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.

WoW5
Insane is all i can constantly think of.
These are fantastic speakers and LOUD..Crystal Clear...a must have for Gaming, DVD's and Music.
So glad i upgraded for these

awesome product5
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.

Speakers good, randomly shuts off3
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.
