Logitech - Z906 5.1-Channel Satellite Surround Sound Speaker System (6-Piece) - Black

Being the nerd that I am, I didn't just want a couple good speakers, I wanted true surround sound for my new computer. I had a previous version of this setup from the early 2000s and it ran like a champ for years , but it was time for an upgrade. I'm planning on setting up both my computer and two different game consoles on this screen, so extra digital audio inputs on the speaker set was a must. The setup comes with speaker wire to connect each of the speakers, so it's easy to fish through small spaces. Extra long cords provided for the back speakers. There are six inputs, the green/orange/black combo from most good computers, red/white RCA, a couple digital audio and so forth. It's easy to switch between them from the control box. I adjust the main volume on the control box, and then fiddle with the volume from the volume control on my keyboard. When you adjust the main volume control on the control box, the speakers in use are lit up. It would have been cool to make the colors adjustable on the control box. They're just orange. Not bad, just would have been nice to make them match the color of the keyboard lights. My only complaint is that the control box is light... to light. It can scoot around on the desk. If i were them I would have added a pound of weight inside to keep it in place and help it feel more substantial. Once I get my new computer and monitor all set up I'll probably velcro or command-strip it into place. Also, it looks like they were designed to have black mesh speaker covers, but they're not included. When did they stop making the mesh covers? Aside from that, truly amazing speakers.

This THX sound system is so amazing that I now have three of them in my house!!! Highs, midrange, deep bass and oh that great surround sound is as good as the finest theater sound!

This is a great mid-level system. Good bass and ease of assembly are a plus. Very easy to use.

Overall a good value for the price. Two questions: 1) Why are the 6 Channel direct (PC Sound Card) jacks not marked as to which speaker they serve (Front, Center, Back). and 2) When there are markings on the product showing where the connections are to be made, why do manufacturers simply emboss the markings in the plastic and therefore the same color as the product and nearly impossible to see.

I took the time to research what 5.1 speaker system I wanted for my PC. I considered AVRs, multiple other brands speakers systems. I kept coming back to the Logitech z906. Simple connectivity to my PC was a need for me. A console that’s minimalist, while being able to control my speakers without a bulky box on my desk. There’s plenty of cord length for setting up around a large L-shaped desk. The speakers themselves sound great, and use the common red and black speaker wire so you could easily upgrade to a newer/nicer set if wanted! The subwoofer is amazing, and far exceeded my expectations, but because it’s technically the console where all the speakers wires run from, you probably couldn’t upgrade it, however I see no need to. What can I say. They do everything you would want and expect out of a $300+ speaker system except maybe meet expectations of audiophile level enthusiasts. If you’re looking for that you’re probably better looking at AVR’s. I would 100% recommend to friends and family!
