Wow, I couldn't imagine getting either. A subwoofer with a 6.5" driver means that if you were to turn off all the satellites while watching a movie, you'd still be able to follow most of the movie's dialogue through the sub.

umm. thats insane. im fine with my $50 ones, but whichever you get make sure your sound card is very good. theres no point in having high quality speakers if the sound card makes the sound muffled or blurry.

I would go with the logitech z-5300e. They are very nice. Sub can be heavy at times even when turned down but that is fine if you have a nice sound card. I have them and I love them.

That's because the sub covers the majority of frequencies.

Though I can mess with things being my X-Fi Extreme music. With that it sounds very very wonderful.

Looking at the price difference, I would say go with the Logitechs.

I just meant with the sub thing that's all. Bass and Treble dials. With those the sub doesn't "overpower" as much.
