    5.1 Surround system

    I'm buying a 5.1 surround system, on a budget of no more than £60. I've narrowed it down to these two.

    - Logitech X-540 (£55)


    -Yatai 5.1 Speaker System (£31)



    The problem is, the Logitec one, although it will be great quality, isnt wireless which In my room I consider to be pretty vital. The Yatai is wireless however, and is nearly half the price! Both have got 5 star reviews, but im suspicious of the Yatai, obviously because ive never heard of them and the price is criminal! Does its sound quality hold up against the Logitec?

    Which one should I get? Help please!



    Thanks please reply!

    Hey,

    The Yatai My Friend Has, It Worked For Like 10 Minsutes, Wireless Reception Is Useless No Longer Than 2- 5 Feet and it kept losing the connection!
    Hence The Price Tag!

    On The Other Hand, The Logitech Is Amazing!
    I Have That Exact 1 the Sub-woofer is Unreal!
    Turn it upto half of what it can do, and my front room floor shakes! Its over 20 Ft Away!!

    Amazing For The Money, My Dad recently bought a home cinema system, 134.99 he forked out, well he copmpletely regrets it now! The Logitech Walks All Over it!

    If i was stuck between the 2, Logitech All the Way!!

      If it helps any the wires on the rears are somewhere around 14-15' long, or at least the ones on my x-530's are. If that isn't long enough you can always pick up a couple of extension cables to get the speakers where you want them.

              I also recommend the X-Fi XtremeGamer good price and works pretty nicely... better than standard on board sound.

              Also if your new speakers do somehow get damaged, Logitech's customer support is amazing.
