Logitech Z 5500 Digital

This is my second set of surround sound speakers the first being some KEF's powered by a Yamaha amp which is brilliant. Anyway I wanted some speakers for my bedroom that didn't cost the earth but did a good job of provideing surround sound from my pc and ps3. This system has a few connections but only one of each so to hook both my ps3 and pc which both use a optical connector I need a switcher box which wasn't expensive. The main problem with these speakers is every now and again the fuse in the sub blows and needs replacing. It has only happened to me once in about 3 years but I have read on the internet of people having the problem ...  Read the complete review

~ Intro ~ After many weeks of searching the internet and looking round stores like comet and Curreys for a surround sound system, I wasn't really any better off than when I started.

I bought these speakers about 12 months ago and are still working flawlessly. I have them linked to my X-Fi XtremeMusic Soundcard in my PC and the sound quality is exceptional, whether its playing back music, games or movies! the only thing to bear in mind when purchasing these speakers is the size of the subwoofer. it is very very big, however it produces clear deep bass notes. the control unit is excellent and provides many different sound modes whilst supporting Dolby ProLogic II and different connections including Coax, Optical and Analouge. For the best possible sound quality i would suggest using the optical connection! Because of the ...  Read the complete review
