Very Good and very, very loud,
(5 out of 5) by S. Wilson on Jan 17, 2007 (UK, South East England)I have connected this up to my TV and PC and all I can say is wow! Although I would not class myself as an audio expert these speakers where fantastic and setup was simple and the bass is incredible. I am fortunate enough to have no neighbors where I live so I can afford to put these as loud as they go, and boy don't they go loud!
I play a lot of games, but the best has got to be Battlefield 2. The speakers and the bass are crystal clear and bullets sound as though they are whizzing past your face and when artillery falls next to you, the bass makes it feel as though you are about to be hit! It really is an experience. Being my first 5.1 speakers, I thought I would stick to a budget of £150 and I got a lot more than I expected, price - quality seems has improved for the better over the last couple of years and I am delighted with the purchase.
The speaker system also comes with a control box which displays high contrast, clear characters which are easily readable and can be controlled via a remote. The control box allows you to change volume and a variety of sound configurations including; 6 channel surround, stereo and 2x stereo as well as movie and music modes. Surround and Front satellite volumes can also be configured individually as well as rear satellite delay timings and bass strength. Although I tend to stick to 2x stereo for watching TV and 6 channel for playing games these extra options should come useful to other users.
The only downside I should say is that the rear speaker wire was slightly too short for me as I am fussy and like to redirect my wires around the most tidy places possible, this meant I needed to create a custom wire for one of my speakers. Although for most users this shouldn't be an issue, owning quite a small room I can see that this could possibly be an issue for someone who is unfortunate enough to have a room layout like mine.
The quality of the remote is probably the least exciting bit of the product and it would have been nice to feel a bit more weight to the buttons and the entire remote, the design of the remote is also very boring and I think as a student I could have designed something which was more ergonomic.
At the end of the day the quality is very good, especially for the price. The bass is out of this world and the satellites are to a high standard. I would recommend this speaker set to a lot of people but if you're looking for a higher standard and you live in the middle of the Sahara I heard Logitech's 5500 range is even bigger and louder! Good luck and say goodbye to your eardrums, you'll want to buy these.
