Logitech ZXR-500 Speakers

When people spend money on sound cards that can decode 5.1 surround audio you will need to spend money on getting some 5.1 surround speakers to match. I introduce the latest 5.1 channel speakers from VideoLogic. I tell you now that these speakers are not for use with the likes of Sound Blaster 16 cards as they require 3 outputs from the sound card to operate all the speakers and the sub woofer. I am fortunate enough to have bought the VideoLogic Sonic Fury sound card which I think makes the perfect combination with these speakers.

What you really want to know is the power of these speakers I guess, so here are the stats:

Output Power: Total 65W RMS; fronts, rears and center 8W RMS; subwoofer 25W RMS
Package Weight: 10.6 kg
Subwoofer: Wood cabinet housing 5" with tuned front and side bass ports. Front mounted volume controls
Satellite Speakers: Five 3" drive units housed in Moulded ABS cabinets. Fully magnetically shielded
Dimensions (mm): Subwoofer: 165x250x340 Satellite Speakers: 85x112x98

This is what the postman kindly handed me, the ZXR-500 box containing 5 satellite speakers with stands, one sub woofer and 3 stereo phono to 3.5mm jack cables. The box is actually much bigger than it looks here and was very heavy! I don't know about you but the model number ZXR-500 makes me think about motorbikes, lets open up and box and see what they are like.
