Will the z-680 speaker system be comming bak on OC?

Phil2008 · 15 Apr 2006 at 11:00

Any ideas Gibbo?

Phil2008 · 15 Apr 2006 at 11:41

Yeh but sub is way to big, and ppl say the sound quality isnt much diff between them

Phil2008 · 15 Apr 2006 at 18:12

appantly the hiss is cos of the control pod, and logitech brought out a new version of the control pod that dont make the system hiss. If any of you guys has a hissing 680 speakers, just ring logitech up, and they will send you the updated control pod.

Someone might be selling there z680 system to me. He said £100 or make me a offer. Is £80 a decent offer?

Phil2008 · 15 Apr 2006 at 22:16

Ive just seen that at amazon. the guy replied saying £90, so I might aswell go for a new one from amazon with free p&p

.. But I better buy it next week,, cos soon they will be non existence

Phil2008 · 15 Apr 2006 at 23:04

Well OC shouldnt of taken them off, I was gonna buy them from OC, but OC forced me to look elsewhere.

Phil2008 · 16 Apr 2006 at 17:06

Ring logitech up...or try using digital connection, cos for some ppl that solves the hissing

Phil2008 · 17 Apr 2006 at 23:46

Just ordered my z-680 speakers

Phil2008 · 18 Apr 2006 at 12:33

Phil2008 · 18 Apr 2006 at 23:41

Items dispatching soon:
Delivery estimate: 25 April 2006 - 27 April 2006

I really hope I dont have to wait that long :mad:

. But untill this afternoon it has been saying "Items not dispatch" or something like that

Phil2008 · 19 Apr 2006 at 11:03

Checked it this morning and it now says "Items dispatched on 19 April 2006", So I may get the speakers tomorrow. What do you think guys?

Phil2008 · 21 Apr 2006 at 15:15

On the tracking thing, it says "Out for delivery" 08.36.... But still havent arrived yet. :mad:

Phil2008 · 21 Apr 2006 at 18:38

Phil2008 · 21 Apr 2006 at 18:44

When I finally get the speakers, Im thinking about getting good quality wire. What wire do you guys recommend I should get??

Phil2008 · 21 Apr 2006 at 19:49

Phil2008 · 21 Apr 2006 at 23:50

thanks... Its much longer(front to back) then I thought it was, Iwill need to pull my desk out abit so I wont be kicking it with me feet, Im so glad I didnt order the 5500, I Think the sub box/amp is about 2inches bigger then the 680. Its such a shamme logitech has stopped making the 680, cos the 5500 sub would just be too big for some people. Thats my only reason for going for the 680. Plus you cant have the 5500 close to your pc.

Will the z680 be ok close to my pc, cos the pc is under the desk too?

Phil2008 · 23 Apr 2006 at 20:16

I will probably change my wire in a few months aswel, so I’m getting the best possible quality from them, I also just bought a HDA X-Mystique 7.1 Gold sound card, so I can use the optical option with the 680s.

Here a review of the speakers I have at the moment.

Pretty crap hey, but the sound quality is really good until you crank up the volume then the sub sounds empty and hollow, if that makes sense.

I’ve worked out that the 680s will go 12 times louder then these. I really doubt I will ever have them on full volume, cos that would be insane and my cuckoo clock will probably fall off the wall. But sound quality is more important to me then how loud it will go. Plus you wont do them much good at high volume.

Phil2008 · 23 Apr 2006 at 21:13

Im tring not to use analog at all, thats my main reason for the "HDA X-Mystique 7.1 Gold" cos it has Dolby Digital Live, so all speaker channels work with games or music, when you use digital connection.. So hopefully my analog days are gone. Or thats the idea anyway :confused:

Phil2008 · 24 Apr 2006 at 21:20

they still havent come yet,, dhl express cannot find my house. Never had any trouble with other deliveries :confused:
