Amazon.com Product Description
We've taken the award-winning Logitech Z-680 speaker system and made it even better. How? By improving everything from the subwoofer to the satellites and adding new innovations like real-time digital sound equalization.

The result is the Logitech Z-5500 Digital, a THX-certified, 500-watt 5.1 surround sound speaker system that offers everything you could possibly want? and some things you didn't even know you needed. And once you plug in your PC, DVD or music player, or video game console, you'll never want to listen to anything else.
  • Powerful, distortion-free bass: The new, larger 10-inch long-throw subwoofer driver with flared bass port delivers 188 watts of thunderous bass.
  • Innovative driver technology: Polished aluminum phase-plug satellites combine two drivers into one--the clarity of a tweeter with the richness and fullness of a separate mid-range.
  • Digital equalization: The Z-5500 Digital actively adjusts frequency response in real time for the cleanest, most accurate sound reproduction.
  • DTS 96/24 support: Enjoy studio-quality sound thanks to the Z-5500's support for 96 kHz / 24-bit digital audio streams
  • Amazingly powerful controls: The Digital SoundTouch? Control Center lets you control volume to all speakers, set inputs, and much more. And the separate wireless remote is great for home theaters and video game consoles.
  • Innovative satellite design: Cloth grilles are removable for a pro-audio look. Pedestals rotate for easy wall mounting or desk placement. Center channel can be mounted on wall, above or below monitor.
  • Connect to multiple sources: Simultaneously connect 6 audio sources including PCs, video game consoles, and DVD, CD & portable music players? and control it all from the Digital SoundTouch? Control Center.

5 out of 5 stars awesome product   December 1, 2008
awesome product. the bass unit is much bigger and more powerful than I expected. I took my time and still had this up and running in less than 30 minutes. I bought this as a refurbished product, and there is no way to show it. looks and performs brand new !! Also shipping was in less time than expected.


3 out of 5 stars Speakers good, randomly shuts off   November 26, 2008
I bought these speakers a few months ago and had no trouble whatsoever. The sounds is great, and I like this set very much. However, the speaker will go into standby randomly, even if there is sounds running through any of the connections(optical, coax, direct). There is a forum [...]where many customers talk about this problem. So far I have no found out what the problem is exactly.


5 out of 5 stars You want value!!!!   November 25, 2008
For the money you can not beat this system. Sure you can get a klipsch set of speakers that will cost you 5 times what this system will cost. For purists this might not be for you. This system at half of it's full volume would satisfy most. I am very happy with it. I read all the reviews on this product before I bought it. I may buy another one.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome bass Really love it...   November 25, 2008
The BEST ever speaker i had in my life. Rocking Sound .. Awesome bass Really love it...


5 out of 5 stars Audio perfection!   November 21, 2008

I have owned the Z-5500's for over a year now and have not experienced a single problem with the speakers. I had to read through the 1 and 2 star reviews to get a feel for what people thought were valid complaints.

For the peolpe who experienced a problem under warranty then complained because they wouldn't have sound for 2 weeks while the repair was in progress- you rated these speakers 1 or 2 stars, if they are that bad you should just go purchase a cheesy set of speakers and leave these to the true audiophiles.

For the "Electrical Engineer"- I'm a master electrician. The popping you hear is an arc feedback in your electrical system. Replace your mercury or snap switches with quiet switches or get an APC UPS... you really should have decent power protection on all your equipment anyway. Also take advantage of a device called a "Graphic Equalizer". This modern marvel will let you fully adjust all ranges of the audio and your lows will no longer be too low. Jeez! Some "Electical Engineer".

Others complained about failures outside the warranty period. Nothing lasts forever, but does that mean they were crappy speakers while they worked? If you paid $300 and they lasted more than 1 year, you paid less than $1 a day for awesome sound.... and how much did you spend for a coffee at Starbucks every day? I'd rather have the Z-5500's than a Grande!

Sweet sound, shake the pictures off the walls when i want them to, over 1 year and not a single glitch.... get 'em at this really low price! You won't be sorry!!!
