Need advice today (4/5/5)!!: Is Logitech 5300e 5.1 speaker set good?

[shaunh]

I'm looking for a speaker set to be powered by my new PC which should arrive in a couple weeks. It has the Audigy 2 card in it. I was only planning to spend about $70-$80 but I see that Amazon has the Logitech 5300 5.1 THX set for $109 after a $30 rebate. The deal ends tonight though. I'm just looking to hear feedback on this speaker system and if you guys think it is worth $109.

P.S. I've read reviews these are good but I know sometimes reviewers sugarcoat some things so looking to hear the real skinny from anyone who has these or have heard them before.

Thanks!

Well, I'll simply say buy those speakers, because they are the best you can possibly get for under $200. They are an amazing set, well worth every cent when I bought them for $150 and a heck of a deal @$110 shipped AR. I could really go on alot longer, but it won't do them justice.

...just in case you didn't get that....

BUY THEM RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! your ears will thank you. (but maybe your neighbors won't....)

Ok, I sucked it up and ordered it. I really didn't want to pay but about $60-$70 for some speakers but from all i've read on the net from both reviews and people like in the post above this will be worth the extra $40-50 to get the excellent surround sound.

I can't even begin to describe how happy you'll be.

Yeah my friend has a set of those if I'm thinking correctly. They really are good, I use the older Z560's myself but I'd take either one of them, the control pod on the 5300's is a lot better.

Thanks guys!! Now I just have to wait that long wait (hopefully not too long) for the Fedex guy to show up outside!!

[shaunh]

still waiting.......LOL...guess i shouldn't have expected it this soon but still I was hopeful..

Got these speakers last night and they really rawk!! Thanks guys!! Just wanted to let you know!

I made my friend buy them right before the sale was over as well. He was going to get the x530's but I talked him up to these.

Something I'd like to add, if you have a decent sound card these things sound MUCH better. They may not be the highest quality you can get , but they are high enough for me to notice the difference. I was using onboard sound until a few days ago when I thought these speakers rocked my world. I installed a used Audigy and these things blow my mind.

Yeah i'm using 4.1 soundcard now (SB Live! Value) and they sound fantastic. My new Falcon when it arrives at end of month will have Audigy 2 which will give me the full 5.1 experience. I can't even imagine how much better that is going to sound.
