Amazon.com Product Description:
Get the most from your computer games and DVD movies with Logitech's Z-640 surround-sound speaker system. The system's four satellites (left/right, front/surround) and center-channel speaker fill your room with sound, while the 25-watt powered subwoofer rounds out the bottom end to a deep 35 Hz, a good octave below the range of most bookshelf speakers, delivering floor-shaking bass from your music or a DVD's low-frequency-effects channel, the ".1" in a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1-channel presentation.

Inputs include a stereo analog (left/right) RCA pair and multi-channel analog inputs for decoded surround sound from any four- or six-channel sound card (or audio/video surround receiver).

The satellites are powered by 7.3 watts each, and the center channel, which handles up to 70 percent of most surround mixes, gets 16.3 watts. Logitech's innovative, dual-chamber subwoofer delivers twice the bass energy of similarly sized subwoofers, and the company's use of an internal power supply obviates the bulky wall adapters found on many surround systems.

All speakers are video shielded to allow distortion-free placement on or around your monitor, and the satellite speakers--imbued with easy-position rotating pedastals--may be mounted on stands, your desktop, or the wall. The system is covered by a two-year warranty. A handy supplied adapter ensures instant connectivity with gaming consoles.

What's in the Box
Four satellite speakers, one center-channel speaker, one subwoofer, requisite speaker cabling, one adapter cable for hookup with video-game consoles, and a user's manual.

I bought the set a while back and had to purchase a audio card to use the set properly. If the sub blows or starts rattling which mine did the set is toast. All the speakers run through the tiny 4inch cheap sub. So when it goes, don't expect to replace it. I talked to logitech to get a replacement, they basically laughed and said go buy some more speakers. So I now have five speakers that work but no way to listen to them. Great, nice paper weights.

Rating: - Not worth it, bad quality, unless you want cheap speakers!

Rating: - Beware of the rear wireless speakers
Mine died. Logitech gave me the option to buy their wired speakers instead since the warranty expired. I wouldn't recommend buying these. Google the rear speaker not connecting issue with these speakers. You have been warned. I would recommend buying the wired equivalent.

Rating: - Great cheap speakers
These are great speakers! I bought them a few years back for my girlfriend's computer, but they were nice enough she decided to use them for her TV to watch DVDs instead. The sub is surprisingly strong for its price and size, and the speakers themselves don't distort at high volumes. It's a good purchace for someone looking for good, small surround on the cheap.

Rating: - Good bang for the buck
Decent budget system. Surprisingly deep bass. I've had this setup for three years or so and do not regret buying it at all.
