Digital camera reviews of Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 505-Watt 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System

Digital camera Review: Hi fidelity, great performance!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was looking for a speakers set to be used with my livingroom's HDTV, after read several reviews from many websites about Home Theater Systems I chose to buy The Logitech Z5500 because its specifications were just that I needed.

I have plugged it to the soundcard trough SPDIF cable, the quality sound and performance delivered from these speakers is amazing, I have watched some movies with Dolby Digital Sound, DTS, THX,... and I have done some sound tests and let me tell you that the subwoofer could blow your mind.

My brother in law came by to my house, saw it, loved it and bought another one to him inmediately...
