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

Digital camera Review: Really good sound. Beware if mounting though
Summary: 4 Stars

I knew some of the higher end Logitechs sounded very descent but I must say that I am blown away with the quality of these. The sound is outstanding when connected to my PC desktop through 5.1 analog and Mac laptop through digital optical. My only complaint was that it was a bit of a pain mounting the rears on my existing speaker mounts. They way they mount seems to be a very unique way and it seems companies like Sanus had to make special stands to work with these. Nevertheless, I was able to make my solution of mounting them on my stands and now they work fine. For the price you can't beat the sound for a PC surround sound system.
