What's your 360 hooked up to for sound?

I'm not sure if this will be a substantial upgrade from my current Sony 5.1 setup? I think the Logitech 550 might be a better choice for me and my budget (under $300).

Klipsch makes some nice products, but this set does not have a Dolby Digital decoder like the 5500's and is not THX certified either.

Divot - I am really leaning towards the Logitech 5500s. They and the Pioneer HTS-GS1 seem to be the only logical choices for under $300 for console and PC sound. All the reviews for it on Amazon.com are favorable for the Logitech. I am now prowling on Ebay for a good deal. I have seen it as low as $250.

Jack,

I have enjoyed mine thoroughly and is one of the best gaming investments I have ever made. I don't see how you could go wrong with a purchase, especially at the prices you are finding. Good Luck!

Great find Jon! Thanks!!! Heading over to newegg right now with credit card in hand

this thread might not be over though...you know me

Edit: With $40 shipping, it actually comes to $300 (before rebate), so I went to Buy.com and got it for $265 w/ free shipping. I hate rebates!!! But the good news is I GOT IT. Unfortunately I now have to wait like 10 business days for the cheapo free shipping (I think it comes on the back of a camel or something

Yeah, I use Buy.com alot. For stuff that's in stock, it's usually pretty quick (UPS ground w/ the free shipping) but stuff that's low stock or a really good deal that sells out quickly, it can take several weeks.

I waited 4 weeks for a Zune speaker dock (granted, it was only $40 when retail was like $100+, so it was worth the wait), and I waited 2 months for a HD DVD copy of Digital Video Essentials (it was only $14.99 though and on backorder forever).

GL with the new speakers.

Unfortunately, I have to sell this Logitech system. Please check the "FOR SALE" thread for more info. Something else more important came up and I need the money for that instead.
