Logitech has recently launched its Speaker brand in India. Yet they are still not able to catch up with Creative since their products are very expensive. The Z-5500 Speaker system is one of the high end 5.1 channel home theaters launched by Logitech. It features a 10 inch subwoofer, yes a 10 inch, active subwoofer generating 188 watts RMS! and the overall system generates more than 500 watts RMS!. Compare this with a Creative inspire 5.1 channel system, which generates only 40 watts RMS!. The satellites are not bad either.
Logitech has included 3 inch polished aluminum drivers on all of its satellites. A good thing here is that all the satellites can be wall mounted. All of the speakers need to be connected to a Control unit which is called a "Digital SoundTouch control" centre. This unit gives you the option to connect various other devices such as your I-POD, DVD player etc. The unit also lets you use Optical inputs. A wireless remote is also included. Overall the unit is great, except sometimes you may feel the Bass is a little too high. Pricing is also on the higher side, nearly 3-4 times more expensive compared to a Creative Inspire 5.1 system. Overall a great system! must buy for an ardent home theater guy.
