Thanks guys for the useful feedback. I checked out the logitech systems, strong bass but I found a lack of presence and sound stage wasn't a strength. I happen to call into our local hi-fi dealer where he demonstrated the Acoustic Energy Aego 2.1 M system. Absolutely breathtaking! They don't have the power ratings of the Z-5500 on paper, but produce an incredible soundstage, detail, blended sound where you really cannot distinguish between the sub and the satellites. For the price you can't go wrong, they sound better than my top end hi-fi system with Mission speakers! They sound as though there's plenty of db's for what I need, but if I find they struggle then I'm happy to buy another set and feed each set from L/R outputs!

Still going through my music collection and discovering new sounds all the time with the Aego M's, they defy physics!

Regards
Simon
