This is the second set of Logitech Z-5500 I own. My first set I bought for my computer and have been extremely happy with them. Im no "Audiophile" but I do have a Good ear. the Z-5500's perform well in all audio ranges and they are clean clear and powerful. I bought this second set for use as my home surround sound system on my 47" Toshiba Regza LCD tv. and I have them set up via optical cable (TOS Link) My FiOS set top box, DVD player and Playstation 3 are all going to the TV via HDMI cables then I went from the TV to the Logich pod via the optical cable and I have pure digital sound and video now and they completely rock My old surround sound system I paid $500 for and are total crap compared to the Logitechs. So whether you are considering buying these for your computer or as a home theater system I say GO FOR IT! BUY 2!

I've had this system for about 9 months and use it regularly. I have had it hooked up to a PS2, a PS3, and my PC, using the optical cable for each one. The first thing I noted is the amount of power this little system creates. I've never turned up the volume past the third notch (out of probably 20), which is enough to fill my entire 800 square foot basement full of sound.
I wasn't as impressed with the bass response as most folks seem to be - to me, the best bass response only ocurrs when the system is turned up loud; I wasn't too happy with the bass response at low volumes. One good thing about the bass, however, is it is distortion-free, which is VERY surprising given the low cost of this system. Turn it up as loud as you can and the bass won't distort.
Another problem I noticed is the high-end sound (tweeters) is not that great without the help of an equilizer. For example, if you're going to use this on a PS2 or a PS3, you don't have the ability to equilize the sound, and the high-end sounds don't stand out so much. On a PC, however, one can adjust equilizer settings to create more treble and a brighter, clearer sound, which these speakers can handle. There are no equilizer settings on the Z-5500 - all the user can do is adjust the independent output levels of the subwoofer, center channel, and rear channels. There is also no right/left balance adjustment, which might peeve some people who have their speakers set at unequal distances from their TV/PC. ... Read More

This system is fantastic, especially for the price! Everything in it's technical description plus more. I would NOT recommend EVER putting it in "boost" mode. The quality is terrible even with the sound card I have. It also damages your speakers if you do this for pro-longed periods of time. A con I have is the following: Logitech forces almost all vocals in a song/whatever out of your center speaker. I wish to see that Logitech evenly distributes vocals to all satillite speakers. Console is easy to use, and very sleek looking, without sacrificing things you can do with it. I recommend not taking off the face-plates on your surround speakers, due to the fact of sound quality. Sub is great in various ways. Overall this system lets you hear things you never heard before!!
