THE BEST - MAN UP AND GET THIS !!!, November 18, 2009That says it ALL im so happy with these Speakers!! after 1 year there still pumping
music as LOUD as i wont them to be !!
Forget about the price! get these your be HAPPY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic!, November 16, 2009This is exactly what I wanted to go with my Sony all-in-one computer. The computer has optical out, and the Z-5500 has optical in, and the processor and amp in it produce amazing sound. The control unit… is quite handy and easy to place within reach without the big footprint of an amp. The high quality sound has made using the all-in-one computer a completely new experience. In my opinion, the Logitech Z-5500 gives me one heck of a lot for the money.
The Best., November 12, 2009These speakers are awesome. With video games and movies, the sound is all around you and makes the experience much better. With music, the speakers and the bass get LOUD. It goes to full volume, then… Boost 1 through Boost 11 after it already hits full volume. I just found that out 2 weeks ago when I was messing around with it after owning the system for 2 years. You will never have to go past the normal full mark unless you are trying to tick off the neighbors. When I purchased the system two years ago it was $225 on amazon.
Have 3 sets now..., November 10, 2009Excellent Speaker System - The BEST Quality and Value, October 14, 2009Amazing speaker system. Installation was easy and I am incredibly satisfied with the speakers so far. These speakers sound great and are by far the best deal you can get with THX certified 500 watt 5.1… surround sound speakers. My only complaint is that the system does not include any optical (Toslink) or mini Toslink cables for use with many laptops and desktops that do not have S/PDIF outputs. Most Macs and laptops have either optical or mini optical outputs so the inclusion of this cable would be a nice addition for such users.

In this older report, Nathaniel Wilkins gives a glowing review to the Logitech Z-5500 speakers, despite their high price tag. He wishes the subwoofer were a bit "tighter" and that midranges were stronger, but he still describes the performance of this speaker system as "near-perfect."

The Logitech Z-5500 surround-sound speaker system gets an Editors' Choice award from Brandon King, who says, "The sound signature is accurate, clear, crisp and expansive." He has some minor complaints about the unit's design, and he would have liked a smaller subwoofer.

This Australian gadget review site says the Logitech Z-5500 computer speaker system is great for games and movies. Andrew Kliem found bass heavy, though, and agrees with others who say that these speakers might not be the best speakers for certain types of music.

More than 1,200 owner reviewers combine to give the Logitech Z-5500 PC speakers a five out of five composite rating. Some feel midranges get short shrift, but bass response is excellent for games and movies.
