BiT-Tech have thrown up their review of Logitech's Z-680 THX 5.1 Speakers! Here's a snip.
PC-Audio has always been flirting with challenging or, dare I say it, replacing traditional dedicated audio products. Most attempts have been good but nothing worth making you look at your hi-fi like a red-headed stepchild asking what has it done for you lately.
Well, with modern games taking more and more advantage of people who do have outrageous multi-channel audio setups on their gaming setups coupled with ever growing numbers of people watching DVD's on their PC's or even who have media PCs merged with their home entertainment systems the bar is rising fast.
The games, movies, and complimentary hardware such as multi-channel sound cards like the ones coming out from Creative, Hercules, and m-Audio, you have more choices for your sound delivery hardware as well as sophisticated support for DTS and SRS. The quality of speakers designed for your PC are now rivaling traditional home theatre speakers... the lines are getting really blurry. Let's take a look at a major contender.. the Logitech Z-680's.

I have 2 sets of the Z-560's & they are awesome.. I went threw 2 sets of the Z-680's & on both sets the amp on the back of the sub which powers all the speakers blew up with half crank! I got both sets from Tiger Direct so maybe they just had a bad batch.. Its a shame though.. these speakers at least look good with the digital base station.. |

You must have had bad luck man........ I've got the Z-680 set, and it works perfectly.....and have done so for quite a while......Well...appart from a slight hiss from the speakers, even when muted....But I can live with that. |
