Strengths: Crisp, clear, incredible sound, loud LoUd LOUD, optical input, remote control, quality construction with great looks, handy control modual. Summary: This device, coupled with my Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card can really make my windows rattle! The only problem is that my wife won’t let me use it to its full potential while she’s home =( I was not expecting the subwoofer to be the size of a dog house, but I guess that’s what you need to get the huge sound that you do! I use my system mostly for gaming and the surround sound, crisp audio, booming base, and directionality is awesome! Now that I’m playing games with the new sound card/speakers, I feel like I’m hearing whole new games. Strengths: great low/mid/high quality. Summary: after alot of use i have come to much preffer these over my old Z-680 set.
There is alot of changes (it is not just the woofer like some people claim... check the site) the mid range is alot clearer and the woofer is no longer \"boomy\" but can still output thunderous shakes that rock my mirror on the wall. the woofer along with its increase in size has gained alot of clarity in its bass frequency output aswell, alot more defined i would say :)
The added support of DTS 24/96 means i can play games/dvds that support it which is nice, and yes there quite a few poping up although i have only 3 titles so far
speaker wire is just composite cable from your local radio shack, so cheap and easy to extend... and if you like voiding your warrenty the wire is very easy to completely replace.
just like the 680's however you can notice a small amount of extra clarity if you remove the grills... however i would only do this if you have them wall mounted and have no issues with things being thrown around :)
connectivity is just as simple and easy, 3 stero minijack inputs for direct 6 channel sound, or you can switch to 3x2 stereo inputs if you preffer. the set does not come with any digital cabling, however Coax digital cable is just composite cable... cheap and easy to hook up. and of course you have the option of optical
the SPL on these are rated at >115db and using my own SPL rating tools i have a reading of 108db and thats not at max volume... to put it simply, these speakers do output some grunt in great quality... they are by no means the best speakers you can get for your home theater/pc but for there price range... they certaintly are :)
Strengths: Incredible sound, great sound output options, window-rattling bass, excellent control console. Summary: The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was that the subwoofer was much larger than I would have expected. It is easily as large as the subwoofers found on premium home theater setups. Looking at the subwoofer, satellites, and console, it was clear that this was as serious as a computer speaker setup gets. It was not going to disappoint, either.
I logged onto Napster, and the first song I played was \"In the Club\" by Blur. I am not a huge Blur fan, but heard the song recently and recalled it had quite a bit of bass. At the volume around 40%, and the subwoofer at 30%, the whole place was shaking. Shaking, but the sound was impeccable.
Next, I threw in Pink Floyd \"Dark Side of the Moon,\" switched the speaker output to Dolby ProII Music, and was then treated to a real show. It really seemed like I was at a PF concert. The vocals were coming from the front speakers and the sound effects were swirling throughout the room. No musical detail was hidden. Every sound was distinct, sharp and clear. I have never heard music sound better than this.
This speaker system does not come cheap, but I will tell you it is worth every penny. Listening to music through it is bliss. If you are looking for a new set of speakers, and these cost as much as $150 more than you would be ordinarily willing to pay, make the investment. You'll be happy that you did.
