Reviewers praise the power and sound quality of the Logitech Z-5500 surround-sound speakers. This 505-watt system is THX-certified, and it has five satellites and a subwoofer for true surround sound, making it the premium choice for games and movies. You may need to adjust bass with equalizer settings, though, for a balanced musical experience. Reviewers report no distortion, even when cranked up to insane volume levels. This system is pricey, however, especially considering how long it has been available. If you're on a tighter budget, Logitech's less powerful X-540 (Discontinued) 5.1 speakers give an enjoyable performance, especially for smaller listening areas.
The Logitech Z-5500 speaker system doesn't lack for attention and is covered in depth by CNET, PCMag.com, DigitalTrends.com and Australia's GoodGearGuide.com.au, though most of these reviews are fairly old. Plenty of owners have posted reviews on Amazon.com and Newegg.com.
