Strengths: Nice bass, options for mounting speakers, easy connections, good looks
Summary: Nice sounding bass which is great for games. Comes with cable adapter to plug in video games. The speaker cable terminations are color coded which makes it easy to install with a PC that has 5.1 or 7.1 connections. The speakers have good looks with black color and have good quality finish. The center speakers can be placed on edge of LCD screen, which is how I installed mine. The satellite speakers can be desk or wall mounted (the base rotates to make this easy). I was concerned when I picked up the woofer. I held it from the base, only to feel that I was pulling from the woofer cone. Not a shortcoming, but better be safe when moving the woofer. I wish the cables were about 3 feet longer, at least for the back channels. This was easily fixed by purchasing extender cables at the local electronics store. Did I say wow?!?! These speaker system sounds great for the price paid.

Strengths: (1) They sound great! Nice, loud and clear (2) Rear speakers wire is actually long enough to place them behind your couch/wherever you sit (3) Wired volume control is nice
Summary: I now have three different Logitech 5.1 systems and this one is easily the best. The design of the speakers is nice and they are very powerful and loud. It's nice that they gave the rear speakers long enough wire so you can actually place them behind you, my other sets do not have long enough wire for this. The wired remote/volume/fader control is nice but I wish it was wireless or provided a longer wire. I got these for about half the retail price via a rebate special and am very satisfied with the quality of this system.
Summary: I bought this set to replace an old Cambridge Soundworks set from 6 years ago. I was looking at either a 2.1 system or a 5.1 system and I decided on this one because of the price. Installation was a snap. The speakers have RCA type inputs so no messing around with wires. The wires are a bit short though. So far, sound has been excellent, make sure you adjust the bass correctly or things sound a bit tiny. Overall great system at such a low price point (around $70 after rebate).
