5.1 Home Theater Surround Sound Speakers

5.1 Home Theater Surround Sound Speakers

Is it possible to use the surround sound computer speakers with my HDTV?

I'm looking for to achieve low cost surround sound. The room I will be ready to use very small. I was wondering if I can buy a surround sound system, eg Logitech X-540 5.1 Speaker System, would it be better to get a price equal to 5.1 home theater surround sound? I will be specifically be used for watching movies and my Xbox 360. If I were to have a receiver to go along with the Logitech system, and hook the HDTV through the receiver, then I will be able to get a 5.1 surround sound. Link TV is always same connections that my tv.

The Logitech system is owned by a PC and requires a good performance. Some have suggested here can only run the signals from a source with some home-made cables, but you do not get any re-equalization needed receiver characteristics. I suggest you stick to the HTIB set-up against a Rube Goldberg created with the PC speakers.

Logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speaker System Hear your movies, music and games for the first time. Great sound. It's all in the details. This powerful speaker system brings them out in high-clarity THX-certified sound. From the fat bass thumps in your favorite rock anthem to the creepy hallway steps in your favorite horror film, you'll hear details you never knew were there. Add to that an impressive 200 watts of RMS power and you've got everything you need to rock your entertainment world. Key Features Genuine THX-certified audio quality Once you hear these speakers, you'll know why they're among the few that have earned the THX seal of approval. THX certification is the ultimate mark of audio quality and your assurance of a studio-quality listening experience. 200 watts of bold, powerful sound Hear and feel the music with more than enough power to rock the room. Go ahead and turn it up. The speakers are built to deliver clear, detailed, distortion-free sound—even at window-rattling volume. Phase-plug drivers for more accurate sound reproduction From the soaring high note in a guitar solo to the loud burst of jet engines in an action movie, Logitech Phase Plug drivers make sure you don't miss a sound. A cone-shaped aluminum Phase Plug at the center of the driver helps to accurately reproduce high- and mid-range frequencies with less coloration than standard drivers. And because the Phase Plug acts as a heat sink, the driver is better able to preserve dynamic range. So you hear the quiet of a whisper and the loud, full force of an explosion. The Phase Plug even acts as a reflector, creating a much wider sweet spot of mid to high frequencies compared to conventional speaker designs. The bottom line? The true sonic signature of your movies, music and games comes through loud and clear. Long-throw subwoofer for rich, room-filling bass Intensify your movie, music and gaming experience with distortion-free bass that goes extra deep. The powerful 8-inch, 120 watt driver reproduces the wide range of low frequencies that deliver room-shaking rumbles and rich, tight bass notes. And with Logitech's flared side port, the port noise that can occur with subwoofers is eliminated. It's big, bold bass without the distractions. SoundTouch™ remote for easy control You have complete control over your listening experience with this sleek wired remote. Control master volume, subwoofer level and power. There's even a headphone jack for private listening. Audio adapter for quick device connections The system comes complete with a handy adapter that lets you easily connect the speakers directly to your game console, DVD player or CD player.

Description

Sound this big from speakers this small just has to be heard to be believed. The Polk Audio RM705 complements today's stylish high-tech flat panel TVs and audio electronics. The new RM705 Home Theater System is a complete six-piece 5.1 channel system that presents a sleek, minimalist design while delivering impressively big sound. Heavy-duty, non-resonant composite enclosures feature an elegant, high-gloss finish that creates the ideal décor accent. Polk speaker technology ensures superior system performance, delivering rich, full-bodied, big speaker sound. Mount the speakers on shelves, or next to your plasma or flat-screen television using their flexible wall-mount brackets. An included cradle supports the center channel. The RM705 is part of our 700 Series, also available in 6.1 and 7.1.

With Polk Audio's RM705, you get a perfectly matched, professional quality compact 5.1-channel surround sound home theater system at an affordable price. It combines four high performance RM7 satellite speakers, the RM7 center channel speaker, plus a specially engineered, compact 50-watt powered subwoofer. The RM7 satellite speaker. The RM7 satellite speaker's Reuleaux Triangular Polygon cabinet is extremely rigid and acoustically ideal for minimizing resonances and standing waves inside the speaker. The "boominess" that makes other small speakers sound "muddy" is avoided, and what you hear is superior, uncolored performance and lifelike imaging. It features Polk's Dynamic Balance technology, with a 2.5-inch composite driver and a woven silk dome 12mm tweeter producing a warm sound that's also full of clarity and transparency. The Polk Audio RM705 5.1-channel surround sound speaker set (see larger image). The RM7 center channel speaker is a perfect match to the RM7 satellites. Use it as a center channel or add it to a 5.1 system to make a 6.1 system and you'll have true surround sound, great for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Anti-Diffraction Baffle Exhaustively tested and modeled to produce the sophisticated acoustic sculpting, the anti-diffraction baffle delivers the largest possible dispersion pattern with virtually no edge diffraction or distortion. The wide, lifelike soundstage proves that you can have small speakers without sacrificing big sound. Composite Driver Technology Working in tandem with the shape of the compact enclosures are specially engineered drivers made from strong composite materials. Polk Audio's patented Dynamic Balance technology scientifically tunes these driver materials to produce an excellent flat frequency response, with sharp detail, transparent imaging and the ability to play loud without any strain, something you won't find in other small speaker systems. RM sound is always clean, clear and effortless. These are small speakers that can really keep up with the action on your big screen. Multiple Mounting Options Put them on the TV stand. Put the Center Channel Speaker right on the TV. Put them on stands next to the TV (use Polk Audio's own custom-designed SA Stands, made to compliment the look of the RM speakers). Hang the speakers on the walls. Use articulating brackets to aim them perfectly. RM Series speakers weigh just 3lbs, so you can put them virtually anywhere and move them easily.
