My current set came with stands but they cant be used on the Z5500. I m sure i can think of something though.
I have seen someone mounting them on the ceiling using a very cheap convenient store brace thing. That might solve my problem. Or i need to make something myself to use my current stands.
The popping issue should be fixed. Logitech promissed to solve issues of current owners as well. According a popular Dutch tech website.

175 GBP sounds very nice. Havent seen them for that price here. Will keep my eyes open for a few weeks though. Thanks for the advice![]()

in terms of specs though. The model itself hasn't been updated. I might hold off to christmas until reordering. Bloody car . . .

Well I think i will hop out tonight to check what the prices are in the big shops near me. It seems pretty impossible to buy him here for less than 250. I have read that there have been some actions for 222 euro in the past. But Im afraid I wont find it cheaper.

impatience is a bastard. Van't find anything lower than your price either. Amazing to think that these are PC speakers. . . . Make sure you have a decent sound card aswell. I'm sure you do though
But when you connect it using digital SPDIF interface (optical or coax) it doesnt care how good your soundcard is. It can send lossless LPCM stereo to the speakers and AC3/DTS surround as well. With a good soundcard you are more flexible but its not necessary at all for good quality.
Dont know about splitting though. Forum at Doom9.org is your best option

that could do the trick indeed. Optical from each source into that. Not sure if my ears could hear the difference between Dolby Digital and DTS through optical and TrueHD via HDMI through a receiver. Though HDMI can do audio and vdeio through the one cable (but then you need another HDMI from amp to TV. Pros and cons. I'm sure i'll be happy with these.
