threadcrap? if you don't like it, don't look

i think they are a good price

I've had mine for (I think) about a year, and they've been great. I'd imagine you can get better sound quality, but I doubt you can get much better for the PC, and in any case... They're hella cheap. I got a brand new set for $130 last year.

 

[funboy6942]

HEHEHE we sold them out!

 

[MMarks2]

I word on these speakers. I have had them since 01-02 when they came out. The first year they were producing them they had a flaw in them. When you play them loud for a few hours, such as a party, or watching a DVD 2-3 hours long ect, the heatsink tends to blow something out in the sub. Without the sub the rest of the speakers will not work. There was a know issue that took the engineers at Logitech about 6 months to fugure out, then another 6 to manufactuer. They did and after returning my speakers 2x I finally got the updated sub....

So hopefully these are not the old ones...but they are under warranty for 1 year from purchase...so you might want to test them out when you get them. They are great speakers and definitely worth the money.

 

[funboy6942]

Back in stock but sell out high.
they are refurbished so hopefully they have been repaired of the problem you have mentioned but also like you said they have a warrenty on them so really no worries. Blast them and see what happends first. They blow (doubtful) or you piss someone off

 

[funboy6942]

Wow that took no time at all Back out of stock

 

[funboy6942]

And back again this time high risk sell out

 

[BadThad]

Actually, I wonder if these are really "refurbs". Just a couple of weeks ago the controller and sub on my son's Z560's went out so I called Logitech. They had me just send in the controller and they sent me a new set of Z5300's as a replacement since the rep told me "we no longer manufacture the Z560's and we don't have any stock of them". I'm thinking everyone has cleared these out and thus Overstock.com got them.

Anyhow, these were so good I used to own TWO SETS of them!

None of the high end Logitechs or Klipsch's kill the other. You may like the Logitech's better but unless you're on their payroll, stop exaggerating

I feel I can say that one kills the other because this is a free country (for the mean time) and I have that right to my opinion. Just as you did making yours saying neither one kills the other and then tried to opress(sp) me like a communist by telling me what to do

right... well anyways. You keep talking about reviews. Klipsch speakers get 9's too. You didn't say "the value of these speakers blows away klipsch", you said the speakers do straight up, and sorry bud but pretty much everyone on the internet disagrees with you, including the website that you linked to. In fact, one of their reviews are titled "Cambridge, Klipsch Vie for Top 5.1 Honors". Yes, Cambridge and Klipsch, not logitech. Get your ears checked.

Yes this is a great deal, but don't sit here and tell lies about speakers that you obviously have no experience with and then call me a communist.

These are amazingly solid speakers. Sure, if by audiophile quality, you mean multi-thousand dollar speakers, driven by multi-thousand dollar amps, these are inferior.


However, if you figure Promedia's are their primary competition, the logi's take the cake (imo as sound is subjective) at every point. I own a set of 680's, and a set of z-2200's (their 2.1 version with same speakers) I'm gonna pick this up for my brother, who doesn't need 5.1.

I think this is the best 4.1 system you'll find at this price, period

If you setup your logi's in a pet/child free enviornment, take the covers off. It will open up the sound a bit further

 

[heh2k]

does anyone know what kind of input this uses? it can't decode spdf, can it? NONE of the sites i googled (including logitech's!) said what inputs it has.

Ok for one thing you come in here nosing aroung telling me basically to shut up. So I wont. As for the comunist thing it was a joke because you were telling me what to do and think get over it. If you took the time to read everything I owned, HELLO OWNED, the promedia 2.1 AND the 5.1's before I got the z560's so I know a little about what I am talking about. 2nd read this part of the review:

The 560 subwoofer is truly amazing, and is really an oddity given the price of the system. I spent about an hour today going between the ProMedia 4.1s and the 560s just to compare the subs. I don't want anyone to think I'm just badmouthing Klipsch, because I really respect and enjoy their products, but the Logitech thumper is simply better. Firstly, the Logitech has much more power. This not only means that it can play more loudly, which it plainly can, but also that it can achieve high levels without straining. I was running Gang Starr through both systems and was amazed at how much the Logitech had to give. When the Klipsch finally farted away the Logitech was running at about 60%. The Klipsch just didn't have the juice to keep up. Of course, overall volume is a pretty crude measuring stick. The 560 sub is also fast and full, with very little artificial flair. It ran through blazing kick patterns, responding to the subtlest variations with ease. The only advantage the Klipsch had was in the upper lows. The Logitech sub seemed to have a slight dip in response in this area. However, the low end as a whole was very, very well represented.

