Introduction

A while ago we took a look at the X-540 speaker system from Logitech. It proved to be a good 5.1 system for a retail price of $99. Today we will be looking at Logitech's 2.1 speaker system in the X-series, the X-240. It features a down-firing subwoofer, control pod, and integrated stowaway cradle for your iPod or other MP3 player. The X-240 is also reasonably priced at $50. Let's see if it is worth your hard earned money.
