yeah put on the floor d. now need to email the logitech folks to see wat methods can be used to see if the sub is performing to spec.

aih..

i d/l all the techno and heavy rock songs d....to test it out. hahaha.

try this song.. grove armada - superstylin.

Enjoy the sound dude...
Turn on loud...

Boomy ? No way! I'm using this speaker for a week now and i think it's not boomy at all. It really depends on where you place your speaker, the stuffs around it and where you put it. I used to use a Gigaworks S750, good speaker but the amp blew up. So i end up with this speaker instead. Hope it's reliable. I noticed it has auto off system if it overheats (in the manual...). =o

Anyhow, i was using stereo speaker only in between the S750 and this Z-5500. Oh how i missed surround sound in games and movies.

S750 and d best 5.1 multimedia speakers Klipsch PM5.1 Ultra were using the BASH amp which is famous in overheating...

Logitech is famous in burning fuses, so its more reliable(cheaper i'd say) and u can easily swap it wif those slow burns...

Not boomy enough? Well done dude...
U can be super basshead..
The space is really important for bass...except u have many 10" speaker..

oooo...how much is the klipsch pm5.1 ultra? man...i should have waited and din buy my z5500 so fast. keekek.

i think darude - sandstorm is a good song to test ur speakers

Klipsch PM Ultra 5.1 is discontinued unfortunately. Try Armin van Buuren - The Longest Day for bass.

I just bought a Z5500; to add to my long list of audio stuff. i swear i cant seem to stop buying them. even soundproofed a room for my DJ gear but I think these Logitech ones I'll use for my PC in my home office.

paid 1400++ not sure of the exact price cause i bought a heap of stuff but it was between 1470-1490 thereabouts

That is why after very long time consideration. I has been decided to leave all High End pc speaker such 3 top brands:

Logitech Z5500 RM1499 Cons: When do listen music, a lot ppl said its sound crap. I read review from Mat Salleh also said that too

Klipsch PM5.1 RM17xx Cons: No dts decoder. Sound i din know. As u guy say, overheated issue

Gigawork S750 RM1xxx Cons: No dts decoder. As u guy say, overheated issue.

So, I made it for Yamaha RX-V361 (5x100 watt rms) dolby, dts decoder etc and Yamaha NS-P430 (5.1) (Used spk) for total RM900 + RM480 = RM1380 + 50 (Coaxial cable)

Of course, this set no problem for movie booming at all.....and it is expanable in future

z5500 doesnt sound that crap actually...
the clarity is there...but the bass was too much

Mat salleh say bass covered the surround sound. When listen music, if with analog signal, totally crap according one lowyater previous thread, he did test side by side

Of course, i used to listen during pc fair, z5500 can booming so loud even in PISA fair arena But like that also bad ma, sub woofer die fast leh

well, from my experience, listen to music with analog connection is a crap...no doubt about about it...
try using digital coax or optical, sure u'll find another paradise...

this is not enough, play music with "Foobar2000", using "ASIO Output"..
"Noise Sharpening" & "EQ" in the DSP Manager...

this enable u to tune/control the clarity [Noise Sharpening] and the level of the bass [EQ] if the bass is too much....

then use Stereo X2 on the Z5500...

this is my setup, really enjoy it with any kind of music...

Hi everyone,
I have been using Z-680 for 4-5 years now, and this is what i think.
If u use coaxial or optical the sound quality is the same. If u use computer sound card, the bass is not nice in other words boomy.
As for coaxial/optical it is important to see what source u use. I have a 2 dvd player(1 china brand and 1 pioneer 393s) and of course my ps2. For the china brand, the quality is not good and can be heard very clearly especially using music cd compare to the pioneer. But i feel that the ps2 is better compare to the pioneer dvd player. I think this could be the reason why some dvd player or more expensive than others!!! However i think there is no difference in sound quality when it comes to DTS or DD.

Sory, i knw this thread suppose not belongs here. But i hav try to ask in the "where to buy what" topic but still no ppls can help me. U all are expert and Logitech Lover here, i think i might ask for help from u all.

I m not rich enuf to buy those 3 model stated coz my budget is below RM1000 so now i m aiming for Logitech z5300. Now i m staying in Penang, but i really dunno where can i get it. So do any Logitech Fans here knw where can i get it in Penang, Kedah or Ipoh? KL is really too far for me and i also dunno how to drive there.

Wish that u may help me. Thanks alot

Z5300 , i hate this speaker...i jz sold mine after CNY

if u're not looking for disappointment and upgrading,save and go straight for z5500...another additional RM500 will giv u Z5500 + optical cable and satisfaction

Ya, try Z5500, you dont want to regret when you bought the wrong one...
Try something something more better

ya...
you have come this far, [ord save up rm1000]
we know that u hv budget problem, but try to hold it longer,
save up some more until u got enough money to get urself a Z5500..
if u LIKE Z5300 then u sure LOVE Z5500....
sure no regrets...

really funny...Z5500 bass not enough?
U didnt audition properly isit?
If me I will turn on loud...dont angry guys..

based on my personal experience..

u'll like z5300 if u never heard z5500, after u heard(bought) the z5500...compare head to head, u'll hate urself for spending such a money for this **** !

if u really like logitech and other alternatives doesnt attracts u,no reason not going for z5500(and after u bought it dont check Aego's thread, poisoness)
