The X-540 speakers use FDD2™ (Frequency Directed Dual Driver) technology to produce a uniform soundfield anywhere in the room. Immerse yourself in the game using the selectable 'matrix mode,' which automatically creates 5.1 surround sound from common 2-channel stereo sources. The compact satellites are wall-mountable, and and a special clip lets you place the centre channel speaker on top of most flat-panel monitors to reduce desktop clutter. Use the wired control centre to control volume and bass levels or connect headphones to enjoy your games and music privately.

Summary
A couple of months ago, I told my wife that I wanted to use my hard-earned Epinions Income Share check to get something for me, rather than her snatch it up to deposit in our account. She actually agreed, so I said that I wanted to get some...

Exposed subwoofer could be easily damaged

Despite some minor design flaws, this is a great set of speakers for your computer.
Recently purchased the LOGITECH X-540 5.1 Speaker System. Why I purchased it: We needed a SMALL system for our apartment, as we have downsized. I had purchased an inexpensive REGENT 2.1 system which was better than the Plasma TV speakers, but...

excellent sound quality, convenient control deck, convertible wall-mount/stands, inexpensive
This 5.1 is nothing short of amazing. The satellites give you rich, full sound, and the subwoofer has enough power to start an earthquake. These are Logitech's first speakers with their Frequency Directed Dual Drivers, which give you a uniform sound...
Strength
Great High and Mid Frequencies, Matrix Technology, Low Price, Great Looks.
Cons: What really got me angry was the fact that these speakers didn't play true surround sound. I love the fact that I didn't completely waste all my money on these but I wouldn't call them 5.1 though. I would call it a 2 channel surround sound...
Strength
Good audio for occasional use
Matrix 2 channel surround is a good benefit
Weakness
DOES NOT PLAY DOLBY, THX OR DTS!

I am totally impressed with the quality and sound production for the price of $100. For a computer room and gaming applications it suffices. To improve on this set of speakers you would have to spend much more money. The bass is not overwhelmingly...
These speakers sound amazing for music, gaming, whatever you want to listen to. I like that there are five speakers because you can arrange them around your desk and have music coming from different directions. But I had these for less than a year before...
