Logitech Z5300e THX 5.1 surround

Post by Giraffe }{unter »

WOW

I replaced my 4.1 with the Z5300e's over the weekend man I cannot believe the difference. The ability to turn up the center channel dialog, without amplifying the rest of the movie is worth the price of the speakers itself. I didn't need to buy a new coffee table either the freakin sub is huge.

Yeah, I wanted to get rid of my big ass 5.1 speaker set and amp, so I sold them and put up my 4.1 set temporarily... I got lazy because it worked fine. If I knew it would have made that much difference I would have nailed these sooner.

1) some second order processing going on there?

2) for as much as you paid for the plasma, i'm surprised you went with this set.

3) i don't see a huge sub?

4) when you say they sounded like $400 Klipsche, i'm assuming you mean the Klispche PC speakers?

Sub channel, Center channel, and fade for front to back is all on the remote, and i DO think it does some of its own processing..

They OWN for the cost, just hard speakers to turn down

The sub IS pretty big, box is um 1 foot square not counting the huge ass amp on the back

Yes the PC speakers

most receivers/processors have this on their remotes. added processing? terrible.

i'm sure they sound good for the price. honestly though, they're too small for that room.

well, he said huge. that's not. i suppose it's big compared to the satellites which are puny.

i've listened to those speakers in a much smaller room, and they do sound good especially for the price.

My current situation, living on the second floor of a 2 family house I really cannot go to nuts with sound. When I purchase my house this winter... that;s when I invest in the Big guns

:icon19: too small for the room. How about before you speak you know what you are talking about. Yes, they are not 800 watts each with a 1500 watt sub, but these fuckers are loud.

There too small for the room..

yet, there PC SPEAKERS

Last time i checked, it really only matters for the person sitting behind the computer.. anything else is a bonus..

and they work GREAT for how he has them set up..

your just pissed because you prolly spent 10X the cost on something that sounds nowhere near as nice and clear..

fucking faggot

I'm thinking of buying these speakers for my computer but problem is, I don't have anything to put the rear speakers on. The room my computer is in is quite large so I can't mount them on a wall or anything. I have nothing to put the speakers on and I don't know how I'm going to hide the speaker wires. Hmm...

hide the wires along the baseboards, you can also get extension wires from radio shack. RCA male to female speaker cables.

I forgot the best part about these is that the Satellites have stands the reverse for wall mounting.

Nice to see that they are quality. Have been wondering about this setup for a while for my PC. Mostly for singleplayer games, but also a bit for movies.
