Frequent readers may remember me mentioning my Dad's new Logitech Z-5500 speakers when I wrote a brief post on his new setup - consisting of the aforementioned speakers and a Dell 30" LCD. In the same post I said that they were on my wishlist - not realising that my Dad would read my blog. By the way, if you're reading this Dad - hi and thanks!
As it's my birthday in a week or so, my parents came up to Lincoln to both pick up my sister, who'd finished Uni and also to celebrate in advance. My Dad also brought his present for me along with them - a set of Logitech Z-5500's (hence the post).
To cut a long story short (as Lucas and Walliams are on TV) I've now setup the Z-5500's and have already given them a good testing via Project Gotham Racing 3 and iTunes - with the former lasting over an hour of selecting the loudest cars and driving over all the rumble strips and sand traps to experience the, well, experience.
I've only taken the volume up to what appears to be 10%, due to neighbours in the vicinity - so there's plenty of decibels left in them yet; 500w of 5.1 sound is pretty cool...
