Anybody here owned / tried both the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's and the Logitech Z623's?

I am in the market for a new computer speaker system (I don't have the room for bookshelf speakers) and these two seem to be the "rivals" for the price range that I am looking at. I have looked at multiple discussions regarding this topic, and in literally every single one, I have found conflicting opinions. Is there anybody who has owned / tried both systems that can help me reach a decision?

The Kipsch ProMedia 2.1 wins hands down and are widely regarded as the best value not only in that price range but above it too.

So, you've tried both, I assume? What exactly makes it superior to the Z623's?

I can only speak for the klipsch. I have had 3 sets over the years and they can not be beat for the money!

Still can't reach a conclusion based off of this. Let's assume that I prioritize the clarity of music above anything else. In that case, which is better.

I've owned the Klipsch and tried the logitech in store. What makes them better?

- Better sound quality (highs, lows, and mids)
- Clearer, less muddled bass
- Not as harsh

Out of curiosity, can you explain what is meant by "harsh"?
