Logitech Z5450 'THX Certified' Wireless 5.1 Surrond Sound Speaker System

So they turned up in a mahoosive box !!

I have an Audigy 2 which has an coaxial digital out as well a 3.5 jack connectors for front/rear/sub. So if I use the coaxial digital I don't get any dialogue just seems like the surround info is going over the optical.

I seem to remember this being "normal" behaviour for the Audigy cards, you can't just use the optical out and get all 5 channels.

At the moment I have it setup with 3 3.5 mm jack connectors, the coaxial out isn't much use for the PC and these speakers because if I select "coxial" I only get surround info and no dialogue etc.

Plugged my Xbox 360 into it and it nearly blew be out of my chair ;)

Well these replaced a set of Altec Lansing ADA885 (damn fine speakers in there day) and so far so good, the sub has really got some grunt behind it and I'm pleased by the lack of "hiss" from the rear speakers (which I had read as being a problem). I've got DEC phones and a Pre-N wireless network and I don't get any interefence problems at all, doesn't even go nuts when my mobile rings!!

Now I've got the passthrough sorted both DTS and DD5.1 are correctly identified when fed through the DVD software. Sound staging is pretty good and things "fly by" nicely, nice and punchy and extremely "bright" sound, maybe just a small lack of midrange.

The speaker are black and silver as is the controll box, all looks very nice with my dual Dell 2405's and Logitech DiNovo, obviously the wireless speakers at the back make placement very easy and no trailing wires (I've got two plug sockets at the back of my study).

For £150 inc I think I found a bit of a bargain ;)

obviously only left, centre and right (rears are exactly the same as front l/r but wireless), pleased the centre isn't too big!
