    I was thinking of these or the Z5500. Can anyone explain the difference of each and in your opinion, which has the better quality ?

    • krisspy on 24/08/2013 - 08:46

      They sound the same.

      Z5500 sucks up ridiculous power on standby and has a louder sub.

      Spend $100 more on audio engines

      • King Steuart on 24/08/2013 - 09:11

        krisspy how much power do they use on standby? more than 10w?

          :/ how big of a mistake am i making by having my z5500's on 24/7 (literally)?

        • Adster01 on 24/08/2013 - 11:28

          Hmmm, I'm doing the same…

        • narz on 24/08/2013 - 15:37

          So I read this about the standby power draw the other week. The first time I turned it off at the switch when I was leaving for the day, it blew a fuse… god dammit.

          These systems are notorious for blowing fuses, so I wasn't overly surprised, but a bit annoyed. I usually keep a few on hand as simply moving the sub slightly while powered on will often blow a fuse.

        • Junkee on 25/08/2013 - 08:30

          I leave mine on standby 24/7 because of this exact issue. 90% of the time when they are switched off at the wall, they blow a fuse. Lucky I bought a handful of them the first time it happened. They are an awesome system though. I also have the Z2300's which also pump =)

      • plague69 on 25/08/2013 - 10:04

        Think you got a lemon mate… My 5500 takes ~6w (98% accuracy meter) when turned off.

        Edit: had them for over four years, never had issues with blown fuse. Had to replace the control unit once though, backlight died

        • Junkee on 25/08/2013 - 10:38

          Yeh, my backlight has also gone.. Did you fix it yourself? or was it under warranty?

          Also, regarding the fuse, do you ever switch it off at the wall? It seems like that is the only time mine blows a fuse.

          Maybe I need to use a different/ higher rated fuse?

        • scyth3r on 25/08/2013 - 18:45

          ive had mine for 2 years with no blown fuses but then again I never turn it off. I also had the problem with the backlight turning off on my control pod but it randomly resolved itself within a month

    • standogg on 24/08/2013 - 12:42

      Well my brother had the z5500 and I've got the z906 and he seemed more impressed with my z906 than he ever did with his z5500, I run mine from the digital output of my Asus Xonar D2 soundcard (winamp > SA Stereo tool plugin for winamp > Maiko output plugin for winamp > SRS Audio Essentials > Asus Xonar Control center > Digital output > z906) in my pc and from my PS3 and I am more than happy with it. I've had it over a year without an issue and I must say the sound quality is awesome! The sub pumps out plenty of bass (would vibrate your house to pieces if you let it) and the speakers never sound thin, muffled or distorted and oh boy is it loud!!!

    • SpaceInvader112 on 25/08/2013 - 02:02

      The Z906 is the replacement model for the Z-5500. I bought a Z-5500 system from MSY for about $350 a couple of years ago, and it's being used as my main PC speaker setup at the moment. They were 100% worth the money - sound is very clear and crisp, the 10" subwoofer is not overpowering or "boomy", the headphone jack on the control unit is very handy and the silver/black colour scheme with blue LED screen looks far superior to the Z906 in my opinion.
      I also have an optical SPDIF fibre running to it and it decodes Dolby Digital DVDs/BluRay flawlessly.
      I mainly use my system for playing lossless music and gaming (5.1 surround took my gaming experience to the next level!), and as an audiophile myself I can safely say that you won't be disappointed with the Z-5500s, they were far better than I expected. I don't know anything about the Z906 system (they might even be the same speaker units?), but all I can say is that my system is a great buy, provided you can still find a retailer selling it.

        If you were an Audiophile, you wouldn't buy Logitech speakers.

        • King Steuart on 26/08/2013 - 08:50

          For some people it's this or nothing for surround sound. It was the cheapest option for me when I had no money and wanted digital optical. They're pretty good for gaming too, and you don't really get your audiophile and video game craving satisfied at the same time.

          True audiophiles have a completely sealed separate room with a speaker like this to listen to their music: http://im9.cz/sk/iR/importprodukt-orig/d9c/d9c676f85f2d7a6fd…

    How do I get this delivered. DSE website says this product is not available for delivery. And my local DSE have no stocks.

