Logitech Z-5500 Digital Soundroom

Hmmm... Ok.

One more:

Can the satellites be mounted using screws?

yeah, actually. they have holes in them, and the stands rotate for wall mounting.
 
Great.

If the fella replies, i'll try get them for £130 posted.
 
Mussels my HDMI convertor box from Deal Extreme shows up any day now...stoked to get the Z5500's on the new TV! Thanks again for the advice and help (and hopefully I won't need any more! ;))
 
Added Wrigleyvillain!
 
Yeah just hooked them to my TV with a TOSLINK cable...awesome. Especially considering I haven't been able to use them lately for gaming or music due to the damn people upstairs. Stupid apartment living. To be fair, it is a lot of bass. But for movies and TV? Tough beans.
 
Hey i just tried to plug in my iPod via a mini stereo plug cable for the first time and I was only getting output from one speaker. The setting on the pod didn't matter; even screwed with the 6 Channel Direct and Stereo 1/3 switch in back. Anyone know what the deal is? Thanks.

bad cable, most likely.

that or one of your speakers is unplugged.
 
Ok. Yeah also have optical in from the TV and could switch over to that and all speakers were working at this same time.
 
Okay so Im moving house soon guys, Which means my z5500 speakers will be on a 46" LCD television. So I need a new set of speakers for my room. And im looking at a small 2.1 set like Logitech x230's.

Problem is, Ive gotten used to having a speaker set with multiple inputs and awesome sound. Does anyone know of a 2.0 or 2.1 set that has multiple inputs AND decent quality?

(I was thinking about the logitech z10's but you cant buy them anymore)
 
Z-2300s dont have multiple inputs :(


its 1 green 3.5mm cable. afaik..... i think it might have headphone out as well.....
 
Really? I thought it had Optical and Coaxial too...

Sorry, i guess :(
 
The Z-2300's are being discontinued. After having mine for just over a year and a half, the left channel is slowly dying. Googled it and it's a common problem.

Their replacement is the Z623s.



I'm RMAing my Z-2300s and Logitech was nice enough to pay for return shipping, but they are literally out of Z-2300s at Logitech, and they offered me a set of these. Not a fan of the look, but I don't really have a choice. I'll post impressions of them on here.

They have a 3.5mm jack as well as a left and right RCA input, so they might suit your needs.
 
lol, they look like crap imo :D


but there prolly decent.
 
I think they look like shit too. They took a very sophisticated looking speaker system (Z-2300s) and made it look like generic plasticy molded bullshit. I don't think I have another option, though.

I was going to resell them and try out a Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system, but after googling around with those, it seems the connector they use constantly breaks/fails and they aren't good about replacing them. I may just have to live with the little shit drop speakers.
 
Ahhh I want these Z-5500 speakers so bad:cry:....hmmm maybe a Black Friday sell on them this year?;):laugh:
 
Z-5500s are a VERY nice system :D have had mine for a full 12 months now and there still PERFECT.... except for the broken LEDs in the control pod.


very loud and decent sounding. cant go wrong with 5500s
 
Had mine for a year and there is no damage whatsoever.
 
I've had mine for over three years, moved them probably 1000mi in my car over those 3 years and I haven't had a single problem with them. I don't even think I've changed the batteries in the remote!
 
you wont find any 2.1 or 2.0 sets with multiple inputs, because the whole purpose to the multiple inputs is for digital audio - 5.1 surround sound.


morpha: why not just pack up the rear and center, and use them as a 2.0 set?

As I mentioned before, its going on the TV so I need another set for my computer.
You can't officialy get logtiech z-10's in AUS, but I found a few australian sellers who's either importing or has old stock for $85. So ill probably get those.
It has two inputs that are mixed together, If I need multiple I will just have to use an audio switch.

Still if anyone knows of some other companies who have some nice sets, I wont be buying these for 2-3 more weeks, so im up for suggestions.
 
Right, need some quick help and this seems like the right place :)

Looking at some 5.1's (Logitech Z680's i can get cheap) but im not sure about setup in my awkward shaped room. This is my ideas and layout:

Untitled.jpg


Gaps are doorways.
Black is walls.
Red is my desk and cupboard.
Purple is my monitor.
Green is my bed.
Violet is the speakers.

Now, i watch movies from my bed and play music and games sat at my desk, so that's why im thinking option A. What do you guys think?
 
A seems best if you want to watch movies from your bed.

You could always just most the satellites from B->A when watching movies if you really prefer B though.
 
I plan on roof-mounting them, so movement won't be so easy :)

I'm thinking A too, better all round.

Just waiting on a reply from the seller :D
