Truly Amazing
This sound system has brought my computer to life. Games, movies, youtube music videos, I do it all on my computer now and the experience is amazing. The built-in feature is also a great bonus. The price isn't cheap, but you are really getting the bang for your buck.
Loud
These speakers blew me away, by far the best computer speakers one can own. My neighbors more than likely but they'll get over it. These speakers definitely thump so be prepared.
Good customer GONE
Like the product fine! Looked at it on Amazon for over a year, hoping to get a better price! Finally decided to purchase. THE FOLLOWING DAY Amazon reduced the price substantially. I requested the new purchase price, got a terse, "sorry, but no" response. Kept the product...but Amazon lost a buying customer!
No HDMI, No problem
I've had the Z-5500's now for about 9 months and my opinion of them hasn't changed since day 1. For the money, as countless others have stated, this system can't be beat. 500 watts with THX certification? Forget about buying anything else and get this system, that is, unless you have the money to build a system, piece by piece. I actually purchased this system from a competing company to amazon, for 8 plus free shipping. Buy your cables from monoprice.com for a few dollars a piece and you're ready to rock.
forget what others say, this system is LOUD. So loud, it shakes my whole house and can be heard blocks down the street if I have a window open and crank the volum up to boost mode. I use these speakers as my livingroom surround sound, hooked up to a Samsung 46-inch 550 model and PS3 for Blu-ray, DVD, and mp3. If I don't feel like turning the ps3 on to listen to music, I'll just connect my iPod directly through the auxillary imput. These speakers more than fill up a room that is 350+ square feet when watching a movie. So, anyone who says they sound "hollow" or "tiny" when placed in a large room is full of crap.
My only real complaints are: It would be nice to have wireless rear speakers, for obvious reasons. It's a pain running speaker wire all around the room and trying to hide it from view. AND, the speaker wire they give you isn't nearly long enough if you're not using this system in a small dorm room, so be prepared to shell out for your own speaker wire. Also, no HDMI input/output. Logitech should really update this design to meet the growing technology. However, for the price, this isn't a sticking point. I mean, this blows away competing systems at 2 times the price and 5.1 through optical hookup still sounds pretty darn good. So, I can overlook this flaw. I highly recommend you purchase this system. Use the money you save for a good blu-ray player, like a ps3
Great Product, follow the instructions & you'll be good
Pros: Digital Dolby, DTS, THX certified, sounds great on HBO HD and all the channels that support Digital Dolby, i'm using an optical cable, with the cox box & PS3 as well as the Power Mac G5, aux for the iPod
Cons: not any really wish the cable for the speakers were longer
