The TechZone has a review up on the new Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speakers.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better it does. When Logitech introduced the Z-680 speaker system it created one of the best computer sound system ever made. The Z-680 could play anything, sounded amazing and easily earned our Editor's Choice Award. Well Logitech hasn't been resting on their achievement - far from it. Their engineers went back to the drawing board to create the new Z-5500 Digital - Logitech's best speaker system to date.
The Z-5500 Digital is a THX certified speaker system and is targeted at consumers who want the best of the best in sound for their home theater system or PC. With the Z-5500, Logitech creates their most powerful and complete speaker system ever. For DVD nuts, music enthusiasts or hardcore gamers, the Logitech Z-5500 Digital delivers a highly refined and breathtaking 5.1 surround sound experience in the living room, office or home theater. And with 500 watts of power and a 10 inch subwoofer, the Z-5500 Digital is powerful enough to shake the rafters - of the house across the street!
This is a very versatile speaker system, with support for a broad range for formats, including Dolby Digital, DTS and DTS 96/24. Logitech also includes support for up to six inputs and features a new satellite design, a new digital control center and a wireless remote control.

Someone is getting me the Z-680's for Xmas. I would like to have the 5500's, but their $100 more :/

The 6800's are the best value and more than enough IMO. The only problem I can say I have with the 6800's is the control box display is hard to read unless you're looking right at it. The awsome sound helps me forgive this minor inconvenience.

Didnt they change the LCD though when they brought out the new color a while back? Cuz I had seen them a long long time ago, like when they came out, and then I saw them in a store the other day and the LCD seemed different to me.
I cant wait to get them cuz I havent heard a single person complain about them(other than technical problems after a few years, or mfr error out of the box). And I love how it has digital input. Decoding DTS and DD is a bonus, I wanted the 5300's at first til I saw for $61 more I could get the 680's.
How is the bass on them? I like heavy heavy bass.

The base is awsome. I have mine on almost the lowest setting because it's TOO MUCH bass.

Hey now, you can never have TOO much bass 
Although a friend of mine has dual 12" 450w RMS MTX 8500 Subs in his car, and that can be a bit much at times.

edit: i should learn how to spell

Heh, even if I had the money, I wouldn't upgrade. It's not that I don't like those speakers, they are much better than mine, but I just bought some Z-540's on an end of line sale for £30. Good deal, for a 4.1 set.

How much are the 680s? Z-5500?
Posted by: SKYHN
Z-680 are $211 @ Amazon. Z-5500 are about $100 more.
Posted by: Ion Silverbolt
Damn that's a steal for that price. These things sound better than home theatres that sell for over 500$.

Awesome. Okay, I see. They're showing on Amazon right now for $291, and there are 10 available on EBay for $274.99. If anyone is interested:
