Brand spankin' new Logitech Z-5500 500W speaker system.... $146 after rebate... SHIPPED.

JUMP ON THIS. Seriously. Do it... This is cheaper than I got it directly from Logitech ($199 shipped).

Amazon.com: Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 505-Watt 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System: Electronics

Wow nice. :D

Paid my Z-5500's $254.00 Canadian and that was actually a good deal, lol.

Edit: Oh and you wouldn't be deceived with the Z-4's either. They're likely more than loud enough for your needs. Be sure to fiddle with your soundcard/audio player equalizer to get the best sound out of these babies. Very often people don't use the equalizer to bring out the highs and lows and the music/games end up sounding muffled.

Another vote for the Z-2300s. Killer sound, incredible volume. I've had them for about two years, worth every penny.

Yellowhello ... a good speaker system is important to not skimp on ... If you can get the Z2300's then do it. Just found the best deal on them and posted it below.

Excellent speakers for $90 shipped from Dell.

DELL has the Z-2300 for $90 ... free shipping.

I haven't heard of them before, anyone else have some opinions on Klipsch?

Klipsch makes very good speakers as far as I can tell. Then again, no thundering bass will come out of a 2.0 set.

In satellite PC speakers, Klipsch by far had the best quality. All the Logitech systems really lack in midbass (though the subs normally do a good job making up for it). Klipsch speakers, especially the ProMedia 2.1s, offer great bass with amazing highs and mids.

Definitely the best out there. Too bad their stopped their ProMedia 5.1s.

Thanks. I think I may go with the Klipsch 2.0 system linked to above, looks great for the money. Can you add a sub to an existing 2.0 system later?

Depends on the set. You'd have to ask Klipsch to be sure about those.


As for midrange brownie, too many people complaining about Z-4's lack of it. Z-4's highs are pretty darn clear, the bass is decent (all enclosed sub is a strange idea from Logitech) though it's bass is crisp (8" driver being crisper than my Z-5500's 10") but out of the box with a not EQ'ed sound you will indeed lack in the mids. That can be fixed pretty easily with any decent sound card/audio player, but people don't bother...