Value
The system competes with rigs that cost $100.00 more. Better yet, it wins. 10.0

In almost every review they say they are on par or slightly better then speakers costing alot more (the only thing close to it is the promedias). Now to each thier own but sir I owned promedia's and I now own the Logitechs and for the price, sound quality, and loudness the Klipsch just cant touch the Z560 speakers. Now I have never owned a set of Logitech Z680's so I cannot say if they were better or not but if I were a betting man I would say yes considering they are the same set up I have + one center channel. Oh and they have a Dolby Digital AND dts decoder that Klipsch just doesnt have. But what I find that is even funnier is you have not even owned a set of Z560 and yet you are making the comparison and telling me to shut up and stop exagerating where as I have owned both and can make a comparison IMO.

Now if Klipsh got a review of 9/10 and Logitech got a review of 9/10 does that not make them acording to all the reviews they are on par with each other so where would I be exagerating?

And to end it. Is your life that dull you need to go into a forum and bitch because you have nothing better to do? Its a fvcking pair of speakers that I gave my opinion to. You are the only one that is throwing a fit and it is funny. If you want to keep going round and round I dont care because you have no proof wether I am right or wrong nor can you give any judgemnt because you havent owned both sets. If you would like the guys email I sold the Promedias to to prove I had them just ask

 

[heydre1]

Hey all,

Not sure if this is done HERE but I actually have a factory boxed set of z560s right here. They took so long to show up after ordering them (on order for 6 weeks) that I bought some others.

Anyone interested....although I can't come close to shipping this beast for $3 (more like $25 or so). Let me know...

Heydre

 

[funboy6942]

Welcome to the boards
You acturally want to list that if your really wanting to sell it in the for sale forum.
Good luck!

These are tight speakers for the price. I had them before my Klipsch and they were great.

Sounds like you have never had a set of each to compare to one another. Klipsch are much better sounding speakers. My Promedia 5.1's stomp the 560's. The 560's are still a great set of speakers, but you can not compare them to the Klipsch.

 

[NYHoustonman]

Not to mention, the Z-560's are 4.1, not 5.1, so that review he mentioned means, well, nothing.

He was actually bashing me because I have owned both speakers and IMO I like my logitechs better. But thats my opinion and the reviews opinion. He just didnt seem to like someone other then him had an opinion on something Im guessing

And PoPPer why do you care so much about ones opinon? He says he likes Klipsch over Logitechs but do you see me telling him to shut up and stop exagerating. He likes Klipsch better so what
I do have to ask. If you read a review on a product and you dissagree or think they are wrong do you email them as well and tell them to stop exagerating? If so may want to google on the Z560's and email all that have said (in their opinion) that the z560 were on par or better and stop thinking its just me that says it

Originally posted by: moochadimeWOW I really dont know what happened to your but mine are no where near wat you are describing. Plus the fact there is alot of reviews that claim that these are par and in some cases better then the Klipsch promedias. I have owned the Promedias in 2.1 and 5.1 form and I personally say this kills them. So I honestly dont know why, your, had sucked but mine are clear as a bell with crisp highs and chest pounding (no means muddy) lows. I even read a review where they have heard stuff in songs that hey never heard using other speaker set ups. I have to agree. I listened to rush and I actully heard the pick plucking the stings and the cymbals were so clean I couldnt believe it. OH and if that trully was the case they would of never gotten stamped with THX on them.

this is a thread about the Z560 4.1's, but moochadime is claiming that these 4.1's kill Klipsch's 5.1's. So yes, the review I mentioned does in fact mean something. I'm sure if there were 4.1 speakers cheaper then the 5.1's in the article and better sounding they would have mentioned it.

Lastly, the only reason I'm responding to this thread is because I'm trying to preserve the integrity and quality of posts in the hot deals forum. This is a great deal, and I thank you for posting it, but the fact remains that everything coming out of your mouth is extremely debatable and most proof on the internet points to the conclusion that your opinion is wrong. Your information, if false, may cause someone to purchase these speakers expecting something better then their Klipsch 5.1's and be sorely dissapointed. I'm done here, you can keep calling me a communist and putting words into my mouth, but when posting about hot deals don't promise people the world when the only "review" backing you up is your own.
