I've been looking at upping the ante on my surround system. Currently I have a Logitech X-530, which is a great system for the price. But I was wanting something with a bit more bump.... so took the plunge and ordered these: Newegg.com - Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Speaker - Speakers

I got em off Dell of all places, they had em for $244 with free shipping. I can't wait to get them, should drown out my Vantec Tornado fans lol.

It's nice having cash, yes. I'm still saving most of my money, but the supervisors not helping me to go home early while I work 5 hours overtime requires me to reward myself lol.

Been meaning to add.... these speakers are freakin awesome! They are a bit pricey, but they support HD Audio, Pro Logic I and II, and DTS 5.1. If you can tell the difference between any of those, then you're a better man than I. The bass is crisp and clear, no rattling at all. The surround effect is excellent, they are loud enough to drown out a Vantec 80mm Tornado fan spinning at 6500RPM. I find myself looking around thinking I hear something when I realize it's just the surround sound picking up a background sound in a movie. The volume is adjustable to each speaker, 500 watts is plenty of boom. The control center is really neat, it's small, sits on a desk, and it has a nice amount of features. It also comes with a wireless remote. I have no real complaints, can't think of a single con except maybe the price.

I can't say anything against the X-530, I had them for a year and they are excellent sound quality for the price. However, if you have the dinero, the Z 5500 is just on another level. Buy em!
