Not really, CP. It's still about the same.

Not worth it at all, actually. They are extremely overrated, and over priced. They jack the price up on them just because they are classified as a computer speaker. You can get much better sound for the price, as long as you are willing to deal with a little extra space taken up.

ONKYO HT-S3300 Home Theater in a Box

Or if you already have a receiver available:

That Onkyo setup looks good and for the price is fairly grunty to boot

I haven't heard the Onkyo's but I personally like the Z5500's. I'm not upgrading any time soon, it's just a thought I had in mind but thanks for the link. It'll get me pointed in the right direction when I do decide to start looking around.

Wile E · Aug 22, 2010, 09:06 AM

Well, lets be fair here, you probably like the 5500's because you haven't heard things that sound better is all.

Regardless if there is better stuff out there or not, they ARE great speakers, at least to me. Overrated or not it doesn't mean they suck. Have I heard better stuff? Oh yeah, wayyyy better. Do I still like the Z5500's, damn right I do!

I wouldn´t touch a RMA GFX at all since it could void the warranty to remove for example the cooler if there is a sticker that indicates that it has been removed

(FIH) The Don · Aug 22, 2010, 05:54 PM

i have never seen them reject a gfx at rma due to cooler been taken of

i really dont think they can see if it youre carefull and dont mess up the screws

This is not the first time I hear exactly what u said - but my Palit GTX 275 is in RMA now and had a sticker on the cooler that i didnt want to touch before returning it.

Don't worry mate mine doesn't have the sticker on the cooler itself, it's actually on the backside of the PCB

I think they sound like crap. lol I'd pay $150 for them, tops.
