Logitech z-5500 Facts by Fanboys

So this is a week in which i'm getting tired because of the fanboys... again...

This is something like FAQs with a bit of rant.

Let's start.

Fanboy: Logitech z-5500 is 500w,beat this!!!

Well,even if we say the 500w wasn't a HUGE lie,do i look like i give a damn?



Most of fanboys doesn't even know what a Watt does and how important is on a Sound System,because if they knew,they wouldn't bother to have fights for 10-20w like we say a million Watts!

Fanboy: At this price you can't get anything better.

You wish!!! Wish more and who knows what's going to happen... Nothing i guess.

Fanboy: Man all those systems can't go dat low and hit 20hz like logitech!

Which low? Even my 5.25" Woofers of my Quad 11L can hit "dat" low which is 50hz.
A cheap Yamaha or Koda Subwoofer will provide better clarity and most of them will go lower.

Fanboy: You must be kidding,that Yamaha is 130w,z-5500 is 180w!!!

Logitech is 140w max with 10% THD,an 100w Subwoofer compared to one that has the same sensitivity and gets powered by 200w will have only 3db difference.
Put your Subwoofer on a corner or adjust your low frequencies on your equalizer and you'll have them,or get one that has lower Wattage and higher Sensitivity,or both,but not only Wattage.

 Fanboy: Logitech z-5500 is the best system i have heard!

...And that means you haven't heard anything else than z-5500,or at least you haven't heard a real one.

Fanboy: Get a better Sound Card and connect them with Optical or don't talk!

Dude,i'm an Audiophile messing with low level High End Equipment,my DAC is better than every single Sound Card you know and/or have,for example those sucky Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer things,i don't really need a better Sound Card to say they sound bad compared to other systems at there price,those even connected to the most good sounding and most expensive Pre-Amplifier ever wont get better as you can't patch a speaker that can only produce high and low frequencies and between 100hz and high frequencies there's nothing!

Just for the record... You don't want to get a good sound card and connect your speakers/amplifier with Optical/Coaxial,it's waste of money,use Analog connection or don't get anything!

Fanboy: I want deep and loud bass and loud sound and only z-5500 can give that to me.

The z-5500 wont give deep bass and loud sound,they aren't loud,if you think they are,i can show you some PA Speakers that i have which connected to 10w will blow you and the z-5500 away.
Those systems i'm suggesting will satisfy everyone better than z-5500 in terms of both quality and loudness,or at least the Non-Fanboys!

Fanboy: I bought the z-5500 and a good sound card and this system owns with its quality!

Wait a minute... Did you got the z-5500 and a good sound card? Here the local price is 350 euros and let's say 200 euros for a good sound card,that's like 500 to 550 euros!

If you have got some cheap home theater speakers like the first suggestion on this post and an Amplifier like the Pioneer VSX-418 you could had a better system for less that connected to your Motherboard's Onboard Sound Card would sound better than the z-5500 connected to the super duper ultimate audiophile after market Sound Card!


Fanboy: Why are you doing this?

Because i'm tired of Fanboys and Ignorance.Simple as that. :)

I think that's enough for now,having my daily conversation with Fanboys will allow me find out more facts to add them here.
