Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The X-540 speakers use FDD2 (Frequency Directed Dual Driver) technology to produce a uniform soundfield anywhere in the room. Immerse yourself in the game using the selectable matrix mode, which automatically creates 5.1 surround sound from common 2-channel stereo sources. The compact satellites are wall-mountable, and a special clip lets you place the center channel speaker on top of most flat-panel monitors to reduce desktop clutter. Use the wired control center to control volume and bass levels or connect headphones to enjoy your games and music privately.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful, bargain-priced real surround sound   August 12, 2008
For a truly affordable price, you get a wonderful surround sound system that is great for music, movies, and gaming. Plug your computer, laptop, or even your iPod into it and immerse yourself in a bath of sound. Matrix mode is a great way to get surround sound effect from a stereo output. If you are using a laptop that does not have surround sound output, you can easily purchase a USB external sound card, like I did, and then you will have a real 5.1 setup, but even without it Matrix mode is great at giving the effect of true surround. The subwoofer is great, adding a greater sense of depth to your sound even in music that doesn't have a throbbing bass. It makes even Renaissance lute music sound more realistic, and listening to Bach and Vivaldi through this setup is a blast! You can turn up the bass dial (which is really a volume control for the subwoofer) and not lost the clarity of the sound or the treble. That really impressed me. Oh, and cannon fire sounds (and feels) great, as does a Dodge Viper.

This is a great buy. I almost immediately went out and bought a second set for my brother.



1 out of 5 stars Second damaged shipment from Amazon   August 12, 2008
Logitech X-540 5.1 Speaker System

This is the second time that I'll be sending the X-540 speakers back. The first time, parts were clearly rattling around in the subwoofer. I suspect that the damage occured in transit as the packaging wasn't what you would call robust. The books that Amazon ships are much better protected.

Anyhow, I shipped that set back and requested a replacement set which just arrived. With the same damage to the subwoofer! That indicates to me that the build quality of the subwoofer could be a lot more robust even with the sparse packaging.

I'll shop for a different product, probably from a box store as Amazon haven't mastered shipping these things!



4 out of 5 stars Good quality speakers at an even better price...   August 10, 2008
I got these speakers at an unbelievable price and couldn't be happier. These speakers are awesome with a nice and clear sound. The only thing i have a problem with is sometimes with the Matrix button on, the back speakers spit out a little unclear, but overall im happy with my purchase.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect apartment surround sound   August 9, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I wanted to get a home theater system for my tv for a while now. It was suggested to me to try computer speakers. Well, since I have the Logitech Z-2300 at work (sweet stuff), I wanted to stay with them and get a 5:1 system. After careful research I decided on the X-540. What a deal! When I first plugged them in, I heard sounds on even commercials that I had never heard before. When I was watching a movie that had a thunder storm, I had to look outside because it sounded so real. I used to have to crank my tv sound up to hear it over screaming birds and an a.c. Now I have no problem. I don't have to turn these speakers up too loud and I can hear everything and my neighbors don't complain. Granted, the wires are a little short but that can be fixed with extensions. This is an inexpensive surround sound system.
