Here's where I thrash the noobs to a bloody pulp... oh, and there's a computer there too

.

The keyboard's lights are way down.
More better pics to come.

How does that Z-2300 sub sound pointed at the wall like that?

Better. It really helps spread the sound around the room. It's not really facing the wall; just across it. When it faced out at my left, it sounded too loud in one of my ears. IMO, as is or between the feet is the best under-the-desk config.

What I meant when I said facing the wall, is the port. Not the sub itself. I have been playing around with mine a little bit, and cant seem to get it to sound right.

Yeah, the wall-ported definitely sounds better for the same reasons I mentioned before. Same with the sub facing sideways; I think it's a combination of the two. The Z-2300's aren't exactly the best speakers I've ever tried though, so don't expect any miracles. All you're going to get is crisp sound with lots of bass and VOLUME!!!! People here on OCN don't know what they're talking about with 20 in a row recommend the Z-2300's; check out any of the "Which 2.1 system?" threads (lol).

The best spot for a ported sub, in my room at least, is in a corner. Here's the best pic I have on how to set it up, if possible. Note the port fires into the wall, very close to the corner. It makes the bass sound much better.

Logitech has been all about volume and less about quality in the last decade or so. My X-240 system tied to my folding rig has almost as much "kick" as my 10" long throw with my receiver setup, but it sounds no where near as nice as it.

The Z-5500's sound pretty decent as far as PC speakers, but yeah, they get loud enough to hurt my ears. All that volume is really not needed.

The X-240's are terrible speakers (no offense), and a great example of Logitech's declining budget speaker quality. I think that the X-540's are actually way way way significantly better than those and slightly better for the Z-2300's (when set up right), especially in value.
