Look at all the Klipsh owners coming in to bad mouth the Z560s. Obviously they feel threatened or were questioning their overpriced systems.

Both speakers are excellent. I believe Logitech has some quality control issues, but otherwise, they are excellent.

I think the Klipsh people are the ones who need to question their methods, paying up to ($650+ CDN) for a pair of speakers with PLASTIC cabs? Come on.
Anyone with a real appreciation for sound would get a component system with wooden cabs are even make their own.

The Z560s are justifyable because of their price, and power. Considering their sound is on par with the Promedias, the Klipsh's are not.

CHASEM, my first Z-560 also blew its fuse. But then I bought it from dell.com and I request for RMA. But then I forgot to send the defect unit back to dell.com
So I have 2 Z-560s, one working and one defective. I have been trying to make a 6.1 set up for a while. But I cant seem to find anyone who can teach me that.
BTW, the fuse is on the sub-woofer so, when i said defective, I mean the sub is not working. The satellite should work fine.

So, is there anyone out there who can tell me how to make a 6.1 set up with Hercules GTXP ?

I push min HARD and I have not had a problem. I think that I would have been crazy to spend twice as much on the Klipsch.

Unless there is an additional internal fuse, the external one is between the remote control cable and power cable. It's a 4 amp 250 volt, slow burn fuse.

Stick a flat-head screwdriver into the slot apply a little pressure and twist. It'll release and slide straight out.

Not all of the Z560s have the fuse on the outside. Sounds like youre one of the unlucky ones. Send it in. Dont void your by trying to open the box, because a simple fuse switch just didnt fix it for me.

I dont think anyone can tell a thing from that picture.

Its pretty simple dude. Find the fuse. If its blown, replace it.

Youre obviously not a technician. If you havent found it by now, stop looking before you electrocute yourself.

If its a circuit breaker (which I doubt), just flip the switch. I have one of the sets where there's a little box that pops out that contains the fuse You dont, and thats why youre getting confused.

Its likely near the power cable. Its a small glass tube, with metal ends.
