I dont even know where to start here.these would be my 3rd Logitech surround sound speakers.previously owned the z2300s which for the money were a nice setup but I gotta say the 5500 blow those babys out of the water by far.The bass on these will know a hole into your neighbors wall.even if your houses arent connected haha.Anyways I love all types of music but these speakers completely shine with anything electronic and as well as the hiphop genres.Clarity is great with them.I hear all the sounds without having to worry about an overpowering bass or lack of quality.Rock is also great to hear on these with the heavy double pedal bass songs too.I love the control pad it comes with that has many functions and settings.very useful for movies btw.And thats another thing about these speakers.I saw transformers 2 in blueray 5.1 and OMG i felt like those giant robots were right in my house lol.When you see something explode on screen the bass that is produced from these will shake your entire room.Ive never owned a set of speakers like these before.I know theyre a little pricey but its well worth the money especially if youre like me and pirate all of your movies in 5.1 blueray haha.
Please take in consideration that I am more of a music than a movie person, so I bought these speakers for like 80% music and 20% movies, because I didn't want two separate setups. This system is clearly not made for music fans. Sounds from movies are not that complex as music instruments, usually voices, explosions, engines and sound effects will sound good enough thru this system, because the speakers and sub where made for this, they sound quite at home playing "007 Quantum of Solace", not mind blowing but enough. I've had them for almost 6 months, so far this is what I think about them. I learned that a few months ago. ---As soon as I connected them and played some music I was impressed, but not by the sound quality, but for the tons of 5 star reviews, I bought them just because I really though they will be up to my expectations, so many people can't be wrong, right., boy I was wrong. If you are like me, then read my review, it might help. Also, my english may not be the best, not my main language anyways.My advise for movie lovers:I cannot complain too much about they sound they produce when watching a Bluray or DVD.
The little speakers produce bad quality sound and the sub is not powerful enough and just rattles around, not tight and punchy as you'd expect from the big ass enclosure, when you crank the volume the little speakers will actually hurt your ears, so they are loud, but not pleasingly loud, they are missing so much definition, you cannot tell the difference between a bad quality MP3 and 24-bit FLAC, and anybody can tell by miles with my pair of Polks with the same audio files, and I am not to be considered an audiophile by any means, if I where probably wouldn't be writing this because I will be so far away from this speakers to begin with.My advise for music lovers:If you are looking at this system mostly for music, please go look for something else, like a pair of bookshelf Polks and some Onkyo or H/K stereo receiver, you will be glad you did, maybe you will spend a little more money or maybe twice, but trust me, it will be worth every one of your hard earned dollars. This Logitech subwoofer is made for movies, it is not accurate nor tight enough for music, same case with speakers, they lack too much definition, its so disappointing no matter what you throw at them, from 128 kbps MP3's to Apple Lossless to 24-bit FLAC, you cannot tell the difference, even with my Onkyo CD player, MP3's from my Mac sounded the same. Nearly as a general rule, if you want the best sounding system for your money, is to avoid bundles, it is better to research a little and buy your own receiver, speakers and subwoofer separately, you'll end up with a much better sounding system and more appropriate to your needs. As I write this, my Logitech's are on sale.
Pro's:-They are solid and fairly heavy. I purchased them primarily for gaming and movies. I had this system connected to my xbox 360 and ps3. Heavier the better when it comes to speakers since the weight of speakers is generally from the size of the magnets and internal mechanics.-Fairly inexpensive when compared to other system with similar specs.-Very well built.-Great Hi's, mid's and low's.-Built in receiver, connects directly to your source. No complaints besides a few difficulties wall mounting. The price that is listed at the time of this review is $ four hundred and I purchased these around 2 years ago for approx $ two hundred so for the money they were an exceptional value. Con's:-The center speaker is difficult to wall mount without an offset screwdriver.
Great sound system. I don't know if thats because of my TV or this sound system. Not only do I have this set hooked up to my TV via optical but I have it hooked up to my computer as well using the standard cables. My only gripe is when I switch from HD channels to non-HD on my TV I have to turn off the system (either using the remote or power button) and then turn it back on. Either way I love it. =)
STYLISH AND PRACTICAL. W-O-W. SUPREME SOUND. LOTS OF POWER.LOTS OF DIFFERENT INPUTS.I ONLY PAID $230 W/SHIPPING. ON AMAZON.NOT A SINGLE COMPLAINT OR FLAW IN 7 MONTHS.
