Looking for hi wattage sub in a 5.1 speaker set?

Scratcher2

I am looking to upgrade my current pc speaker setup, an old 5.1 with a 17 watt sub (saddening I know) for something with better sound and better bass. so far I have been looking at the Z623 from logitech
http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/devices/speaker-system-z623

but this is only 2.1, and I really want 5.1 for gaming and for mixing songs.
Anyone know of a sub 300 dollar 5.1 setup with a good sub?

Answer
The Logitech Surround Sound Speakers Z506 comes in at $99.99, my friend.

I'm afraid I've never used this speaker system so I can't comment on just how good it is. The second link below, however, offers reviews from people that have used it.

Which is better for me the Logitech Z623 or the Z523?

-I don't plan on listening to anything past 50%.
-I want to have the clearest sound.
-I want good deep and clear bass.
-I will mainly use it on my PC to watch media and maybe gaming.
-I am only going to use it in my small bedroom.
-Price really doesn't matter.

Answer
- Is there a neither option? Just to answer your question, the 2.1 Z623 is much better than the 2.1 Z523, but they both have their flaws.
- Logitech speakers are overpriced garbage.
- Example: The Logitech Z906 is their best 5.1 system, but it does not even do HD audio and is overpriced (some people even prefer their old discontinued version better) = Your better of getting a proper surround sound system that consists of a receiver and passive speakers.
- Example: The Logitech 5.1 Z506 is a total waste of money. The Logitech 2.1 Z523 is a total waste of money and any 2.1 system lower then that is a total waste of money. = They call these kiddy toys.
- Example: Every Logitech speaker system has something wrong/flaws with it, just read the reviews and you will get what I mean.
= I hope you can find better active speakers than the Logitech Z623. I got a tip at least tho, you want to wait until black friday so everything is cheap if you live in the US.

i'd plug them directly into my computer but the speakers can't get power without the woofer being on.

i turn it as low as possible but its still pretty loud. can open up the back and cut a wire or something?



back

Answer
You should be able to open the box up and snip the wire that goes from the power box in the woofer box to the actual woofer. DO NOT cut any of the wires going to or from the power box that aren't connected to the woofer.

Question on speakers and subwoofer?

I'm looking for a good quality speaker and subwoofer set. In the price range of $50-$175 doesn't have to be top of the line stuff but i do want it to be loud and clear. Any ideas or any ideas on good sub-woofers at least?
Apologies, I'm looking for something that i can hook my ipod and laptop to. If it can't do both then just my ipod.

Answer
Hello,

You didn't say what your application is.....home stereo, PC, bedroom, etc.

You probably won't find a very good non-amplified subwoofer/speaker system for a home theatre for under $200, but there are a number of amplified designs marketed as computer speakers which could probably do a fine job, provided your room isn't too large.

These models have received high reviews on the web and probably represent some of the best of what is in your price range:

Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX
Logitech Z623 THX
Logitech X-540 5.1
Harman Kardon SoundSticks III

The Klipsch probably play the cleanest and loudest, and the HK's would probably work best for more up close listening next to your PC. You can read reviews for these on Amazon.com

Hope that helps.
