Hey, you can get these same speakers from TigerDirect.com for $259.99. Newegg.com has the same speakers, but costs $302.99. Either way, both are better in price than here! No, I did not buy from here,

In short, its really boomy, with alot of bass, some clarity, but if your an audiophile like me, I wouldn't buy them, I would just go with a Klipsch or the Creative S750's because these aren't good for anything other than bass and gaming.

Bass is amazing, Quality is very good, although my first set, broke, the terminals on the subwoofer shorted out, so I ended up with a 2.1 instead "sigh" I hear its common though
Weakness
Since there isn't a tweeter, its pretty bad listening to piano solos and guitar, like real music Doesn't sound that great, their reallllly loud, and good for gaming, dumb and bass and thats it =/

i have read dozens of reviews on the logitech z-5500 and watched many vids on youtube too, one or two reviews said the bass was too heavy, while this may be true if you have a half decent soundcard you can simply control the bass with the software. the speakers look great, the control panel is the size of a brick with a big fat dial to control the sound! the sub is i think one of the biggest you can buy for the pc, the sound on call of duty 4 is awesome...tiger woods 2008? not so much. great value for yourmoney am using the z-5500's for my home theatre. logitech have made a great system.

If you can still find this product. Get it. Logitech is trying to push their 7.1 system which is less strong in the bass department. Eventually it will be gone. I got mine for $250 2 years ago. It is much cheaper now. GET IT!!! This thing will literally hurt your ears. No joke. It can cause pain in your ears and eventually give you a headache that lasts a while. Also it could damage your hearing. And after all that is what we are looking for aren't we?

pshhh every thing about this product is strong. They made their newer model weaker because of this product. This is like the old hot rods. Too strong for the streets. But they had their time.

This device, coupled with my Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card can really make my windows rattle! The only problem is that my wife won?t let me use it to its full potential while she?s home =( I was not expecting the subwoofer to be the size of a dog house, but I guess that?s what you need to get the huge sound that you do! I use my system mostly for gaming and the surround sound, crisp audio, booming base, and directionality is awesome! Now that I?m playing games with the new sound card/speakers, I feel like I?m hearing whole new games.

If you like to watch movies with lots of sound effects, such as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Spiderman, Die Hard, etc., these speakers will rock your world! I doubt you'll find this much bang for your buck with any other system! You would most likely have to buy a much more expensive component stereo system to come close to the quality and audio volume this system delivers! Seriously, THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!

Have you ever been to a loud rock concert? They sound just about like that! 500+ watts RMS; 5.1 audio; digital inputs; non-hardwired speaker wire which is easily upgraded to monster cable, etc.
Weakness
I have been using these speakers for over one year. If there is anything bad about them, I have yet to find it! If it's too loud, your too old!

I absolutely love these speakers. I rarely get them past half way as they are loud! I'm thinking about using them in my living room as they blow my Sony entertainment unit away! Example: I was listening to Chemical Brothers - Influenced, and it actually moved my door in the office until it was almost closed!! I am not making that up. The only draw back, and its a big one, is lack of driver support for Vista. And, you may have to start replacing your 128 Kbps MP3's as the lower encryption becomes noticeable at higher volumes. Bottom Line: I highly recommend this product, I'm sure Vista support will come down the road. Lastly, if these speakers don't put a smile on your face, nothing will.

Seemingly endless volume. More power than you will ever need. Near perfect sound reproduction.
Weakness

Best bang for the buck electronics item I've ever owned. More than adequate as computer speakers and powerful enough for small to medium sized home theater applications. Works best in rooms of approximately 400 sq ft or less.

Best Speakers I've Ever Owned!!!! I swear, I've been through sound systems back and forth and to me they even sound better than the BOSE system I previously had!!!! Go Out and get these now!!!!
Weakness
Inputs should have been separated from initial 5.1 inputs, Lack of Sleep or auto shut off. Subwoofer is huge, heavy and will give you a headache. Control Pad is big and thick like a concrete Brick.

A powerful system but remember, this IS a bang for the buck system. For someone with an audiophile ear, and will pay the money required for such a system, this is not for you. This is NOT a replacement for a high end audio solution. But it is, however, a good replacement for a Home theater in a box. I give this system four out of five stars because it does what it says it will do: punch out hard, loud, and reasonably filling sound at a darn good price and I like bang for the buck considering that I'm in college but there are some things lacking that make it a system to really "WOW!" the heck out of someone who knows a little something about audio. They work great for movies and games. The sub packs quite a punch. Occasionally, the sub is a little behind in response but hardly noticable to the casual ear. Mids and highs seem strong especially for what you pay for but do start to give a little bit once you really push them to the limit (expected from any multimedia speaker system though: Klipsch's ProMedia Ultras, Creative's Gigaworks, or Logitech's Z-5500). For the strictly music listening though, I would consider the Creative Gigaworks S750's. Though pricy, it may be worth it and also consider it's a 7.1 system as opposed to a 5.1 (no receiver though).This system is clearly a bang for the buck flagship multimedia system. Is it better than an $800 HTIB? In most respects, yes also considering the control module has some (but not all) of the same inputs a HTIB reciever would have. Is it a several thousand dollar audiophile system? Absolutely not. But for putting down less than $300, there's no way you can go wrong.To sum it up, audiophiles who can afford audiophile equiment: stay clear. People who are looking for a great speaker system for a great price and has the performance to show for it: it's a definite buy.

I had read that these speakers had cinch / RCA conectors. NOT TRUE. They use regular wire and hook up is simple. I also read that you can't control Center Rear and SUB. NOT TRUE. You can and it's simple. There are volume controls for each. I had also read that you can't control the Dolby signal. NOT TRUE. You can control they Dolby by pushng a button on the console or remote. Secret control is that by turning up the volume to MAX, continue to turn it up more and you'll reach the "BOOST" mode (1 - 11). In this mode you will shatter windows and knock things off the wall without any distortion. These are excellent speakers for the money. The SPL is somewhere close to a 747 Jet in your living room 110db.

The one thing besides these speakers which i could say is amazingly valuable (compared to cost) is my iMac G5. And even that was on the pricey side. Especially considering the price of these speakers on this site (up to $400 from other stores), these are perfect, even for an audiophile.Anyone who listens to music, particularly from their computer (via iTunes or whatnot), should have these.

Impeccable sound quality, amazing bass, convenient remote, all the speakers and controls look very contemporary, includes speaker-wire
Weakness
Heavy (not that it should be moved more than once), remote seems unnecessarily large (though still light and pocketable)
