According to reviewers, the Logitech X-540 is a great budget choice among surround-sound speakers, trumping the cheaper Creative Inspire T6160 (*Est. $70). This 5.1 system pumps out 70 watts, and it's suitable only for smaller rooms. If you want or need more power, the Logitech Z-5500 (Discontinued) can deliver a whopping 505 watts, but you'll pay a lot more for it. Critics say sound quality for games and movies offered by the X-540 is great at this price, and the box includes a game console adapter. For music listening, some say mid ranges can overwhelm other frequencies, though equalizer adjustments can help with this.

Siddharth Bhatia says the Logitech X-540 surround-sound speaker system performs well for the price. Sound is clear and distortion-free at high volumes, he says. However, he found mid ranges "too forward for me at least," weakening bass response.
Review: Logitech X-540, Siddharth Bhatia, Dec. 23, 2008
This succinct review of the Logitech X-540 5.1 speaker system gives it a high rating for surround sound at an affordable price. Performance for movies and games is "astonishing" and "fantastic," Pahuau says, but mid ranges overwhelm highs and bass on music tracks.

More than 250 Amazon.com users advise prospective buyers about the Logitech X-540 5.1 speaker system. Most say that the X-540 is a great choice for gaming, less so for music. Short cables are an oft-cited criticism, making the purchase of extensions an unwelcome additional expense.
