Systems that can kill Logitech ones

With simple words... Let's open fanboystic eyes that are thinking the z-5500 and the z-2300 are the only one out there because logitech claims high wattage (and ignorance) at the time that there some of the worst sounding compared to the systems you can build!

Multimedia 5.1 Systems that are better and not more or a little bit expensive than the z-5500:
Edifier s550: 250 Euros.

Teufel Concept E100: 180 Euros.
Teufel Concept E200: 230 Euros.
Teufel Concept E300: 280 Euros.

Xoro HXS-614: I have heard about this system that costs bellow 150 euros,but unfortunately i haven't tested it to offer my opinion about it,i guess for its price will be a z-5500 killer.

You can find a link to buy it Here,and photos by Alton right Here.

Now let's go for a lot Stereo 2.1 and 2.0 Systems:
Amplifier: Pioneer A-109 - Approximate 100-110 Euros.
Speakers: Yamaha NS-B210 - 40 Euros.
Subwoofer: Yamaha YST-SW030 - 100-130 Euros.

Total Cost: Approximate 250 Euros.
Logitech z-2300 Local Price: 170-180 Euros and goes to 200 Euros.
Difference: 50 Euros.

Very nice system for its price,it can also suit with a T-Amp 2024 that has a starting price at 20 Euros and will provide great sound and it will drive the speakers decently for its size but however not even close to what you'll get with the Pioneer.

Stereo System number 2:

Amplifier: Pioneer A-109: Approximate 100-110 Euros.
(Tower) Speakers: Koda AV-900 (dual 6.5" Woofers,88db Sensitivity): 120 Euros.
Subwoofer: You don't need one i guess,but a Koda SW-1000 can feat with +100 Euros cost.

Total Cost: Under 250 Euros without Subwoofer.

This post will go far so i'm not continuing suggesting setups because i will finish next year,i just wanted to show some systems that are as cheap as the z-2300 - z-5500 and better aswell.

If you have any doubt about the loudness or the quality compared to Logitech,i'm challenging you to get them and test them yourself.
