Topic: Logitech Z-5500 vs. ANY HTIB (priced 15k and below)

[joelsoldao]

Absolutely!

[gorki0918]

what i did kasi meron akong a year old na LG HT554tm i just purchased a new mirage s8 sub and its working very good.

[sp0urt1er]

may tanong ako sa inyo mga owners at sa mga naka-try na nitong setup ko(kung sakali)

magre-revise ako ng kwarto next week, plano ko sana bumili ng 16 gauge na cable para sa rear speakers ng 5500, pero magiging magkaiba sila ng haba isama na natin sa setup ang teknik kung saan ko padadaanin ang cables para neat tingnan. so sa madalit sabi, ang mga cables ay magkakaroon ng magkakaibang haba.

sa rear speaker 16 gauge, sa front speakers stock na 18 gauge ng 5500.

ganito sana ang mangyayari:


ano sa palagay nyo, magkaroon ba ng degradation alin man sa rear speakers  ko dahil magiging magkaiba ang haba ng cable?

rear left may sound small, rear right may sound normal, ito ngayon ang tanong sa aking isipan.

salamat sa makapagbibigay ng input.

hello guys, bago lang ako dito. meron na rin akong z5500. malakas talaga, ang draw back lang, hindi ganon ka clear ung sounds, logitech d naman sila kilala sa speakers talaga. mas malayong masmaganda sounds ng altec lansing, pero sa price na 14700, ok na sya. im into hd movies and ps3 ngayon. so plano ko lang palitan ung center speaker nya. 60% kasi ng mga movies sa center gumagana. sana maging ok na sounds nya. im planing to buy klipsch c2. mga masters ano masasabi nyo sa plano ko.

[bumblebee]

The z5500 is intended for nearfield listening. If you plan to replace the center speaker, make sure the amp can handle it.

Can anyone recommend me a 5.1 speaker set, kahit na bundled HT system? As long as it has optical-in and 3.5 mm jack-in. I need it for my Xbox 360.

Sayang kasi, we were being offered by Anson's Makati last year a Panasonic HT system to be bundled with our C10 purchase for only an additional 7.5K Php. Di pa namin kinagat cause I thought I wouldn't need the DVD player. The HT system they were offering had optical-in. Unfortunately, I didn't know it would be too difficult finding 5.1 speakers with a decoder + optical-in for under 20K. My only choice was the Z5500 and it's too common.

BTW, I'm taking a look at Samsung's HT-C453 @ 16K. It's priced about as much as the Z-5500 and it's also got DTS. Best of it, it has tower speakers which is a big plus in the looks department.

Here's the link to the Samsung HT system: http://www.samsung.com/ph/consumer/tv-audio-video/home-theater/home-theater-system/HT-C453/XTC/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification

common lang naman sa tipidpc.com yung z-5500. 
kasi mura at sulit
kung gusto mo ng wala masyadong gumagamit, try onkyo HTS 3300.  23k lang kay SNS kumpleto na 7.1 and hd audio na.

looks good on paper.  ayaw ko lang yung 8" woofer 

[qualitycontrol]

perfect topic.
i was just wondering about this. Z5500 is ancient, mga 4 years ko na pinapangarap na bumaba presyo.
settled for Z5300 kasi yun na next best thing na kaya ng budget.

it sounds good enough for me.... kaso limited ako sa isang analog input so i'm also asking this question for the upgrade path.

Z5500 has been the flagship set for logitech for years now, which means it's that good. downside is, it hasn't been updated to include new features or other improvements (ie, HD audio decoders)

so sulit pa din ba to buy outdated tech at the same price at it was when it came out? or ipon na lang for an entry level onkyo HTIB? o invest in good speakers with cheap receiver muna since speakers tend to outlive the receivers?

thanks!

[CMac]

o invest in good speakers with cheap receiver muna since speakers tend to outlive the receivers?

cheap 2nd hand receivers ang rare sa marketplace natin and not speakers. abundant yung speakers, don't worry.

bantay ka sa marketplace.
1. pinakamahirap makahanap ay receiver with dd and dts decoder na mura. lageng pinagaagawan especially 8k and below.  
2. next mo abangan, good sub. at least 10 inches imo. i've seen a few sold for less than 5k w/c is bang for the buck already.
3. tapos abang ka na speakers front (right & left) and center.
4. top it all off with a cheap 1k+ pair of speakers for the rears. yung mga vintage speakers na parang galing sa mini component systems oks na rin. i'd prefer this than more modern speakers with tiny drivers and selling for 3k or more.

steps 3 and 4 can be replaced with brand new aaudio speakers if you so wish.

good luck bud-dy.

[joelsoldao]

AAudio is the best option for you dude.
