Pros: Packaging was very well done. 25 Ft of wire for each rear sat, and 15 Ft for each front L/R/C. Plenty for most needs. I set this up in the same room and config as my Onkyo HT-S760(6.1 750 Watt HTIB) to compare side by side so here's my rating of this system: Treble(satelites): Awesome 9/10, only highest highs might be a little muddy, but sounded nearly as good as my Onkyo Medium tones: Great, 8/10, some lower mid tones come through the sub but still has the presence of full sound spectrum (required for THX certification). Bass(subwoofer): Awesome 10/10, just as good as my Onkyo, if not better, and has more watts Movies: 9/10, Decodes DTS and DD through Coax or optical inputs (I tried with LOTR:return of king DTS and Star Wars II Dolby) Music: Great 8/10, may sound a little hollow to some ears, great bass though.

Cons: At this price, I can't get too picky for a THX system with 500+ RMS watts. This system will hold it's own against most HTIB or PC speakers under eight hundred $$$, especially, S**y, Panason*c, Sams*ng, Phill*ps, and RCA HTIB. The only system I would rather have under one thousand $$$ is my Onkyo HT-S760 (also see HT-S770 and HT-S780). Avoid B-o-s-e as well (way overpriced for medium sound quality) I also will mention that I chose this over the Kxxxsh 5.1 ultras because of price, and some reliability problems with their Amp (tends to overheat and blow). Also, since it uses normal speaker wire, you can upgrade the satellites for even better sound(not really necessary but leaves your options open) and still keep the subwoofer. Oh, this box is for cons so I better list one: Dongle for Control Center could be longer for placing sub farther away.

Overall Review: I read hundreds of reviews and went to a few stores to compare these in person before making my purchase and decision. Your own listening preference and liking is always most important so listen to the systems you are thinking about and then order from Newegg (best prices on products and shipping!). I also looked at the Logitech Z-5300 which sounded alright, but the bass was too boomy and not as accurately produced and the highs were not as crisp so if you can afford the extra $$$, this system is much more bang for the buck.

Pros: This speaker system is definitely the best buy for its price. To continue i must add that i currently own the z5300 and after reading so many positive reviews i knew that i had to upgrade and get these, and trust me it was a very very good investment. The cheer size of the sub is rediculous not forgetting to mention the thunderous bass that shakes my entire dorm room. My 5300 by itself earned me many noice violations, and now that i have these "BAD BOYS," i think that i have given myself a personal ticket to be kicked out of campus housing. Seeing that my dorm is situated next to the R.A.'s I know for a fact that my noice violations are going to double, but that is a risk that i'm willing to take when owning something which such power at the turn of a button. Mp3, dvds, cds and games (you name it) all sounds incredible on these speakers. Overall these speakers are all what they are hyped up to be, even more, so if you have yet to own these speakers, hurry up and buy Them.

Cons: Going deaf before thirty :-) Like if that is really a con if it is caused by listening to music by these rediculously insane speakers.

Overall Review: buy these speakers, they are the best for the price and the sound is absolutely amazing, trust me, you wouldn't regret spending each penny. For the people that are hardcore gamers and really love that window shattering bass when playing their favorite sounds, then this is the speaker system for you so put them on your "must get" list cause you wouldn't regret one penny that was spent(I know i didn't)

Comments: I come from the old days of 400 watt recievers and gigantic speakers, and I can say that this system sounds as good, if not better than anything I have ever heard. I am using these along with a Creative "Blaster X-FI" sound card....it's hard to believe that this sound is coming from my computer. If you are an apartment dweller, you may never be able to realize the full sound these can deliver (without the cops showing up.) A word of warning: the sub-woofer is about 2/3' the weight of the entire package (it's about 45-50 pounds.) DO NOT trust the plastic "lifting straps" that are wrapped around it! -- I did, and one of them broke, and my sub-woofer fell 3 feet to the floor, screwing it up. (insert sad face) 5 stars to Logitech support for understanding and sending me a new set. 5 stars to Newegg for great price, superfast shipping, and even for offering to be a mediary, if Logitech wouldn't co-operate. Get these speakers, and you will NOT be dissapointed.

