Are my speakers full-range?

I've just bought and installed a Creative Sound Blaster Z sound card into my desktop computer and I'm trying to get the best configuration possible for my setup in the control panel.

In the speakers configuration there's a checkbox that says full-range speakers but I don't know if my speakers are full-range or not, they are a pair of 2.1 Logitech Z213 speakers with subwoofer.

In short... No, your Z213's which are good speakers BTW, are not full-range.. Most (but not all) PC-purpose made speakers are also not full-range speakers.

Full-Range traditionally is describing a speaker with at least a frequency range from deep bass to high treble without external help, i.e. subwoofer. I won't go into the what frequency ranges this...

Example, I've got a pair of bookshelf speakers (and sub) hooked up to a AV receiver and use a SB ZxR soundcard myself and my speaker settings are not in full-range on my SB or my AV receiver, as all though they sound good (subjective) to me, they do not meet the spec of being full-range speakers.
