Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 505-Watt 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System

Amazon.com Product Description

We've taken the award-winning Logitech Z-680 speaker system and made it even better. How? By improving everything from the subwoofer to the satellites and adding new innovations like real-time digital sound equalization.

The result is the Logitech Z-5500 Digital, a THX-certified, 500-watt 5.1 surround sound speaker system that offers everything you could possibly want… and some things you didn't even know you needed. And once you plug in your PC, DVD or music player, or video game console, you'll never want to listen to anything else.
  • Powerful, distortion-free bass: The new, larger 10-inch long-throw subwoofer driver with flared bass port delivers 188 watts of thunderous bass.
  • Innovative driver technology: Polished aluminum phase-plug satellites combine two drivers into one--the clarity of a tweeter with the richness and fullness of a separate mid-range.
  • Digital equalization: The Z-5500 Digital actively adjusts frequency response in real time for the cleanest, most accurate sound reproduction.
  • DTS® 96/24 support: Enjoy studio-quality sound thanks to the Z-5500's support for 96 kHz / 24-bit digital audio streams
  • Amazingly powerful controls: The Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center lets you control volume to all speakers, set inputs, and much more. And the separate wireless remote is great for home theaters and video game consoles.
  • Innovative satellite design: Cloth grilles are removable for a pro-audio look. Pedestals rotate for easy wall mounting or desk placement. Center channel can be mounted on wall, above or below monitor.
  • Connect to multiple sources: Simultaneously connect 6 audio sources including PCs, video game consoles, and DVD, CD & portable music players… and control it all from the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center.

4 out of 5 stars Logitech Z-5500.......2007-12-24

Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 505-Watt 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System Upon doing some researching for my next computer speakers, I stumbled upon these speakers from Logitech. All of the reviews gave these speakers kudos. After purchasing them and using them, the only negative I have encountered is the sometimes poor sound from the center channel, like it can't handle the output or something. The bass is great from the subwoofer. Overall, I would give this speaker set an 8 out of 10

5 out of 5 stars The Last Set of PC Speakers I'll Ever Need.......2007-12-24

If you've ever taken the time to look into what exactly comprises a "THX" certification, then you know that most PC speaker systems wouldn't pass the test. The Z5500 system is THX certified, and there-in lies their excellence. The power and sound clarity of these speakers is phenomenal, but not without a little bit of tuning and setup. The speakers can play at ear-bleeding levels and the subwoofer is huge enough to have neighbors knocking on your door to cool-it. That being said, the beauty is that they sound good at low levels too. I use my setup mainly for mixing down 5.1 surround music. I sit in the "sweet spot" and close my eyes and these speakers transport me to a world of aural heaven. The bass is thunderous, the midrange is stout and the highs are superb. I can conifidently mix and make EQ adjustments without worry that the end result will sound perfect on my theatre system's speakers. I would have gladly paid double what I paid for these, to achieve the level of performance they deliver. Thankfully they're available at reasonable prices. I can recommend these with my full endorsement.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent for the money.......2007-12-24

Excellent, very clear and powerful system for the money. At the normal price I would have to think twice about it though.

4 out of 5 stars Not bad... For PC speakers........2007-12-20

I am going to end up returning these (or selling them), but they arn't bad stricktly as PC speakers. Music is ok, but nothing to write home about. Movies and games are definetly better compared to music. The subwoofer is not as impressive either physically or sonically as most will say. For one thing, a slight tap on the side causes a very obvious RING. Now, maybe its the metal covering over the woofer, but this isn't good, besides that, it is very light, cheaply made, and probably underpowered. And for anyone saying this is as good as a $2000 or whatever component system. Get real!

If you value features over pure sound quality, these arn't a bad buy, the "console" is a pretty cool concept. But sound quality with music leaves too much to be desired for me personally, especially for $250 and they arn't anything better than what I already had for music. (except more bass)

3 out of 5 stars So so.........2007-12-20

Subwoofer is way too big, especially since all the speakers connect from it. Sound quality is "ok". The sub does not blend too well with the satellites and gets kinda annoying. This would be ok with bigger speakers but small satellites need a higher crossover frequency with the sub to compensate for the tiny sound from the satellites and these speakers don't do it.
