are the z 5500 best for buck or is there somethin better? They will be used for music, games and movies.

also is there a way around the fuse blowing on the z 5500's?

Not really that I know of. Logitech are really quick with sending you a new one, though. I'm using one that I got from a well-known electronics retailer at the moment though, and have been for months.

Just avoid the Creative 550w (wireless rear speakers) I had to return three sets to Creative with the same fault and then exchanged the last faulty set for a set of Logitech z-5500 which (at the mo) are flawless.
Also the transmitter with the Creative set interferred with my wireless router and I kept loosing my internet connection.
