was anyone able to get one from microcenter recently?

picked up two combos. thanks op! they still had quite a few combos at the microcenter in tustin.

how much of an upgrade is this compared to the X-Fi Xtreme Music connected via optical?

they are just the speakers and subwoofer. You will need a receiver to drive/power the speaker set. Most receivers will have optical input.

i just got the jvc rx900 from amazon w/ free prime 2 day shipping for $56 and I think for the price they sound really really good. i just did the felt mod on them about 30 minutes ago and they sound even better. there's a lot of info on them on H and on headfi.

yes, the z-2300 is the 2.1 version of the z-5500

thanks again astra. hrm, it looks like the s-6200s has DD HD and DTS master decoding. that's another one i might consider as well. i'm looking at purchasing them from club onkyo refurbished, heh.

you usually need to enable the stereo to stereo x2 or some sort of 5.1 emulator. there should be a checkbox somewhere in the sound control panel to enable the sound on the rear speakers. it basically copies whatever is playing the front, makes a couple of changes and sends it to the rear...

I'm looking to upgrade my logitech Z-5300e. For a long time I have been eying the z-5500 because of the onboard decoding but many people on [H] have said that the SQ is :o. On craigslist, I found a used Klipsch promedia ultra 5.1 for $200 locally. I assume the Klipsch are hands down, way...

does this have the bracket for 1156 sockets?

bump...power supply and jeans available.
