Can I pair these speakers witha Logitech Z-5500 system? Is it a good idea to replace the Logitech speakers with these ones?

I was trying to find out the same thing. Did you ever get an answer? My worry is about the impedence might be different.

That is a very subjective question. I am not sure anyone could give you a knowledgable answer as there are too many variables. That said, the speakers are very high quality and if installed properly and powered properly they will sound very good. I hope that helps. Robert

I would go and look but the speakers are at my other place. Nevertheless, the controls for pairing, volume, and tone are all on the rear of the speakers and I access the controls frequently rather than go inside to whatever I have them paired with. You would be better off with a wall shelf. I can tell that these speakers have great sound!

These speakers are pretty incredible. They are surround speakers so logically they're not designed to be your mains, but there's really no reason they can't be. They have the same horn tweeter and drivers as some of the center channel speakers, driven by the right stereo receiver you should be just fine. Keep in mind, these things are pretty efficient with power but they'll only be as good as your receiver. Crappy receiver = crappy sound no matter what speakers you have.

The speakers themselve should be enough. I have a crappy sound card and these speakers sound wonderful! Good luck. They're awesome!

Simon Your setup should work the only problem I see is that the speakers you have may not get enough power but they should sound good, when I setup this speaker it was a pain trying to understand what type of series should they be installed in, but the polk audio has 4 leads red, black green, and white please follow the instructions very carefully and try only one speaker at a time. When this unit is connect correctly it sounds great.

These are computer system speakers. They would improve your sound tremendously but I think you may want a surround system or a sound bar with simulated surround. Best bet is to buy a receiver and 6 speakers

Sure you could use these as surround speakers. In fact I am using them as surround and it really sounds great. I have 5:1 sound system. Connect them to the two surround speaker connection in the back. Left to left speaker and right to right speakers. If you need more advise please let me know

They are just speakers. They don't currently have anything powering them. So the short answer is no. Maybe they could if you added a reciever and hooked your computer to that, but you'd be better off (and will save money) if you go with a powered set made for a computer.

Yes - I installed it in my Logitech z5500 sound system and works great. No other modifications necessary.

It is possible if you have a motherboard that allows its outputs to be re-tasked. I run both these and an older Logitech 5.1 system off of my motherboard, and they really compliment each other.

These are passive not active which means you will need some type of amplifier. Somthing like this will do: Pyle Home PCA3 150-Watt Stereo Mini Power AmplifierHowever, you best bet is to get some type of active speaker system like this:Logitech S220 2.1 Speaker System with SubwooferMichael

These are stereo (2 speakers) The drivers have a setting that is supposed to be like 7.1 but it doesnt work. I tested these against a set of Logitech G930. The Logitech sound great and in the sound test it seams like there are 7 speakers around your head, its amazing. These Sades sound like there are only 2 speakers a left and right. I tried all the modes in the drivers but nothing seemed to make a difference.

Absolutely. You might even find yourself not bothering to upgrade them. The sound very nice and the rest of my system is Axiom Audio with an SVS sub. I see no point in replacing them at this point as they sound great and similar Axioms would cost considerably more.

Yes you can. Just make sure you consider cable length and position of the speakers.

Yes, they can always be swapped with other speakers, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to buy 5 speakers and only use 2 or 3 of them on a 5.1 system. You won't get a better "match" because they are designed as a set. They compliment each other in frequency response, impedance and imaging (trust me - I have designed many high end systems). I would however suggest adding a powered subwoofer. I added a Klipsch SW-450 to the Quintet 5.0 set on my home theater system, and the sound is incredible with that combination. They sound awesome with music too - much better than others I've listened to.
