Wow

This system is awesome. I am playing battlefield 2 and it is great hearing guys trying to sneak up behind you and you hearing them coming up from behind. There is plenty of power here. I play at about half power. Go ahead and click on the order now button.

Try it, you'll like it

I wanted a system to play music on so after much searching I came across this system. It garnered plenty of good reviews so I picked it up at CompUSA for $399, with the intent of listening to it to see what I thought, and if I didn't like it I could return it to them within 21 days for a full refund. It wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be, everyone reviewing it says it's massive but the box is easily manageable.

Setup
So I followed the setup instructions on the large poster included and the actual manual and installation was a breeze, maybe 10 minutes max. I don't have a digital out on my soundcard because I only have plain old Audigy not Audigy 2 card so I connected it using the 3 color coded 1/8" connectors. For those wanting digital sound from their computer without an optical connection make sure it actually has a digital out connection so you can plug in an adapter to that slot with the capability of running a coax wire from the adapter to the main control center.

Listening
I searched for a random rap song (for bass) on my computer and played it and I was blown away. The sound was amazing, the highs were all there, not much midrange due to the size of the speaker drivers but who cares because that's all taken care of when that sub kicks in. I am definitely impressed with the performance of the sub. It is tight and punchy, not boomy at all with a lot of other subs especially ht packaged subs and some other one's that I've auditioned. When you turn up the volume to about half way it gets loud. There is no distortion at all and the sub is just begging to be heard. I have only listened to music and I am thoroughly impressed, and there are even different listening modes to choose from but some can only be accessed if you have a digital connection. I can't wait to connect an optical/coax cable to listen in digital.

Conclusion
This is an incredible system for an incredible price. (...) The sound is incredible, it gets loud with no distortion and the bass from the sub is ridiculous. You can control the volume of the sub, center speaker, and surround speakers individually. The multiple connections make this extremely versatile and I hope to soon connect my PS2 (optical), TV (coax), and computer at the same time.

Great sound quality, by far the best option!!

After reviewing different sets of speakers, this one is the best! Don't even think on spending more for similar systems with a fancy brand. Logitech is by far better in sound, design and quality, comparable to Bose, Kiplisch, Altec etc....but for many dollars less! I've been enjoying the true sound and quality of dozens of dvds, xbox games and my IPOD, resulting in clear and loud sound, with great bass power and excellent sound quality, zero distortion! Great option for your computer, home theater or videogames, by far the best option available, even better than the early Logitech's Z680 which by the way were incredible. This set of speakers rules!
