Logitech Z-5500 or Creative GigaWorks 7.1 S750 + Mounting on walls

I am swaying towards the Z5500's as they seem to be of a much better build quality but are they a better set of speakers?

Will be using for Games and Music with a X-Fi Fatal1ty PRO.

Do the Z5500's mount well on walls with the supplied brackets? Ive read they cannot be tilted when wall mounted?

Also, how much cable is given for the sats?

Many Thanks.

Gimp.

they are old now and there is supposed to be new range due around Xmas time (no idea where they are).

Anything to back this up?

I swaying towards a 7.1 setup BUT the Z5500 are technically superior so if a refresh of the Gigaworks is on the cards, that may sway me.

I'll contact Creative and see what they say.. likely get fobbed off but you never know.

I have a large ish room so would prefer 7.1 to fill it.

Good question though as I am thinking of upgrading to the Fatal1ty.

Can you switch off the decoder on the Z5500 and use it simply as a pass-thru?
