Hear Every Detail: Logitech Unveils Theater-Quality Surround Sound Speakers

[Wile E]

As in I complained to Logitech that my £15 speakers were going to crap after 3/4 years of use, and they gave me a 50% of coupon. I used it to full advantage and scored the z-5500 with 50% of what ever the retail price was back then. About a year ago.

They are worth every penny of 50% off of MSRP. If that was their regular price, I would not issue a single complaint, well, other than they needed to add HDMI input support this time around.

What makes them crappy is the price they command for their performance level.

Me likey and I love the receiver it has. Same price as the z5500s now it seems.

Well.. the thing is that this caters to a specific market.
The vast majority of PC users have no need for, or even an idea about, true audio fidelity as such, nor does it really matter.
When comparing apples to apples, Logitech has done quite a good job for what's on offer.
Of course home Hi-Fi will be better, but at what price point do you wish to compare?
A friend of mine in the USA spend HUGE amounts of money on getting the best he could get at the time, including speakers with a nearly linear response from 20-20000Hz.
Things is.. those speakers alone cost him US$250K each.. (yes.. he's a rich bastard!).
However.. his system clarity was defeated by a $250 Technics amp, mated to a $500 pair of Beyerdynamic headphones.
It's horses for courses really

EDIT: Mussels: JB HiFi sells some of these Onkyo setups. More specialised audio places can probably give you a better range of these products

LOL @ your friend no offense but because the price is sky high don't mean it's better. But obviously he don't know what he is buying and just goes by a price tag nor did any research in what he is buying..

IF i had that kind of money i would not spend that much there is no need and secondly i be able to venture out to test more hardware and speakers to see if there to my liking as there is so many different sound quality's out there which match different types of music\usages.

And as for Technics like what the hell there a great brand but still they make different sounding amps and i have had ones in the past that were more forceful were the sound is forced to you which in turn is bad for music by Bob Marley say then i have more of a ladeback sound from there stuff too which work better with said music.