Pros: This is an update to my previous review. I set this up at my parents house in a large room, 25' X 16' with my dad's HD Projector on a 100" or bigger screen and it didn't disappoint. Even though this room has lots of soft objects (carpet, rugs, furniture, drapes etc) it still filled the whole room with awesome crisp highs, rich mids, and deep bass. The kitchen floor above this room was shaking enough to feel like a small earthquake, probably 3.0 on the Richter scale, J/K but it was enough that my mom knew something extraordinary was going on below her feet. Polar Express, LOTR, and other movies sound awesome on this system, which really draws you in for a fuller theater experience. More and more I am preferring the sound of my home system, this one, and my Onkyo, over the sound produced in local theaters.

Cons: Sub is huge, 3X larger than my previous PC system but still worth the sacrifice of space. Not a con but a note: Keep rear of sub clear of anything that would disrupt airflow around heat sink.

Overall Review: I now have this setup in its permanent location, my room, which is about 11' X 13.5' and even though the sub location isn't ideal (middle of a wall between 2 doors), it still fills the room with awesome sound. Corner loading the sub always helps, especially in large rooms like the one described above. Bottom Line: Whether your room is a cell dorm 8' ft X 8' ft or a large 25 ft X 16 ft Home Theater room with a massive front projection screen, this system should satisfy your needs going forward for many years without the need to upgrade. Note: A large 25'X16' room requires volume to be almost all the way up or even into the boost mode depending on the source but it still got loud enough for some viewers to complain and was still crystal clear and distortion free.

Pros: I have only had to opportunity to use this system with direct input (mini-jack) as im am using it on a laptop but, even with the stereo wiring the dolby digital encoding makes the difference. The desktop control box has many features, and the option to switch between inputs without having to change wires is a very nice feature.

Cons: I have to turn down the sub when i use this as an alarm clock so i dont wake up neighbors.

Overall Review: First day i had it i had a neighbor come into my room (college dorms) and say: "ohh thats you, i thought it was the train going by....my bed was shaking" lets just say i was very pleased with the performence

Pros: I bought these in 2007 and couldn't be happier. No degredation of sound, speaker surround still perfect. I've got these hooked up to my computer, with Stereo X2 permanently set. I primarily use them for music, which they excel at.

Cons: Outdated surround sound (you won't be using them with your current surround receiver and BD player).

Overall Review: What the heck is with the astronomical price??? These were discontinued when the Z-906's hit the market. Logitech had to do some fancy footwork when the control pods started breaking. Exchanges were made with the newer product (which supports current surround sound- I have those hooked up in the living room) Look for a used set, if you can pry them out of their cold, dead hands.

Pros: Great sound, highly adaptable. I run on 2.1 with L and R averaged to center and copied to the rear most of the time, but switch on the fly to music mode and 5.1 on the DVD player. I've hooked this system up in my last six apartments, twice with a rear projector. Never had any problems with any of the system, though the chrome is wearing off the control nob. Affixed the speakers to custom shelves to aim to the center of the room. After 10 years of running this every day it is just like new. Sound quality is fine enough to highlight whispers or shake dust of the ceiling fan. Loud enough to get the cops called at max. Only once did I run it at maximum for an extended period of time, and the sub tripped the thermal protection shut off. Reset ten minutes later and runs like a top. Would highly recommend

Cons: Cable management in the rear is difficult, but only during setup.

Overall Review: Volume at 30% is loud enough to hear over the vacuum anywhere in the house

Pros: Excellent sound quality. SPDIF Optical and Coax.

Cons: There are several I have encountered: 1. When digital audio changes between stereo and Dolby, sometimes the receiver messes up - not displaying the type of sound right, or initializing the speakers wrong. Turning it off and back on fixes this. This is very much a problem with TV tuners, which switch between stereo and Dolby at the commercials. 2. Headphones don't work with digital inputs, only with direct (analog). Seems a rather big design lapse to me. 3. Aux input is only used with analog sound; this means when using digital inputs you can't merge an external sound source with the digital sound (such as 2 different computers). You also can't merge the direct (analog) inputs with the digital inputs. 4. It takes a second for the change of digital sound encoding to process, including "no data" to "stereo" - this means that unless you computer constantly streams data, you'll miss "dings" and such with digital audio.

Overall Review: Note for those who are looking for surround sound for games with digital audio: digital audio only encodes stereo or Dolby surround data; the Dolby surround data is generated by movies/tv and not by games. You will need the direct (analog) cables for games to get surround sound. There is a 6-channel direct encoding for digital, but 99% of computers don't support it, and I don't think these speakers do either.
