Loud Enough?

Logitech's best just got better. The Z5500 5.1Ch speakers have come to their End Of Line. Which hopefully means big price drops as their bloody good speakers. The only gripe with them (and this is with all Logitech Speakers) is that the Sub unit that came with them were an enormous let down. Loud yes, deep or rich sounding, not even close. At least it could take down walls.

The replacement is called the Z906 (images and details down below). It seems that although the Satellites have been turned up 5 watts RMS each, the Sub has been toned down 23 watts, giving roughly the same total RMS output as it's predecessor. Lets hope this means better balanced sound.
