Great price for a great speaker. And there is another cheaper logitech speaker on sale with instant rebate for $49.99. Logitech X-540

hmm, I'm debating between this one and the Logitech X-540 on sale at CC for around $50 after $50 MIR. What do you guys think?

Amazon has the 540's for $50 with no rebates involved and free shipping. No need to go through the hassle of rebates with CC.

G51 specifications:
- Total RMS power: 155 watts RMS
- Satellites: 20 watts RMS x 4 (into 8 ohms, @ 1 kHz, @ 10% THD)
- Center channel: 19 watts RMS (into 8 ohms, @ 1 KHz, @ 10% THD)
- Subwoofer: 56 watts RMS (into 2 ohms, @ 100 Hz, @ 10% THD)

X-540 specifications:
- 70 watts total amplification
- 7.4 watts x 4 for front and back satellites
- 15.4 watts for center channel
- 25 watts for subwoofer

In my opinion, on top of the above numbers, the G51 are just plain better looking, with the control box adding some more options, gets better ratings, etc.

If you can afford the extra $32.00 for the G51s, I would (and did) go for the G51s.

By the way, the X-540s are now at $79.99 at Amazon, so Circuit City would be your best bet for the X-540s.

Thanks OP. Picked up a pair to replace my Z-680's that I used for my home theater.

Thanks for your input. I was considering the G51 over the x540 but was unsure. Thanks for the confirmation.

Was it broken? These are no where near the level of Z-680s.

No, I originally had the Z-680s as my computer speakers, but I recently picked up a 58" plasma at which point I set them up as a cheap but decent home theater. They work great, but I've been without computer speakers for about a month. The G-51s will be on computer duty while the z-680s are on plasma duty.

Sorry, I know this is a bit off topic. My neighbor just told me he's selling his Logitech z5500 speaker system without the Control pod for $75. Is this worth it? Can I obtain a control pod elsewhere for this elsewhere cheaply? I wonder if I can use a control pod from another Logitech system with the z5500. I checked the ports and they seem to be universal.

The good news is that $75 for the Z-5500 is a good price. The really bad news is that it appears, since the control pods on the Z-5500 looks to be the first part to go bad, there does not seem to be any ready source for replacement pods, and they don't seem to be interchangeable either. Wish I had better news.

Oof, yeah that is pretty bad news. I don't agree with Logitech's decision making in that regard. O`well, thanks for the heads-up.

Do these have the wireless rear speakers, or is that option only on the pricier models?

Doh! Thanks. I wish they'd put that option on more of their speakers.
