Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Digital 500W RMS Computer Speaker System

With basically everything technically the same as the previous Z-680 system, the Z-5500 system went through a aesthetic overhaul to bring the system up to date for 2004. Did they succeed? Yip, perfectly. I have to say that I am VERY glad they didn’t ruin any of the audio capabilities just to make the system look better. Some people might think this is a given, but some companies are indeed going that route. Why someone would want a good looking system that sounds like shiznit is beyond me. Sound performance whether through the low, middle or higher frequency range is perfect. Nothing needs upgrading , tweaking or re-engineering. With 500 watts worth of RMS power, the amplifier is just toying with your ear drums and daring you to turn up the dial.

The focal point of this system is the beautiful example of what a computer speaker system subwoofer should be. Words cannot describe how powerful and loud this woofer kicks. With the subwoofer and system volume only turned up to half, EVERYTHING in the room was vibrating or shuddering in some way. Even in the upper system volume levels the woofer never distorted and had me reaching for the volume dial to turn it down before it was even thinking of cutting out. The power is there if you want to use it, but I can almost guarantee 95% of the time you will only be using 25% of its’ capability.

Overall, I can say nothing but positive things about the sound reproduction using the Z-5500 system. The weakness in your computer audio will be the soundcard after this speaker system is installed.
