Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 505-Watt 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System
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.

Customer Review: Excellent
it is PC speaker system but looks like a semi-professional one.

I wish it could be wireless…

Customer Review: Worth every penny and then some
Wow! I bought this set specifically for my home computer because I listen to music all the time while on the internet. I thought it was about time I purchased a real set of speakers and I most definitely made a good choice.

The bottom line: you are not going to get a better 5.1 surround system for the price. The subwoofer pounds and the satellite speakers are crystal clear. Buy this system. You won’t regret it.

Customer Review: Overall a good set
Fortunately, ours didn’t break during shipment. I am not too crazy about this pattern, but still bought this set just b/c it was the best one available in my price range. They are quite heavy (a bit too heavy for everyday use) and will last a long time. I really like the large bowl and especially the design of the lids! The lids are so light and easy to grab, place and remove. The flat design makes it easy to store in your fridge, which to me is a big plus over those bulky traditional corningware glass lids.
Customer Review: Broke back Correlle
Item looked nice in the store so I ordered it from Amazon.com. Similar to what another reviewer mentioned, the items arrived BROKEN. Return was not a problem but because of the fragile nature of these itrems, you would be better off buying this at a local store.
