not as good as the $37 deal on this baby a while ago... but bump cuz its now ~$40.

 

[dlaw]

OK deal, but I think it is cheaper if you buy from Staples this weekend.

Of course it is not.

If this is 5.1, than it is a lot better than the Z540.

 

[Seizure]

it's the 5.1

I have it right now. got it free from Amazon with my $50 GC. Overall very impressed by it. The only nagging thing is the super bright blue led on the center channel. A bit distracting so I just covered it with a piece of paper to dull the light.

The Sound is great for the price.

got mine from pcuniverse.com for $45 shipped ups AR. got them 5 days after i ordered, dont know about buy.com but when i was going to order from them, it said 1-2 weeks for delivery.

anyone know what's the difference b/t the 640 and 540, omax has the 540 for $40 with no rebate hassles.

 

[Grimace]

i dont know about power differences, maybe check out their website. but the 640 has a center channel, i dont think the 540's do.

Kinda... 4.1 and 5.1 only differ by that center piece which isn't even facing me right now cuz the way they made the stand - its stiff and faces upwards... maybe my soundcard cant handle the 5.1 but... yea, I dont hear a difference from my other cambridge 4.1 speakers.

I just got these speakers. Looks sweet... but sound = nothing exceptional. Something is just wrong with it... my ears are senitive to static noises and there's this unexplainable unclean sound... I saw on some review site they said the grill affects the sound... I think I will take it off this weekend and see if the noise disappears.

Btw, the bass also isnt the greatest thing ever. BUT ITS BETTER THAN THE FREE SPEAKERS I USED TO HAVE!!!

I just bought an Audigy card and am thinking about upgrading my speakers. I currently have the Altec Lansing 495 (or 305, mine came with a Dell system). I usually listen to music and do some occasional gaming - are these speakers good for the price/quality? I definitely don't want to spend a ton of money (I'm no audiophile), but I do want a good entry level 5.1 system.

 

[RayEarth]

does this speaker system support SPDIF output?

definately worth the price if you can get it $40 something.

I just pick up the z540s for 39.99 plus tax at Office Max. I took the last one at the Irvine, CA store.

Try covering it up with a marker on the led to darken... I did this with a set of 540. I used black, but it's bright enough to shine through.

hmmm.... you're bothered by the 'super blue led'? i guess fashion, style and coolness is not your thing huh

 

[az4dan]

lol. No... really its BLINDING blue... not just normal blue. No BSing... u can use it to read a book

... no, not really I'm just kidding. But it really is bright. BTW, in an earlier post I said that there is static / noise... it was because I had line-in on and that was creating the static... the sound is VERY CLEAR now. I'm super happy with it

Oh yea... only problem is the center-piece faces upwards away from ur face when u put it on top of the monitor... you may have to do some fancy bending action... once it faces u turn on the 'matrix' option and u'll feel like you've been sucked into some surround-sound ball. it's very cool.

 

[FuManStan]

unscrew the bottom and turn it around and it will point down.

Your suppose to unsrew the silver bottom and just flip it around. Same goes with your sattelites if you want to mount them on walls.
