Logitech Z-640 5.1 Speakers

Buying.

Well I had been looking at getting some new speakers. I wanted a good system like a 5.1 or 6.1 set (5.1 means 5 speakers and a subwoofer 6.1 means 6 speakers and a subwoofer.) So I started searching through my favorite computer site Newegg.com and in the speaker search options I put 5.1 black and what popped up? A $55 set of Logitech Z 640s. They looked nice especially with a nice blue led for power and not a yellow or green no I wouldn't need to change that. And for surround sound they were cheap. So I went to Sam's seeing if they had them cheaper because a while ago I saw them their on display but not for sale. I found them after awhile and they were $60 bucks. So I bought them.

First impression.

Its like chrismas in a box. EVERY speaker has a bag over it then a foam wrapper over the cable and then another bag over the rest of the cable. Took me about an hour just to get all the speakers out of the box and unwrapped. So then I arrange the wires to go behind my desk and so forth then I hooked all the speakers into the subwoofer. And took the three plugs from the center speaker and put them into my computer and booted up.

The First Boot.

What did I hear? NOTHING! I had to go buy a sound card. So the next day I went to Frys and picked up a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 for 20 bucks. Put it in my computer installed drivers. and hooked up my speakers and I went to my first test.

The Test.

Battlefield 1942. I could hear the planes around me in the air and I could hear bombs being dropped around me. I could hear the tank shells hit me. I could hear the explosions of planes with amazing sound! Then I decided to test the sub woofer it took awhile before my parents left so I could crank up the volume but I just did and WOW. Superb sound in the highs the mid range and in the lows.

Winamp.

I decided after the great run in Battlefield 1942 how it would do in winamp. I opened up my winamp and pulled up some of my favorite songs (Smetana - The Moldau, Breaking Benjamin - So Cold, Saosin - Mookies Last Christmas) and played them. I was blow away. I had my feet on the subwoofer and it was like a foot massage. It felt as if I was in the middle of the preformance but without all the screaming fans. Like my own private concert. It was awesome. I had decided. I was in love with my new speakers

In the end.

These speakers were a great upgrade from the crappy $10 ones I had. and for $60 they were a great deal. I say if you have some P.O.S. speakers go out and invest in these. They are awesome.

They have Oompas Seal Of Approval.

I wrote this a while back when I first bought the speakers. I have now had them 5 months and still love them as much as I did when I bought them.
