Yes I know that about you, Mac.
The reason I was surprised is that these speakers - and all the 3-piece satellite systems that I know of - include processors to make the output sound 'good.' This is not necessarily a bad thing. It is just that, by definition, a studio monitor's job is to add nothing and take away nothing. I find that using logitechs to monitor gives a result that reflects what I am going to get on a variety of playback systems: headphones, car stereo, home stereo, PA system, etc. Practically speaking, they get the job done.
