A friend of mine has bought those speakers and it sound great. But still bear in mine chris, as I said in your previous blog post before, keep your optical wire as short as possible to avoid data loss in the wire.

Those speakers are great I have a few models down. I love these things! It’s very fun to annoy neighbors with lmao and good for gaming. Grats on speakers :)

tiger direct is selling it for $139 this weekend deal. lol>

Sweet speakers Chris. I discovered your site through youtube while searching for mac videos. Since then, I’ve been hooked. Keep up the good work.

omg i just got these speakers and they are amazing such good sound quality. ooh and did u know that you can get a second skin on the lcd control pod just by pressing a few of the buttons for 6 seconds when the control pod is off. the second skin is totally awesome. go z5500 digital!

Hm, I’ve been researching sound systems. I’ll look into this one, to see what it’s like.

Problem is I don’t want too many wires. :( Wires going from one side of the room to the other is unacceptable. Thanks. :)

OMG Chris I have those same speakers but i got mine this past summer they are amazazing i love them sooo much prolly the best 400 bucks i spent in my life.

Do you know what gauge that wire is? How Many db can it hold without it burning up? Because i have a similar one and i have been thinking about buying 18- gauge wire? Thanks alot ive actually learned sum stuff from that video

I bought the same set about a year ago. It’s a godsend. Currently hooked up to an Apple TV, PS3, and Wii. My G5 has an optical in/out, but I decided to use a 2.1 set.

I really had a hard time to put the subwoofer far far away.

Your neighbor will dislike you.

Yeah Logitech is pretty bad about replacing parts. I couldn’t find my G7 reciever and they were gonna make me buy an entirely new mouse, but luckally I found it.

Forget computer speakers. Speakers are speakers. Get a good pair of hifi stereo speakers from B&W, Infinity, Klipsch, Jean-Marie Reynaud, Dynaudio etc. coupled with a decent stereo amp and a decent DAC. You’ll get better space imaging from a good stereo set than one of those mass market 7 channel jobs made by manufacturers of computer peripherals.

Those magnets are pretty dam powerful. I gotta be careful when I put my pedals in the back of my amp box or else they’ll just go “clunk” to the back of the speakers…. and they’re only 450watts.

Is the link to the guitar learning program the right link? Shoudn’t this link be to a logitech page or something?

ive lifed that sub before its not that heavy

i have a 10 inch sub from my yamaha surround sound system and then i also have to othe large speakers that have 8 inch subs lol its madd loud

At dell(dot)com its only USD209.00

Holy crap I can’t believe I missed the unpacking of your speakers. Haha I never thought you’d get those. I thought you would be getting Klipsch or something =P Anyways, I have two sets of those

Lol that you can’t really lift it up. Well I a skinny piece of crap 13 year old but I had to lift both z-5500s upstairs to my room =S

Getting these too now. Seeing as I’ve decided to build a gaming PC. My G550W can stay with my other PC :P

PLEASE explain how can a tweeterless system be THX certified???? it is impossible
how can a 3 inch speaker handle highs up to 20000hz??
impossible again!!!
stop the crap go buy Altec Lansing
I am still using altec´s good old ACS48 because i can not find anything that sound better.period

i was gonna get the z-5500 but found z5300e for 50$ and couldn’t pass up :)

i take it the sub is not shielded . quality
gear is

rms power is 505 wats

Congrats chris….but you should’ve bought a regular home theatre system…..these 5.1 computer speakers are good…but they can compete with the regualar home theatre systems….and speakers without stands is a big no no for me personally.

Ah good choice Chris.

yes very good choice

way better than my previous bose companion 5s
kick ass speakers though

nice

bet its loud

dude your a tard. it has tweeters, and yes it can hit 20,000hz, because it has tweeters i tested it. if it didn’t have tweeters then it would not get the THX certification. your just a fan boy who knows shit about audio and just buys by brad not stats!

haha its heavy its big

Those things are the best I recommend buying them

bilyam it doesnt have tw. an THX certification doesnt care for that. but the system is so bad for its price. U can get far better stuff. The subwoofer is small doent go deep enough for movies. Amplification is awful. Bottom line u cant get good sound from speakers as big as oranges.

Miau56, if it doesn’t have a tw the how does it reach 20,000hz? a felted paper voice can’t reach 20,00hz. but if you look at the driver you will see a cone shaped ting where the dust cover would b, that is the tweeter, it works in a similar fashion to Tanoy speakers, but slightly differently because of patents put out by Tanoy (and the fact the Tanoy is high end and Logitech in not). the price is expensive if you by from Logitech, but if you look around a bit you can get it for about 50% less

Bilyam that system doesnt reach 20k within a 3db band. That is a Tang Band driver and that center pointy thing is the dust cap. Its not a coaxial driver. Plus if it has tweeter it must have xover as well since its not bi-amped. If u open it u wont find any xover. Its a simple widerange driver.

NO, thats incorrect, the little center pointy thing is called a phase plug, it ‘can’ infact reduce the higher frquencies…
The phase plug is mainly there to help the angular dispersion of the sound, all the soundwaves are directed straight out. My Z2300 has then and it also has NO tweeter, SO it sure as hell can’t hit the 20khz which its rated at, yet it STILL got the THX rating.

indeed phase plug its what it is.
