Logitech Z5500 vs Klipsch Ultra 5.1

[anomaly]

Which do you suggest? They will be fed signal from a M-Audio Revolution 7.1. I would like to be able to hook it up directly to my DVD player, but it's not needed. I listen to mainly rock and play FPS. I consider myself a SQL person.

i went with the Klipsch 5.1 myself...very strong, crisp, nice sub. I don't know how the 5500's sound so its not a fair comparision. I did however get them from Dell with coupons at a total cost of $223. That was the deciding factor.


Good Luck!!

I got in on the same deal. Buying for retail price is lil high, but it would still be worth it. Klipsch without a doubt

Tack another vote on for Klipsch 🙂

sorry to hijack this thread but since it seems that the overall vote is for the klipsh. How about the Creative Labs Gigaworks s700 5.1 and the Klipsch Ultra 5.1 😀

Probably the Klipsch, their Reference series theater speakers are unbelievable. I don't mean to hijack but since a few speaker aficionados seem to be present, I want to know whether to get the Z-5500's for Xbox or a Logitech Z-5300e. I don't care much for fidelity but much rather for 5.1 positioning. Does the Z-5500 beat the Z-5300e hands down or can the Z-5300e still compete with "matrix" upmixing? I could use the 120 some dollars savings if the Z-5300e offers decent positioning.

logitech is good for low-highish end, but if u want the really good stuff and have the $$, get kilpsch by all means!!!

creative has good design and build on some models, but the sound reproduction cant match the rest

Klipsch speakers and customer service is superb.
