MicroLab H600/H500 VS Logitech Z-5500

-Mr.Fridge · Feb 17, 2010, 03:36 PM

Hello fella's.

I have recently bought a Ceative X-Fi and realized that my Logitech X-530 is not enough for it, and makes for quite a shame...

So, I have decided to purchase one of the following:
1. A Logitech Z-5500 Serround system (supporting THX Etc.)
2. A Microlab H-600D / H-500D (They are they same, only rear speakers have a stand in the 600).

The only problem is, I know how good the Z-5500 is, my friend has it and it ROCKS like hell!, but I cannot find any review about the Microlab...

The Microlab has less RMS (about half of the Z-5500, but 505W really is too much for me), it also doesn't have any digital input or so (at least, I couldn't find any evidence of that). But, the Microlab's speakers are significantly larger, wooden, and have 2-way speaker, in comparison to the 1-way speaker of the Logitech...

Microlab is about 620$ and Logitech is about 705$ (In Israel of course...)
Which one should I get? I haven't seen not a single complaint about the Logitech, though I havn't seen not a single review (In English or Hebrew) about the Microlab - just a small youtube movie that doesn't really let you hear them for yourself...

What should I so?!

If you haven't bought yet Microlab, do it - you won't be dissapointed. Also on Z5500 you can listen to noise, not music.

If the store allows you to test them both, you should take an audio cd with various music genres & play it on both. You'll have an ideea on the differences between those two. Though the general noise will be smth you'll have to cope with.