    • Tapek on 25/08/2013 - 06:57

      Same here, I'm just gonna go in store and demand they order one in for the price it says on their site or they can damn well take them off the website.

  • anthman on 25/08/2013 - 01:17

    How would these compared to a similarly (ozb similarly ;)) priced HTIB? Eg http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/114356

  • Talaria on 25/08/2013 - 03:00

    No stock everywhere since last deal, and home delivery is not available. Just price match with JB hifi, you will get it if they do not check carefully.

    • Tapek on 25/08/2013 - 06:56

      If JB HiFi sold them that would be great advice

      • Talaria on 25/08/2013 - 23:38

        Check around， JB got them in stock. Got mine in JB hifi via price match last time.

    I have a brand new set of 5500 in the box still. I bought 3 sets. I love em, only wish it had HDMI but optical is fine. I have a $4000 set of Jensen speakers and pioneer amp for my TV and I prefer the z5500 which only cost $280. I had plans to remove my Jensen set and mount my logitechs to the walls and ceiling but then I changed my mind… so who wants my spare set :D

    • rodgyramjet on 25/08/2013 - 09:43

      wow seems people sell the parts on ebay for rediculous prices…

      I've had mine for either 7 or 5 years. Had to replace 1 fuse. I gave Dad my 2nd set and he never uses them. I use them when I go visit once in a blue moon… His are 5yrs old too, I think he blew 1 fuse. I read an article years ago that the fuse supplied was dodgy and it needed to be upgraded with a different one…

      I highly recommend the speakers! I can only assume these 906's are equal or better.

      • Junkee on 25/08/2013 - 10:42

        Any chance you have the specs on the fuse you use? I went to Jayar when mine first blew and asked them for a replacement of the same ones. They seem to blow almost every time I switch the speakers off at the wall.

  • AnyPrice Helper on 25/08/2013 - 09:48

    Oh man, I wish I could justify upgrading from my Z623's to these, I absolutely LOVE the Z623s which are essentially the little 2.1 brother of these, without optical or a cool control panel w/ remote.

  • sleepyowl on 25/08/2013 - 11:01

    Just called them up and they are out of stock in Sydney apparently but haven't updated it online.

  • nicbaz on 25/08/2013 - 12:34

    I called up the Northland store in Melbourne, and they told me the only store in victoria with stock is Aulbury.
    Also it seems like you cant buy online either..

    • nicbaz on 25/08/2013 - 14:22

      That said, if you go into a dick smith store, they're happy for you to put 10% down and effectively back order one :)

  • monkeylu on 25/08/2013 - 18:53

    Is there no more stock left??

    Bear in mind these speakers don't have HDMI. You have to use analogue or Optical/Coax. 'So what' you say? Well here's my understanding:

    Optical & Coaxial audio are surprisingly limited. They can't carry uncompressed surround sound, it has to be compressed as (lossy) Dolby Digital or DTS. Furthermore, the new Blu-ray lossless audio codecs (Dolby TruHD etc) carry much higher resolution audio signals and cannot pass over coaxial or optical digital cables. But then again, the Z906 can't decode these formats anyway.

    HDMI can carry all this, as well as uncompressed (LPCM) 8-channel audio. And it supports things like audio return channel which enables the TV to send audio in the opposite direction back to the speakers (i.e. for Digital TV/DVB-T).

    Despite all these limitations, I'm happy with my Z-5500. It was only $290 delivered nearly three years ago. The only issue is that it only has one optical audio input so I need to use a switching device.

    But these days I wouldn't buy a surround sound system without HDMI audio.

    No home delivery… and out of stock everywhere!

  • orza on 26/08/2013 - 09:30

    Spoke to Nunawading (VIC) store this morning and they should have 3 or 4 coming in early this week. I've had one on backorder with them at this price since July, so looking forward to this! =D

  • [Deactivated] on 26/08/2013 - 14:58

    I joined OzBargain to thank the OP. I've been looking for some speakers for my PC and PS3 and these look great.

    I called DSE and like everyone else they are out but I have just got off the phone with office works and they beat it by 5% and also free delivery.

    They are on back order but she is calling the warehouse to see what can be done
