Logitech Speaker System Z906 First Look

[admin]

Is the Logitech Speaker System Z906 for everyone? Of course not. But if you are on a serious budget and are looking for a $350 5.1 system with a basic receiver, we're betting you could do a lot worse. The speakers are all wall mountable, the "sub" promises 165 watts of "pure" bass, and the remote is wireless. With up to six inputs on the control unit/receiver, you'll be hard pressed to use them all. We wish we had more information on the frequency response and drivers (not to mention construction) but, honestly, it doesn't matter. It has 500 watts. And that's, like, 70 cents a watt. You can't beat that right?

THX certified, really? THX seems to have lost some cred as far as i am concerned

[its phillip]

THX multimedia is different, but it's still useless imo. I've owned a few sets of logitech speakers and I'm glad I finally got out of that mess.

I want to parts express and got me a 20wpc tri-path amp some Dayton audio speakers and got a 99 dollar Sony 10 inch sub for my PC. Sounds pretty good. Good enough so that I can sit and learn songs on my 5 string bass and hear every note spend about 158 bucks total

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting one of those little amps and some cheap dayton speakers for work - I've currently got this dinky little dell system that isn't all that great:

yu would be suprised at how good this speakers sound, but the best part is you can pretty much get what ever sppeakers you want, as long as the amp wil ldrive them like for example some psb book shelf speakers

Yeah well from previous logitech experiences, sound quality will be great but plugging in high end speakers into them won't make much a difference, the amplifier will only push mids and highs to the satellites, not even mid-bass. So if your expecting to push your bookshelf's or tower speakers with this, then consider again, however the unit itself seem's promising, quality will be great like all other logitech units. Just do note, don't count on buying this to switch out the stock speakers for your own, cause quality difference will be limited, might hear something better but not mind boggling difference because of the frequency pushed out by the amplifier into satellites aren't sufficient for bookshelf speakers to even benefit. However, if you have great bookshelf speakers you might noticed increase performance in midrange and if the bookshelf has a tweeter that will be great as well, however from experience Klipsch are the worst to hook up (or any other that is equipped with a high efficiency tweeter), because of their horn tweeters, and the logitech amp pushing a good bit of highs to feed the phase plug well, it will be unbearable easily.

It wouldn't make any sense to buy logitech speakers and swap the speakers with something else, we were talking about the cheap amps on parts express

I think a lot of ppl on this forum are going to poopoo this system and diss the THX certification... but I think this is a great solution for people with this price range that don't want to buy a reciever in a small bedroom/dorm room. (Perfect for computer speakers/Gaming/Bluray Player). I admit, I was the immature guy that blasted his Logitech speakers in college while people were studying (sorry ppl) =p

I've since moved on to a better system (Yamaha RX-A2000 + Klipsch Ultra2 5.2 setup) but I still enjoy listening to MP3s on my old Logitech speakers... brings me back to the good old days =p Not to start a flame war, but whenever THX is brought up the same guys start bashing it in a similar fashion to Bose. Not saying it's the best thing since sliced bread but I wouldn't look at a product in a negative light just because it's THX certified. Just my two cents for what its worth =)
