids and highs, and deep, undistorted bass that's good enough for my musical tastes. from Amazon.com I purchased some computer speakers from Radio Shack for convience, but was instantly dissapointed when I hooked them up. So I went online to Amazon to see what I could find for a few dollars more. I had a Boston Acoustics surround sound system for my home a few years ago and new the quality was good, so I ordered this Horizon MM2 Multimedia 2.1 speaker system... Works great, and real solid bass response... from Amazon.com I never realized how much I loved my old speakers until (thanks to a vacuum cleaner accident) I was forced to replace my Altec Lansing ATP3's. Say what you will about the Altec Lansing's downward firing mid-range, they have a very rich sound and full mid-range that most other speakers lack. I researched other (2.1) multi-media speakers in this price range for almost 2 months and essentially narrowed it down to the Logitech Z-2300, the Boston Acoustic MM226 and the updated version of my old speakers the Altec Lansing VS4121. I briefly considered the Bose companion 3 (Series II) but the price quickly disqualified them, especially for my needs (Home-Office). from Amazon.com I enjoyed the Boston Acoustics speakers for two weeks, and then whenever I turned the system on, after a few seconds, one of the channels reverted to a continuous buzzing sound. After several calls, I was told that the control box potentiometer had probably failed. from Amazon.com I just bought the white (Mist) MM226 speakers. I was a little hesitant because of the color. from Amazon.com If you're trying to fill a larger space or you're the kind of audio snob who rips to WAV, your mileage may vary. I got these in 4/09 through Amazon, but fulfilled by Tiger Direct for $64.99, shipping included. For that price you cannot miss with the BA MM226. It's a month later as I write this review, and it shows up at $155 on Amazon. from Amazon.com
