    Strengths: clear sound, thummping bass, many add on's

    Weaknesses:no hdmi

    Overall Evaluation: i have read dozens of reviews on the logitech z-5500 and watched many vids on youtube too, one or two reviews said the bass was too heavy, while this may be true if you have a half decent soundcard you can simply control the bass with the software. the speakers look great, the control panel is the size of a brick with a big fat dial to control the sound! the sub is i think one of the biggest you can buy for the pc, the sound on call of duty 4 is awesome...tiger woods 2008? not so much. great value for yourmoney am using the z-5500's for my home theatre. logitech have made a great system.

    Strengths: pshhh every thing about this product is strong. They made their newer model weaker because of this product. This is like the old hot rods. Too strong for the streets. But they had their time.

    Weaknesses:lol none

    Overall Evaluation: If you can still find this product. Get it. Logitech is trying to push their 7.1 system which is less strong in the bass department. Eventually it will be gone. I got mine for $250 2 years ago. It is much cheaper now. GET IT!!! This thing will literally hurt your ears. No joke. It can cause pain in your ears and eventually give you a headache that lasts a while. Also it could damage your hearing. And after all that is what we are looking for aren't we?

    Strengths: Crisp, clear, incredible sound, loud LoUd LOUD, optical input, remote control, quality construction with great looks, handy control modual.

    Weaknesses:A bit pricey

    Overall Evaluation: This device, coupled with my Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card can really make my windows rattle! The only problem is that my wife won?t let me use it to its full potential while she?s home =( I was not expecting the subwoofer to be the size of a dog house, but I guess that?s what you need to get the huge sound that you do! I use my system mostly for gaming and the surround sound, crisp audio, booming base, and directionality is awesome! Now that I?m playing games with the new sound card/speakers, I feel like I?m hearing whole new games.

    Strengths: Have you ever been to a loud rock concert? They sound just about like that! 500+ watts RMS; 5.1 audio; digital inputs; non-hardwired speaker wire which is easily upgraded to monster cable, etc.

    Weaknesses:I have been using these speakers for over one year. If there is anything bad about them, I have yet to find it! If it's too loud, your too old!

    Overall Evaluation: If you like to watch movies with lots of sound effects, such as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Spiderman, Die Hard, etc., these speakers will rock your world! I doubt you'll find this much bang for your buck with any other system! You would most likely have to buy a much more expensive component stereo system to come close to the quality and audio volume this system delivers! Seriously, THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!

    Strengths: Seemingly endless volume. More power than you will ever need. Near perfect sound reproduction.

    Weaknesses:Vista driver support.

    Overall Evaluation: I absolutely love these speakers. I rarely get them past half way as they are loud! I'm thinking about using them in my living room as they blow my Sony entertainment unit away! Example: I was listening to Chemical Brothers - Influenced, and it actually moved my door in the office until it was almost closed!! I am not making that up. The only draw back, and its a big one, is lack of driver support for Vista. And, you may have to start replacing your 128 Kbps MP3's as the lower encryption becomes noticeable at higher volumes. Bottom Line: I highly recommend this product, I'm sure Vista support will come down the road. Lastly, if these speakers don't put a smile on your face, nothing will.
