How they stack up

Logitech Z407

The Z407 is the only system here besides the Creative Pebble Plus with wireless options, adding Bluetooth the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX and Logitech Z623 lack, though it is quieter and less bass-heavy than the Z623 and lacks the surround channels of the Logitech Z906.

Logitech Z906

The Z906 is the only true surround system here, adding 5.1 channels the stereo Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX, Logitech Z623, Logitech Z407 and Creative Pebble Plus cannot match, with far more power, though it is overkill for a simple desktop setup and lacks the Z407's Bluetooth.
