having been on this site for a few years now, i have never known anyone to give purposely bad advice,with all recomendations it is nearly always stated to try it for yourself,i remember when the conversation came up about the logitech,s Z2200 and most of us had the same impression as to their suitability,and then gary took the initiative to try them out on one of his gigs,and due to his response (maybe others should read it)because a lot of people have a lot of respect for what gary said ,they tried them out also,the only negative feed back i have heard from most who bought them was initially advice to set them up to get their best performance from them(as also the Z5500)as i have said many times in the past i would rather trust advice from good genuine people from this site(dealers included) than go into a store and rely on advice from a salesman who may not know a lot but is only interested in his commision,mike
