I used to have the Z5500, they were actually the first "decent" set of speakers that I had. My stuff is in my signature, some of it has been upgraded recently, but I don't feel like changing my signature to reflect. You have a lot of great equipment, it looks like there are a lot of places where you live to enjoy some good sound!

^ Logitech makes low grade speakers. I can't believe you are using them. Time to upgrade your listening taste!
Ha ha....
cheez
Living room (aka, theater room):
Cerwin-vega CLS-215 (4 of them)
JBL MRX528S (2 of the dual 18" subs
QSC DCA-1644 digital cinema amp
QSC RMX-2450 stereo amp
170" projector screen with 1.2 gain (had to downsize at this new place from my 221" screen)
benQ W500 projector (Picked this up many years ago now and will be upgrading to a much newer model this year)
bedroom:
JBL Soundfactor SF25 (2 of them)
some amp I cant remember the name of, but it sounds great and gives 400w per channel (stereo amp)
Panasonic 55" VIERA TC-P55VT50
Onkyo TX-NR717
Computer:
Sennheiser PC-350 with "hero mod"
Audio-GD "FUN" DAC unit with AD797BRZ op amps
EQ and effects processing done on an HT Omega Claro II card, mainly for better gaming experience.
So not the highest end stuff, but I like them a lot. The Cerwin vegas sound pretty nice actually. I got them after hearing the speakers on year at the NAMM show. They have a bit harsh 4k area, but that is easy to deal with in EQ.
The JBL speakers paired with my amp and my DAC unit have some of the best quality sound I have ever heard. Truly amazing. I have ever gotten compliments on it from my friends who own recording studios and are professional sound engineers for concerts and large mega churches with $200,000 sound systems.
The amp in the main area is also pretty incredible sounding for mains. It doesnt have the best low end sound, but is great for midrange and high end, which works perfect for me because I have the quad 18 subs to fill in the low end in the main room.
The projector looks pretty decent for being only 720p and so old. But I want something better and will be getting a much newer model this year.
And the Panasonic plasma in my bedroom is just amazing. The picture quality on it is insane.
The computer setup is all about PC gaming, not an amazing audio experience for music. The others rooms are geared more for great audio and video experiences.
