They're the same. According to Google, "impressed with" is used slightly more often, though.

I think that when you use "by" it means that you were impressed by the SPEECH itself,
whereas when you say "with" it would mean that you were impressed by HIM because of his speech.
In the active form you would have:
He impressed me with his speech (so the speech is the tool that he used to impress you)

Hope that is not too confusing :)

Thank you. So if I use thing being impressed, 'by' is better and being impressed with person's activity, it's better using 'with'. Am I correct? I can't figure it out completely though.
