An amp to get better sound out of my Logitech Z-5500 speakers

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
The subject says it all. I am looking for a good bang-for-buck amplifier to get better sound out of my Z-5500 paired with my PC/Xbox. What dyou guys suggest?

The subwoofer uses a proprietary connection, am I correct in assuming you either no longer have or intend to use the subwoofer and you are just talking about the satellites?

No, there aren't any off the shelf amps with 5 speaker + sub outputs.

You won't make the z-5500's sound any better or worse than they already are. If you want better sound quality, invest in some real speakers + amplifiers. There's nothing at all you can do with those to make them any better. They're still going to suck no matter what you do to them. wink.gif
