damn that's too balla for my blood man

but my friend works for logitech now and he tells me that he saw one of logitechs $300 speaker system go for $30 open box :rick:

 

how reliable are these? They're $100 cheaper if i buy them factory refurbished.. but its 90 day warranty vs. 5 years..

 

They KICK ASS, no seriously, my friend has them and they just fill the whole dorm's floor with sound. Great quality, best computer speakers I've EVER heard.

 

Buy them new, get a good warranty man.

 

I had the dell ones, awsome for music and games.

 

I have:

ELITE MODDED KLIPSCH. RICE BOY HERE <---

Well... I have a Klipsch Ultra 5.1 setup that I've added other speakers to

Center: Klipsch RCX-4 (Reference Series, about $200)
Front: Klipsch RSX-5 (Yes, RSX; Reference Series, about $250 a pair)
Rear: Klipsch Ultra Stockies
Subwoofer: Klipsch Ultra, Dayton 10" 100w powered (this subwoofer kicks ass and was only $100, I mean KICKS ASS)

It's all spit into the Creative DDTS-100 (it's a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder up to 7.1, also does DTS:NEO6 and Dolby ProLogic II. 3 analog inputs, 4 digital inputs (1 coax, 3 optical)

Let me tell you. It kicks ass. Even before I added the RSX and RCX speakers it kicked ass. I LOVE the way it sounds. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT.

A lot of people talk shit about the Klipsch vs Logitech.

Klipsch Good: Better sound (it's a 2 way design, Logitech is ONE WAY), better clarity.
Klipsch Bad: No digital decoder

Logitech Good: "Boomy" bass (some people like this, I don't, I like tight deep bass)
Logitech Bad: Not as good sound because of the 1 way design, some people report shit breaking off in the subwoofer and it rattles.

 

I like my headphones. Until I get my own house, I can never take advantage of a good audio system h:

 

I bought a set of Logitech Z-680's about a year ago and an Audigy 2ZS. It's nice having a solid set of 5.1 speakers but I need to reorganize everything to stage them right. If I had to do it again, I would probably go with a more midrange quality system unless your a real audio nut.

 

The real problem with the Z-680's, and yes I auditioned them in my home before I made the purchase (good friend had them, paid him $20 to bundle them up and bring them over for a couple of days)

I've tested the following (previously I had Klipsch ProMedia 4.1):

Klipsch Ultra 5.1
Logitech Z-680
Logitech Z-5500 Digital (bought these before the Klipsch and returned them)

Anyways.. The Z-680s bass is too pronounced, I believe the crossover is set at something like 65Hz resulting in more bass coming through. I personally have my Dayton set at 45Hz and the Ultras come stock at 45Hz.

I mean, if you like car audio bass boom shit, then the Z-680 or Z-5500 is for you, but was just too much bass. (Yes, I have two subwoofers, but that's to spread the bass around my room)

Plus, I'd rather say that I'm rocking 3 subwoofers (dual 8" in the Klipsch, 1 10" in the Dayton) than one

Anyways. The Klipsch have much better midrange and highs, they make MP3s sound like shit, in a good way. It made me convert to lossless OGG and I've never looked back.

I admit, I am somewhat of an audiophile, but only in a "budget" way. I found it more cost effective to buy the Ultra's (then upgrade, and sell the stock satellites) and the Dayton than to buy a real home theater system with a receiver. The DDTS-100 doesn't do a whole lot, but what every HT needs (decoding of all possible digital formats, upmixing stereo/analog to NEO6, 7.1 compatability, etc it does exceedenly well.)
