Technology has changed the world of sounds systems dramatically over the past few years. Unfortunately, manufacturers of conventional sound systems does not seem to be keeping up with this trend.

The vast majority of us that are using the Logitech and Bose systems are OMB entertainers who are performing in small to mid size venues with audiences ranging in size from 50 to 150 people. We are not playing background music for quaint dinner parties where they volumes are so faint that no one can hear you playing. Instead, we're headlining, playing and singing, filling dancefoors to capacity and hearing some of the best sound quality we've experienced in years.

While these tiny speakers were initially designed for home theater and computer systems, you must keep in mind that in both aspects consumers demanded and got incredible quality sound systems. As these tiny systems increased in size, they also increased in quality, providing outstanding sounds throughout the frequency range, and projecting those sounds over greater distances.

It was just two years ago when a few of us decided to give the Logitech systems a try, beginning with the Z-2200. The results were phonemonal. Today, whith the 5.1 surround systems offered with the Logtech Z-5300 and Z-5500, those sounds have improved to an even greater degree, providing crisp highs, excellent mids and gut-thumping lows that reach well beyond conventional sound systems. Those often muddy sounds experienced with large, conventional systems are gone.

While there are still a lot of individuals who seem to be impressed with expensive, monster speakers sitting atop huge stands, wires running all over the floor, stacks of equipment, and 1-hour setup times, I'm not among them. My ageing body really enjoys the lightweight Logitech Z-5500 system, a system that provides my audiences with crisp, clear vocals, plus transmits the exact sounds of my keyboard throughout the venue at levels enjoyed by everyone.

As I have said in the past, let your ears be the judge--not your eyes or your wallet.

Good Luck on whatever you decide upon,

Gary
