THought I'd let you guys know I had an email today with this price on, a google search should help anyone find it if they are interested

Great price. Very tempted. Can I justify it? Probably not

Mine arrived yesterday:

I think this review does them justice:

One of these is when a child is born, the other is when you plug in your Logitech Z-5500 speakers and listen to them for the first time!

Ive had them for over 4 years now and still wouldnt consider replacing them with anything else. I would suggest getting some spare fuses for them however.

They solved the fuse issue years ago.

I have the second gen ones and my fuses still go every 6 months. Must have a defect. Its a defect I can live with though

I've got two sets, one in my room and using the other as part of the home cinema. Can't fault it at all, it's incredible that Logitech can make a unit of this quality. Hope they serve me well for years to come

I've had mine for about 4 years. Got the control pod replaced right at the end of their 1 year warranty as the set kept blowing fuses and I've had zero problems since. My backlight dimmed to about 2/3 brightness 2 years ago (I thing part of the led array died) but that's actually a good thing imo and it's never gotten any worse.

Interesting that it was the control pod causing the issues rather than the amp circuitry in the sub.

Had mine around 4 years aswell, cant believe logitech are still knocking these out at more than I payed and they havent changed them at all.

A worthwhile purchase but I quite fancy a new soundcard as im sure my X-Fi is on its way out (bought at the same time).

I paid £165 for mine originally from OcUK!

Are they still £200 or have they gone up to £299?

I've googled them and can't find it.

seems to be over now. Keep an eye on HUKD just in case another sale pops up!

sHo0sH · 10 May 2011 at 12:19

The place that had them for that price is back to £299

190 from OcUK 3 years ago here.

Think they are dreadful for any 'crowded' music such as heavy metal but sound decent for electronic/trance stuff. Much prefer using headphones since I listen to the former mostly.

Great for games, watching TV and films though.

I've had my set a few years or so now which I got from OcUK when the price was quite a bit lower,to this day I am still amazed at times just how good the sound quality and bass response is ... they are worth £200 without a doubt ..!
