Logitech Announces Two New Speaker Sets: Z-5500 Digital 5.1 and Z-2300 2.1

It's Logitech speaker week! Kevin Wolff just reviewed a set of 2.1 speakers, and today Logitech has announced two new sets that look, frankly, awesome. I have a set of Z680's, and they rock. The Z-5500's look like they'll rock even more. 505 watts of power? Ye gods man! 8O
"The Logitech Z-5500 Digital speakers, a 5.1 surround sound system with THX® certification, can pound out 505 watts of power, thanks in no small part to a 10-inch subwoofer with enormous — and adjustable — bass. But the Logitech Z-5500 Digital speaker system isn´t just about loud bass: It offers premium performance at any volume. It features 96/24 digital decoding capabilities for both the PC platform and home entertainment systems. The new 96/24 format is now being used on some enhanced DVD and audio discs, High Definition PC audio systems as well as advanced signal processing of all audio including PlayStation®2 games, Xbox® games, DVD movies and more."
"...the Logitech Z-2300 speakers, a stylish three-piece 2.1 channel system, can crank out 200 watts RMS and 400 watts of total peak power — far more than competitive speakers in this price range. The two satellites have 2.5-inch polished aluminum phase plug drivers that provide rich, dynamic sound. The Logitech Z-2300 speakers will be available in the U.S. beginning in October for a suggested retail price of $149.95. "
