You'll Never Want To Listen To Anything Else
Pump up the music and invite your friends over for a jamming session to the beat of the Logitech Z-5500 Speaker System, which is an upgrade from Logitech Z-680 speaker system.

Wow is right. When I was first taking it out of the box, I couldn't help but literally laugh out loud at the massiveness of the sub woofer; it's huge! It gives quite the kick. This system is a steal for the quality vs. price. I was going to save my money and go for the $150ish one... but I'm so glad I spent the extra $ and sprung for this one. I am very impressed and very pleased with my purchase.

value: For the features and quality of this product, nothing else in this price range comes close.
features: from multiple input types to built in Dolby DTS and Pro Logic decoding, no other speaker setup on the market has all this. Quality: as always with Logitech products, quality is top notch.
Performance: nice, loud, crisp, and clear! louder than you'd really ever need, but the bass is a little lacking compared to my old speakers and the sub enclosure is HUGE. Make the enclosure smaller and add more punch to the sub and this setp would be perfect.

I've now owned this set of speakers for over one year. I feel that they are a great value for the price I paid $250.00. They will get louder than you will ever need, and with the levels set right no audiable distortion in a 25'x 30' room. There are adjustments for sub level, center level and surround level. I use all of the available inputs since I now use these speakers as my bedroom surround sound system. I have a cd player using the optical, dvd player using the digital, and tv using direct. All I had to do to use the direct inputs which are mini plugs was go to radio shack and pick up some RCA adapters. I plan on buying another set of these since they have held up to the daily abuse at high volume I give them. The only downside is that the Brain/Display module has to be within about 6-9 feet of the subwoofer and the cable can not be extended.

500watts rms and peek 1000watts under $250?? really? i had shopped around and found no other optical audio solution for my high-end hand-built computer. they also work flawlessly with the the PS3's hd optical audio port(tosh link). warning the sub is the same size as a car audio sub(the kind you put in ur trunk to piss other people off). it will rattle ur neighbors, I've had many complaints with it turned on 80%, but its so worth it. if you are setting up a living room or less space these are perfect, but too big for a small desk, plus its 5.1 so where would you put the rear speakers. if you are looking for a setup for a great room 18'x 18' or bigger then you'll have to find a bigger speaker setup. i use them for my office 12' x 8'and will be getting a second set for my living room 14' x 15'. this is also logitec's flagship model and i bought them a year ago and there the same price, that tells you that they are selling enough to keep there value.

They are good speakers when they work... no auto channel function... sometimes does not turn on--- wires are cheap but work... it has a good subwoofer... speakers sound somewhat distorted at high volumes... does blow my mind however how loud this little set can go to... it is better than my sony 300$ 5.1 surround sound system... For the price its a hot item... lovely speakers.. you should'nt be dissapointed...
