enough wattage to rumble my room, enough to satisfy just about anyone
but ya, if you have 300 bucks to spend on speakers sure, z-5500
G51 is clear, has a good punch and is half the price
Personally, I would stick with logitech as far as PC speakers go. |

Have G51 myself, can't really complain as I have to wear my Razor Barracuda's most of the time due to the Mrs  .
But if you want KICK ASS speakers, look in to TEUFEL...if you can get hold of them where you live that is.

+1 for Z-5500. Most powerful, dynamic, feature-rich, hassle-free set of computer speakers ya can find..
And yeah, creative sucks for speakers.. logitech is about the only choice, unless you go way high end, ie $$$$$

if you buy from creative you might as well commit suicide. Worst company to ever support on PC's. I hate them so much. |

My kid brother just bought the z-5500. Pretty good for a mashed up PC speaker set. A little loose in the subwoofer, but hey it's plastic and cheap.
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

I can also sing praises of the Z-5500's.
Especially if it isn't a really large room.

Z-5500 are great for Your typical gaming needs, but they are definetly far from being best computer speakers. If one actualy is looking for a decent quality, not having surround and a little earthquake at home, then all these plastic producing companies are to be avoided.

Haha precisely. You can always custom make wooden wonders for 70,000-100,000$ as well, but that's a little beside the point for PC speakers.
