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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Unreal!
Words cannot describe the clarity and power of this system! Not to mention that the list price is $400 and Amazon sells it for under $200 (not including shipping). I recommend trying it for yourself.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great sounding speaker system
I bought this speaker system to replace my Klipsch Ultra Pro Media system when its amplifier failed (a very common problem with the Klipsch system). Until that time, I thought the Klipsch were the best sounding speakers available for computer use. I took a chance on the Logitech Z-5500 system and am not the least bit sorry. I am not a gamer so I cannot comment on that aspect but for music and videos, these speakers cannot be beat! The sub-woofer is large so make sure you have room for it under ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Awesome Speakers
I was searching for good digital speakers for my new rig and came across this model which was raved about by users across multiple websites. So after spending quite a while convincing myself that these were the speakers that I should be going in for, I finally took the plunge. Trust me when I say this, I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED. These speakers are way more than just a bang for the buck. They are high quality, premium surround sound equipment and will lighten up any living room to the pedestal of a home ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing
Honestly, these speakers are awesome, and Amazon just raises the bar and is more awesome every day.

The sound quality is great, definitely worth the money. The dolby surround sound makes all your music sound fantastic, and what can i say they are loud!

I bought them for 223, less than a week later the price dropped to 189 and Amazon refunded the difference after i told them, seriously great customer service.

Oh, did i mention you should get these speakers? :)
