Recommend me some 5.1 speakers

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I want some nice 5.1 surround speakers for my living room, I want to plug in my TV, 360 and PS3 all at the same time. Wireless speaker thingys would be a bonus for minimal amount of wires everywhere.

 

Secondly, as my Xbox is plugged in via VGA, would I just plug the sound cable into the speaker system and get 5.1 or would I need a different cable?

I have the Logitech Z-5450 speakers.

 

They're wireless and sound great. How I have it set up is both the 360 and PS3 hooked up to the TV through HDMI (Regular audio cables would work too) and then have the TV output to the speakers via an Optical cable, so everything sounds awesome!

 

Cost me around $400.

Sounds good, how do you power everything, does each speaker need it's own plug?

 

Edit: Just done a quick google search, looks like they're discontinued! :(

 

Second Edit: (Just in case people want to know) If you've got a VGA cable input for your Xbox 360 and want 5.1 sound also, you'll need to buy an optical cable. Look at the VGA cable where it inserts into the 360 and you'll see where you insert it.

I knew the 5400 which were the non-wireless versions were being discontinued. Ebuyer wa selling them for £130 which was an absolute bargain.

 

I thought the 5450s were kinda replacing them as the wireless ones.

 

Front 3 are all done by the front box.

 

The rear 2 speakers are connected to the rear box which is plugged in.
