[Review] - Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speaker System

I've read the review and was very impresses, not only by the product but by the actual review itself, it's in-depth, well written and very informative without feeling too 'lengthy'.

Having it split into sections makes it a lot easier to read and get through (there is a lot but it doesn't feel as much as if it were in one big block)

Well done dude, must have taken some time :good:

 

Thanks , yea it did take some time, but i got it done in the end, proud of it, my 1st review, but dont expect it to be my last, as soon as i get more gear, more reviews

 

Nice review. I have the X-530 and it sounds great. I can't imagine how great the Z-5500 and Z-5300e systems cost. Hmm, I bet it would be a lot better if I ditched my Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Value (Value being the keyword). What kind of video card do you have.

 

nice review mate, it really kicked into me, i makes me wanna buy one, which i might do coz my missus PC needs a speaker too, ill give my old one to her and use the Z-5500

 

Thanks Hehe, you'll enjoy them, i belive its the only PC Speaker system to have a 10" sub, bigger is better, i am in one of the most cramped rooms every yet its quite big, and i still manage to fit the sub, at the moment i have it on its side to the port is upwards, i had it on a desk, i had it so the front was down firing too

Oh i forgot the say one thing in the review, the magnets on the sub are big, the sub aint shielded, i had it about a foot from my computer, it was ok even tho they reccommend keeping it 1m from any electrical equipment, its just TV's that you gotta be carefull were placing the sub, when you open the giant z5500 box, there should be a warning, but apart from this kick ass sound

Max, what video card do i have? X800XT, sound card you meant? i have an X-FI Fatal1ty, i used my onboard with the z5500's for some time, even with onboard the sound is brilliant, infact the speakers are so clear, in really low bitrate songs, you can hear some like crackling because of the bit rate, i did not find it a problem as its only really really noticable when your ear is near the speaker, not really a big deal, i have most of my songs in 128kbps, some songs there is crackling, but i havent noticed it since moving to the X-FI, i think that it corrects the music.

Also, the z5500 is one of the few pc speaker systems to have DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround decoders, you have to use optical for that or Coax, apparently with a card like the X-FI you use the X-FI's decoder and use analoug like me, i think with the X-FI its really designed for analoug, if people want to use coax and optical for DTS and DD5.1 they should maybe opt for somthing like the HDA X-PLOSION, best to place subwoofers in corners aswell, prefrebly diagonal and in a corner, i found under a desk and in the corner is amazing :jump2:

I really should os put this in the review, but anyway anything above that sounds bad, dont let it put you off, its a great system, better than most All in one Home Theatre systems, and the z5500 can be a home theatre system

 

Looks, and reads like you put a lot of effort and time in to it. If I didn't already have a set of 5.1 speakers I'd probably consider investing.

Nice work!

 

Great review Willz, very professional, logically and cleanly laid out and highly informative. You definately know the ins and outs of your product. I envy you. I'd go for a top notch sound system myself but my parents would get annoyed so I just use headphones regardless of what I'm doing. Shame really.

 

Thanks yea i put lots of effort into it, was harder to do because i was using Wrod 2007 and it was hard and laggy

Thanks , i try to use headphones, but dont really like to use them that often , yea i know alot about the product, did alot of reading about it before i got it too.

 

Nice review Willz, looks professional and well thought out .

 

Thanks

 

Nice review Willz

 

Thanks , i am glad people are reading it

 

:good: :good: This was an excellent review Willz. Basically you described the product and what it was similar to. Posted enough pictures to get an idea of what you were talking about, with details sort of captioning the pic. Overall it was a detailed review, i like how you broke it down into sections and then gave a rating based on the sections rather than just saying "bass go boom yay 9/10" B/c as you said you like bass but at some points its too much. It was extremely easy to read and well broken up, so that you're not reading columns of text and not giving a shit about what youre reading by paragraph 3. Keep up the good work, there were a few proofreading errors, but none that i can actually remember at the time of this post so i guess they're not even worth worrying about. I enjoyed your review and i don't even care about speakers, which means it was great dude.:good:

 

Thanks
