Which makes no sense, IMO. The z5500, while a nice piece of PC paraphernalia, cannot compete with an equivalent amp-and-speakers setup costing the same. The amp and speakers can be upgraded in pieces and will have more capabilities and connectivity options.

Is the Logitec Z550 better than a home theater system of the same price?

... The amp and speakers can be upgraded in pieces and will have more capabilities and connectivity options.

Yep, with some systems you need to do it, with others not.

Bare in mind that the Logitec system is optimised for PC use. All-in-one home theatre systems are optimised for DVD/CD, I am in the market soon for a better audio solution myself. And the Z550's are very tempting, especially at the Frontosa price... but what I keep asking myself is spending roughly 4k now on them going to work for me in the long run, or would forking out the extra money and going to route to build my own component system be better. Every logical answer is yes... but quick fixes are soooo tempting

Add to the equation that the Z550's pack awesome sound.... it is tough.

So when I finally do decide... yeah hehe

How was that for an incredibly informative post?

Yeah it's awesome, but it will never rival a proper component system. Not even an entry level one.

But I must say I do believe the Z550's are good enough. If you have them and are happy with them, you'll be hard pressed to want to ditch them. Depends on how much of a audiophile you are I guess.

I got the Z550 and its awesome
