Wow and it's not a bad price. Might be in my future.

wooooot I was just about to buy the z-680's too

 

[FrozenOver2]

appears the only difference is the sub..

 

[Briguyatx]

Actually it appears the only difference is the appearance..... the even have the same wattage ratings on the sub.... basically an updated z-680 with logitechs new "look" and a control pod you can actually see the lcd on. =x

 

[IdiotInCharge]

Maybe they made them not sound like crap and not break (in comparison to Klipsch).

 

[darktiger]

Hopefully they got rid of that crappy hissing sound, and have better quality control...

appears the only difference is the sub..

-10' sub
-No hiss
-24/96
-Digital EQ
-3 analog input on the rear of the control pod can be used as either one (for connecting to a PC) or a three separate analog inputs
-new electronics design

-new electronics design

I shudder at the thought of that.
look at how well the "new design" the Z680's had worked out, and how long it took them to solve that.

These look OK, but if they're gonna redesign something, atleast give it two way speakers and dont take .5" off them. Also, why 10" sub? 8" are a lot shaper and tighter.

-10' sub

a 10 foot sub! Sweet, I'm ordering one now.

rofl. 10' sub. Good one. 10" sub can be pretty darn responsive. I think it's a good size. I was waiting for this, too bad I already bought the z680's. 8" is good enough now. Unless I hook my rockford fosgate 12" subs to my room again.. I had those hooked up to my PC once rigged up through a car battery and a MTX amp. That was awesome bass. I didn't have any 8 gauge wire though. I had to use 16 gauge for the battery. Anyway. They seem like good speakers. Maybe my 680's will "break" and i'll have to get an RMA on them soon . HINT HINT j/k

Another thing I noticed was how small the box looks considering its sporting a 10" sub

 

[bboynitrous]

I think logitech should have tuned the sub better. If they also added a tweeter to the satellites, the system would be worth it. The mids/highs are just as important or even more so than the subwoofer. It's what really gives you the music, the sub just adds depth.

I went through and ordered mine last night. I bet if I waited a few weeks the price would have dropped a bit, but I want new speakers now... my current ones are starting to get flakey

I'll post about them when I get them, but since I never owned the z-680's, I can't compare to that.

Should've payed 50$ more and picked up the Klipsch Ultras 5.1 from Bestbuy ( 350$ ) I know for a fact those will blow away the new logitechs in SQ.

I was barely able to afford the z-5500's, $50 more for the 5.1 ultra's was quite out of my price range
