Earth Shattering Bass
Written by AH from Basingstoke
Sep 22, 2005
I bought these speakers for my PowerBook using the M-Audio Transit for the optical output. They are unbelievable. The subwoofer is so powerful it makes the dorrs in my room rattle. The balance of sound is great with equally ear piercing trebles. But the best part is turning them up past full volume until they go into 'Boost Mode'! …More

Awesome sound
Written by BM from Croydon

These speakers arrived today and we have just set them up now. All I can say is WHOOOOOOOOOOOA!!! These are truly terrific. We bought them as a surround sound for a DVD player. In the past we have used a DVD home cinema kit you know the all in one box set things you get from comet. These are fine until your DVD starts playing up (We have gone through two of these kits in 2 years) and it is a pain to pull the carpet up and re-thread all the wires again. We wanted a more long term solution so we decided on seperates. We bought these speakers based on price and the terrific reviews on here and I now want to add to that praise.
We plugged the speakers into a new DVD player and the sound blows you away. It is so loud (Thank God for a detached house) and you can hear every inch of sound so clearly. No muffles in speech and you can feel the bass inside your body it is so terrific. We tried it out on the two sound greats. Star wars and Lord of the rings and never before even with my old decent sony home cinema kit have I heard the films like this before. It is actually like being there inside the action yourself. They are also very easy to set up even if it does involve pulling your carpet up. But at least now when the DVD dies as they seem to do in this house I can just buy another and re-use these great speakers for years to come.
They at under £200 a total bargain as well when you think a decent Denon home cinema is more like £700+. These IMO are just as good if not better than that. …More29 of 30 people found this useful

Logitech Z-5500 5.1 THX Speaker System
Best Value Possible
Written by TW from Toyonaka

I've had these for over 4 years and they still work wonderfully. If properly set up, and I mean not just hooking up the cables, but paying attention to location and the right volumes to the satellites by using the test sequence, you could not find a better set of speakers for so little - the sound is remarkably rich and clear. Shame I have never been able to test the true power but once I warned my neighbours and raised the volume to a little below half and there was no distortion and the sound was fantastic - too loud for my ears, but every claim made is an understatement. The truth is so much better!
It has input for digital, coax and multi-channel input. I have it connected to an Airport Express and run all the music from my computer to it. It is fantastic and I would recommend it before Bose or any other more expensive brand. The quality you get for the price is superb. Best bang for the buck. Also it a certified 5.1 system! You can't go wrong with this. Really. I would never recommend it if I was not certain and convinced of it myself. …More9 of 9 people found this useful
