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 got a nice big sub and 5 speakers for 90 bucks canadian and i can hear it from outside and my comp is upstairs, so i figure it doesnt matter which oen you chooise its gonna be loud and clear.
the logitech one is similar to mine
 
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.
 
I would go with the logitech, I have the x-530 and they are pretty sweet, logitech seems to make some pretty good speakers for the price.:D

is that good or bad?????
 
You don't here any dialogue through the sub. I'd like to know where that notion comes from. A good sub has a decent crossover point in it, or at the very least a coil, so that the higher frequencies are filtered out. I have an 8" sub in both of my kits and they pound. No voice in them at all.


Here's a couple of reviews for you:

That one sounds like some college kid wrote it. All he could talk about was how loud it was. Oh well.. Check it out anyways.

For the Logitech. I completely trust these guys.

One more. You'll have to pardon the last one. They seem to be more interested in pimping advertisements and their PPC programs than they are a readable layout and a good quality review, but hopefully it will give you an idea.

Both of these systems have 6.5" drivers in their subs. To compensate for the 3" satellite drivers, the sub has to be crossed at no less than 125hz. Me and you both know multimedia systems are terrible.
 
Yes, I do. But I also know that vocals sit in the 300-3500Hz range. Usually they start at about 500 Hz and they are reduced as opposed to accented to give the vocal more body and presence.

I can tell you that although I don't like these Logitechs at high volumes (they make my ears hurt), they are more than capable of shaking things off the walls and sound quite reasonable at lower volumes.

You're right. Now find tech specs measuring the Z-5300e's INDIVIDUAL frequency ranges (sub range and satellite range)
 
I can't find the specs of the sub (apart from 100W RMS. Yay), but I don't know of a decent sub out there cut off over 125 Hz or so. Of course it isn't a brick wall, the cutoff point does roll off, but that doesn't give the effect you describe. Perhaps some frequencies might escape through, but nothing to be worried about.
 
the logitech look like the best one out of the two.

i saw the same model at Sam's club for a $100. the ones on newegg are $115 plus $25 shipping.
