Reviewed: Logitech Z-5450 Wireless Speakers
Jun 23, 2007 News
Australian tech media website TweakTown just reviewd the new Logitech Z-5450 Wireless Speaker system. With pretty surprising results: “Movie decoding is handled comfortably here with support for Dolby Digital, Dolby Prologic 2, DTS and DTS 96/24 hardware decoding – definitely no lack of support here. The Z-5450’s handled movie soundtracks very comfortably with no issues of dialogue clarity from the centre channel of any digital noise from the amplifier. Our previous concern about the subwoofer’s ability to play low frequency bass notes have arisen again here with demanding film soundtracks at times asking a little more than the unit can deliver resulting in the usual garbled fluffy port distortion, which are characteristic of this design in many different shapes and forms.

Well.
I highly doubt that the lack of LFR in the subs will matter at all at this price point. 96/24 specs are a joke considering the D/A will no doubt be a piece of….
I love how the specs on paper for consumer products keep increasing while the prices keep falling.
We must live in a world where we get more for your money!!!
Don’t believe the hype, comrades. You don’t need hi-fi on your computer, perhaps the noisiest box of fans and HDs you own. Save your money for an isobox to lower the noise floor if you really think it’ll help(hint: it won’t)
Buy some real speakers. 2 of them.
Don’t buy into the more speakers the better.
Most movies you’ll want to watch really does not require more than 2 speakers.
If you want to “hear” the dialogue better, try forced Prologic decoding or mono (which is what Prologic does with the stereo signal anyway).
Better yet, buy a stereo! But don’t get me started.
The real porblem is in the actual software. You don’t need better hardware; you need better content but that’s a whole another rant.
