Well this isn't the latest technology out there but it is one of the few that was cheaper the day they were released then their current price.
First we are looking at the Z2300 from Logitech. This 2.1 system is the best of the best for the price you are paying. They are around R1800 brand new and worth every cent.
The front left and right speaker is 40w (rms) each and the sub is a 8" and an amazing 120w (rms.) The volume controller is connected to the sub and it has a main volume and also a nice smaller controller just for the bass as well as a headphone jack to make it easy for late night gaming.
The quality of the sub is amazing. You can't really believe it's an 8" sub. The quality from the satellite speakers are really good but I have to admit that if you don't have a really good sound card to distribute the audio correct too much base will be send to them and you will notice distortion.
If you have some cash for something more then the usual this is what you need.
Now we will be looking at a 5.1 system. This is the Z5500 from logitech.
This isn't just an computer entertainment system. This is a hardcore 5.1 system with 505w (rms) and it will outplay a lot of the 5.1 home theater systems in the same price range.
The sub is a 10" 188w (rms), the center speaker is 69w (rms) and the 4 satellite speakers is 62w (rms) each.
It has a volume control unit that controls the input, mute, volume and some nice features like stereo, stereo x2, Movie and music settings for better sound quality.
This is the back of the volume control unit:
You can see it has an optical connection, a 3x 3.5mm audio jacks (you get a converter included in the box that goes to RCA) and on the side you have your Audio line in that is also a 3.5mm jack.
The input connections are the only setback on the system. If you have several connections that has to run through your 5.1 system this will be a problem.
The built in decoders gives you excellent quality. It supports:
Dolby Digital,
DTS decoder,
DTS 96/24,
Dolby Pro Logic II
Both the sub and the clarity on this is amazing and this is a must if you have the cash. It will cost you around R3500 new for this unit and make sure your car is big enough for the box.
