These speakers are the first 5.1 speaker system i have bought. before, i had a stereo, and i connected to my PC, with PowerDVD and with Trusurround( a 5.1 simulation service with a 2.0 system), there were no complain at all, although i wanted to give it a try with true 5.1 system.
I was checking on Internet for a 5.1 system not too expensive, in fact creative speakers are cheap,but the bad reviews made me change my mind. so i dicided to go on Logitech.
i was about to buy the Logitech Z-640 6 Speaker Surround Sound System, the price is low (40 bucks!), but i checked the logitech web site, and there were new speakers, this speaker were just 10 more bucks than z-640, and the review i saw on: digitalreviews.net
that practically says that this speakers were comparable with the Logitech's higher end models such as the Z-5300 that cost more than 150 bucks, so i bought it.
i have just tested yesterday, connecting with a dvd player, that has dolby digital decode built-in, maybe this kinds of dvd player has no good quality decoding, but the sound i heard yesterday was amazing, especially the subwoofer, it's like the theater sound really.
Although the power is only 70 watts, and with peak of 140, the sound power were outstanding.
I tested with, Return of the king, Das Boot, The impire strikes back, kill bill vol 2, and it's like to see a new complete different movie!.
Imagine how it's gonna sound with my Audigy zs 2(thx certified), that i have just ordered from Amazon.
Update()
Well i have just set up my audigy zs 2 in my pc, and i was blown away, you can clearly notice the direction of the sound, i was watching kill bill vol 1, and for the fisrt time i was listening new sounds, i have never listened with my stereo system before.
and the subwoofer is really unbelievable, you can turn the volume of every speaker off and up, and the subwoofer too.
but in high volumnes the bass loses....
there's also another problem with the sub, it mixes with the front speakers, so when there's voices in the front speakers, you can hear voices comming out from the sub. bad!
After reading the bad reviews for these speakers, i must tell you that these sepakers are what you paid for.for music and games, the sound would be not so good(because of the lack of mid range), but for movies, o my god for 50.00 bucks you never find something similar, every night i watch the lord of the rings (the pallenor fields) in DTS with the audigy zs 2 sound card decoding, you hear voices, sounds(behind you) you'll never listened in an stereo system. it's amazing what you get for only 53 bucks.
There's also a scene in Kill Bill Vol 1 when the bride wakes up after the coma, there's is a mosquito sound that makes you belive you have one behind you, i always show these for demostration of sorround sound to my firends, and i have a good time watching their reactions, amazing.
i gave five stars because of quality - cost. you will never find something similar under 100 bucks.....
if you don' like it, go to buy the Logitech Z-5500 ($300.00).
So what's 250 bucks HE!!!!

This speaker system is designed to handle the audio specturm with high degree of professionalism. The handling of base is very excellent but guys unless u have a dolby 5.1 device or a adapter you wouldnt need all the speakers given. 3 speakers will simply sleep in the box. other than that i highly recommand this piece.
---Update--
I bought a 5.1 Dolby USB adapter to match this device's input requirement. Later I found another catch that the DVD player software which comes along with our laptop can only give a stereo output [Due to some license regards with Dolby systems]so even with this interface only 3 of the 6 speakers are producing sound and to make them [all 6] give 5.1 Dolby sound one needs to upgrade their DVD software. WinDVD 5 is my Sony Vaio's default DVD player software and i have orderd for its upgrade which costs some $12+shipping. So finaly to utilise this device to its full at a COMPUTER one needs to have
1.USB - 5.1 Dolby adapter device
2.DVD software that reproduces 5.1 Dolby [upgrade]
3 Most importantly Movie DVD with 5.1 Dolby sound track or a Player software that can simulate 5.1 dolby from ordinary stereo recordings.
The above will add a price tag $20+$15+Shipping minimum but they are worth the Music effect this device is capable of.
Another Update:
If you cant affort extra USB interface and a software, just use a "Y" male to female 3.5mm stereo adaptor to the green and black male pin and feed 4 speakers and the woofer [Not the center "two-eyed" speaker, its not going to make a difference for this idea]. Believe me by placing alike channel speakers [say "Left"] on your left side of your room/bed and the another channel ["right"] on the right side with the woofer facing you. you would get a good stereo phonic sound reproduction. let the source be a mp3 player or a walkman or your laptop or your movie player.
I bet, you will remember/thank me every time you enjoy the stereo phonic effect. Is the Dolby corporation reading this :P

I just got these new babys today and let me tell you, they are superb. I had some cheap 5.1's before, nothing special, and they got real distorted at mid-high volume. Now these are amazing, Im hearing sounds I never heard before! the mid-high sounds are excellent even at high volume, and the sub is much better than my old one even though it was 6". I can hear it at the other end of the house through 4 walls..downstairs.
The sound qaulity of these are amazing, i looked at a few reviews saying that theyre good, but they blew me away, and went further then what i expected.
So if your on a budget but want great 5.1 sound get these right now..dont even look at the other speakers these are the best in its range. do it!
Good job Logitech! November 25, 2004

Though I've only tried these new speakers with my MP3s, CDs,and DVDs (and looking forward to the first gaming experience), I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Free shipping, a 31% discount of an already reasonable price, and several positive online reviews, all contributed to making my purchase decision an easy one.
The installation required a motherboard documentation check to correctly make the six-channel audio connections on the back of the computer. Otherwise the installation was very straight-forward.
After firing everything up for the first time, the powerful bass, clear mid-range, and sharp highs were immediately evident. Then after reducing the bass volume to about 30%, I was ready for some serious listening.
Logitech, you did good.
Awesome!! February 28, 2006

What else can you expect for under $60. I hooked up these speakers to my Audigy 2ZS and I played Toy Story 2 with DTS and I just stood up there watching(listening ???). It is so crisp and neat. I am really happy with these speakers.
