Logitech Z-5500 Dimensions?

control pod
Height 8 1/2 inch= 215.9 mm
width 1 3/4 inch= 25.4 mm
4 inches in length = 101.6 mm

I would get better speaker wire as well. The wire that is comes with is 18gauge.
I am using 12 gauge wire on mine. I think you have to buy screws for them

I did not like the mounts so I used omni mounts. I used these cause I have more control for the angle of the speaker where I wanted it to be at
here is the link to the ones I used

Thanks Juggalo for those measurements I only have an 8" gap on my TV stand to place the control pod. So it seems like I'll have to put it next to my TV instead unless I can bend the pod to slant backwards slightly but I'm not sure if you can! I won't be wall mounting these speakers. Atleast not in this room. But I do want to secure them to the CD stands either side of the TV just to ensure they dont fall off!

yeah! I've been waiting for them to be dispatched since mid-february because amazon were waiting for their supply. Can't wait!

Up to now I've been using a flimsy 2.1 50w Setup from wall-mart in my old room. So you can imagine the sort of improvement I'm going to have I toyed with the idea of using my altec lansing 5.1 from my PC but I don't want to compromise my PC setup.. so I bought these!! =)

They'll be connected via optical to my PS3 and RCA-3.5mm to my TV (since there's only 1 optical out). I may also connect them to my sound card to play my music library if the cables will reach!

The one thing I just cant wait to experience is dolby 5.1 blu-ray on my HDTV with these speakers. I've never had a true dolby surround setup before. I'll post back when I get them later this week and maybe do a youtube video when the new room cinema setup is done!

Well, my Z-5500's arrived friday morning 7AM sharp and I've spent all weekend moving into my new annex (extension on my parents house) I have my new cinema setup and ikea lounge chair with my 5.1 system perfectly configurated to my seating position. All wired up digitally to my PC and PS3. With the frankly gigantic subwoofer hidden tidily behind my HDTV far enough away to not cause any damage to nearby electricals (even at 1/3 bass output my neighbour thought I was having a party..

I have to say I am somewhat surprised how simple the z-5500 was to setup out of the box. I've watched so many video reviews and unboxing videos that I literally knew the system inside and out when I finally had it in my hands. But its all so well designed that it doesnt have the usual 'brain-storming fiddly setup' that high range systems of any media usually require. The clarity, given the right input, is staggering. Dolby really is given so much to work with in this system. All the channels, especially in games on the PS3, are perfectly balanced in Dolby Pro Logic II Movie Mode. The 96khz audio input is also a great bonus as the audio is quite clearly non-compressed and given the right acoustics sounds almost as if it's not coming out of speakers in the first place. Very happy with these speakers. So glad I decided to get them over the G51 fake-surround speakers. More than worth the price jump =)

yeah, i'm pretty sure the risk is low yet I have the sub hidden tidily behind my TV away from other appliances so I havent had to compromise anything to keep it at a distance. But I probably would have if i needed to, just to be safe. Since the note "keep away from aircraft's compass system during export" on the outer box got me worried lol!!

I really am enjoying them. I'm putting to use both the 6-channel, coax, optical and even the MP3 socket with these speakers and I'm a fussy one when it comes to sound quality. but i cant wipe the smile off my face when I sit down and watch a blu-ray on these babies
