"Hands down the best PC speakers I've ever listened too, period."
Pros: Design, build, and the full range of sounds. Treble, mids, and bass, its all there.
Cons: Nothing, worth every penny I spent on them, and more.
Summary: <p>I use to have Logitech Z-560 400 watt 4.1 speakers before I spent the big bucks on these Bose Companion 5's. Yeah, $399 plus tax. It was just time for a change. I have an enormous 70GB digital music collection and about 500 DVD's that I wanted to treat better on my 24" iMac. I was also done with all the wires involved with 4.1 and 5.1 PC Speaker systems. </p>
<p>What 2.1 speaker systems was a I looking at before purchasing these gems? I looked, read reviews for, and listened to the Logitech Z-2300, Klipsch 2.1, and Altec Lansing FX6021. At first I was concerned with wattage until I listened to the Altec Lansing FX6021 with only 75 watts total RMS. When I heard these I realized that wattage really meant nothing. 200 watts was bull. I really wanted speakers that made my movies sound crisp, clear, and realistic even at low volumes. I kept myself away from Bose just because of the prices. I was really close to ordering the FX6021's at $175 on Amazon, but I decided that I should really listen to the Bose Companion 3 Series ll, and the Companion 5's. The Bose store was close by, so I went. The Companion 3 Series ll were incredible. But I can afford to spend more, so I went with the Companion 5's. I was sold within a few minutes and within 10 minutes walked out with my new speakers. I'm so happy with me that I can't describe it in words.</p>
<p>I've never listened to speakers like these in my life. There really isn't much to say. They are insane. Don't listen to all this hype about the "Bose" name bringing the price up. Just go to a Bose store and listen for yourself. If you like, and can afford them, then buy them, you won't be sorry. You'll probably keep them forever. Good luck in your speaker search! I found mine after looking long and hard!!</p>

Read your Bose Companion 5 review. I have always been a fan of Bose satellite speaker systems but was curious why you decided on the three speaker set as opposed to the true surround set up with 5 speakers like the Logitech Z5500's. How do the three speakers handle your DVD's?
Thanks.
