Why is this so ridiculously expensive? other clip on speakers seem to cost between $15 and $50. Is it that much better sound wise?

I *think* I paid ~$50 for it around 4 years ago. It definitely has a good sound, but is only that expensive because Logitech doesn't make it anymore. In fact, I have been unable to find any similar quality USB laptop speaker from other manufacturers. Everything seems to be Bluetooth which doesn't work well with Windows 7.

I believe it's the fact that the product has been discontinued and is now rare to find.

I don´t know, because this speakers have a very good sound and maybe you may need a high level receiver to enjoy it, like a Marantz M-CR610 or similar in Denon, in which case the price is too high

Hello Sindy. When I bought these speakers I paid 142.00 each. That's a total of 284.00 a pair. But from what I have read I stole them.

I also just bought it from Best Buy for the $799. I added some black friday Polk Audio 1/2 off speakers to the order to hit the $999 for 36 months too. I can't be happier.....well I will be when they get around to delivering it later this month.I clicked on this link because I was looking at both these models as well, as Vanns.com had them both for $999 and I was wondering if it was worth getting the other model over the 60C9.

The system has two speaker jacks, so it isn't possible to attach additional speakers. Since the system has limited power (15-watt output), it probably couldn't support extra speakers without distortion or damage. The owner's manual states: "Use only the supplied speakers. Using other speakers may result in unnatural sound." My opinion: The system sounds exceptional with the supplied speakers; for a unit of its size, I've never heard better. If you want more power or multiple speakers, it might be wise to look around for separate components. This system is intended to be a compact table-top unit with excellent sound, and it meets those criteria very well.

No, it isn't. I thought same to you. After a month they didn't accept return so I had to use it. That was over $400. It was painful. These speakers good reviews but I don't feel that good. I'm not recommend.

You should be able to get something cheaper, but I do really like the sound quality out of theses speakers.

I'm not an audiophile, but to me it sounds great... No distortion. It sends all that my small set of "Creative" computer speakers can handle. It's certainly worth a shot for the price, yes?

I purchased a pair of speakers for about $329. They sound as if they cost much more and are cosmetically attractive.

You shouldn'T buy this speaker. It's got a long track record of being lousy. The b250d is a waaaay better speaker for about the same price, but yah, you can input an mp3 line directly in.

The price is for one speaker. God ahead and buy a pair of them. Spending this kind of money on a set of speakers will be the best money you have ever spent on speakers!! So buy them and buy them from Amazon...You're be so glad you did!

Since this is not a high receiver, I would not invest a lot of money into high end speakers. Klipse or Polk Audio are good speakers for the price. Not too long ago Best Buy had Klipse speakers on a blowout floor special

I know what you mean, when I bought mine they were 12.00!!! And now they are costing over 50?!?! I should have bought a few a couple years ago - I won't pay what they are asking for now. I found some iluvs for about 6 bucks that sound just as good...

I completely agree with Dr. Jenkins. You can purchase amazing speakers (with a sub woofer) for approximately $35.00 You will find the sound to be incredible for the small cost. I have a Logitech 2.1 system that I paid $32.00 for about 4 years ago and it has unbelievable quality and power. Amazon has a vast selection of great products. Just type in 2.1 computer speakers in the search bar.

I went with the Klipsch Synergy Quintet II 5.0 system and a Klipsch SUB-10 powered subwoofer .. the Klipsch 5-speaker set is down to around $250 and i found the sub for a little over $200. They are great speakers and the sound is outstanding .. no more going to the movie theaters for me !! It's like anything else ... try to get the best with the money you have to spend, i wanted to spend under $500 for speakers ( including a sub ) and felt this was a good choice, i'm sure some will agree and then some will say " i don't like the Klipsch speakers "
