3 out of 5 stars moderate quality speakers   August 20, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

These speakers are very good for computer use but there is two things that they lack to get a 5 star rating.

#1 only 1 woofer for each speaker (highs and lows are not seperated)

#2 quality for music is good for the price BUT if you wanted to get speakers specifically for listening to music do yourself a favor and get a higher quality brand such as Klipsch.

I use the z-5500 for my computer speakers and am very happy with them. But as I said if you want high quality speakers for music look elseware.



4 out of 5 stars Great Value For The Price   August 16, 2008
I purchased this item for ~$[...], as a replacement for an older high-end 5.1 system, which was taking up too much room in my new apartment (it had floor standing speakers, and an 18" subwoofer that was the size of a coffee table). [Un-equalized] the sound isn't as good, but it's pretty damn good for the price, and works well for just about everything (TV, Movies, Music, etc). Overall, it's very solid, and beats the crap out of built in TV speakers.

My two biggest critiques are:

1) The remote feels very cheap and flimsy (not that big of an issue).
2) The inputs are limited to 1 optical, 1 coax, and 1 [6-channel] surround stereo, which means I have to use other equipment to mux inputs (so I can connect my cable box, DVD player, and computer using the optical input).



5 out of 5 stars Great Product   August 14, 2008
Alright Guys, i was a little skeptical at first before buying the item. The reason being that the price is a little hefty if your just going to use it for a computer system. Any gamers out there... your family, friends or whoever is living with you will literally think there are gunshots going off in the house when they hear the sound quality. Best overall speaker system i've ever owned. Thanks to everyone who gave positive reviews that pushed me to buy the unit. Its a great system guys, logitech always has top quality product so do yourself a favor and 'Add to Cart'.


5 out of 5 stars Worth the Upgrade   August 10, 2008
Pros: The Digital SoundTouch control center with its generous inputs; digital signal processor is impressive for such a small unit; volume gets very loud; a convenient remote control; price.

Cons: Not much to complain here, but the satellite speakers doesn't have the natural and full sound of the Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 speaker system I have.

Other Thoughts: I switched out the Logitech satellites for the Klipsch from the Promedia Ultra 5.1 system. I did this because each Klipsch satellite has separate horn tweeter and midrange speaker. The mix-match system now sounds almost perfect to me. I got the Z-5500 to have the digital inputs for my PS3 and HDTV receiver and a remote control for convenience. Overall, the Logitech Z-5500 would be my 1st choice for building a computer entertaiment system.

This unit is great when it works, but the controll head will fail. They know it. Look up answer 7333 on their website. You will be out of warrantee, so tough luck. You will be offered the chance to buy a replacement system, not just the head, with a 30 day warranty for half off their list price.
