Logitech Z-5300 5.1 vs Logitech Z560 4.1

kemet64 · Aug 16, 2004, 05:57 AM

Okay, I am looking for speakers to play games, music, and DVDs. Now, I am looking at the Logitech Z560 4.1 and Logitech Z-5300 5.1 speakers. The 5300is about 280 total watts and the z560 is about 400 watts total. Im trying to think on if I should go for the extra wattage or the extra speaker. So far I am leaning towards the 560...the extra wattage...unless you all have a different opinion.

you won't here much difference between the two, as to increase the volume by 3dB you must double the power output… any increase below 3dB is almost negligible - most people can't tell the difference between a sound and one 3dB higher

Well you can have more surround with 5.1. Centre will be use for conversation mostly and the rest can use as surround mainly.
And also it depends where you going to use speakers.. In a big huge place the extra wattage might be good.... but if you use in a room then Z5300 will certainly be suffice

It will be going in a dorm room. So, the Z5300 will do fine then? Is what I am hearing.

Also, if there is anywhere I can find the
Logitech® Z-680 for about $150-170 (cheapest so far is about 220), I would appriciate a link.

Thanks all

Well....I decided to go for the Logitech Z680 5.1. Since I will be using it for gaming, music, and DVDs, thought I should get some nice speakers. Heh. Anyways, Just counting down the days until it arrives.
