This Christmas, I used my Best Buy gift cards to buy myself a set of these. Logitech X-540 5.1 surround speakers. They are sweeeeeeet!

They definitely beat my old 4.1 system that I pieced together out of a cyberacoustic 2.1 system and an old 2-speaker altec lansing multimedia speaker set. Logitech thought of everything. They put all the audio controls on a control pad instead of on a satellite, they even made the center speaker’s stand have the ability to clip on to most flat panel monitors!

One of the coolest things that it does, though is that it has dynamic bass equalization , which means that the subwoofer never distorts even when it gets loud! It also has this feature called “Matrix Mode” which takes a 2 channel stereo signal and converts it into a 5.1 signal. That is pretty darn cool. I really like this system.
