Introduction
Earlier this year Logitech made a name for themselves with the release of their Xtrusio DSR-100 4.1 speaker system. The Xtrusio’s were a low cost 4.1 system that sounded good and received positive reviews. Earlier this year, Logitech also purchased longtime speaker company Labtec who was going through financial trouble. Labtec’s last speaker system before they were bought out was the Pulse 424’s which had a nicely powered subwoofer. For a while we haven’t heard from Logitech, who has released many budget speaker systems but doesn’t have a high end product to compete with offerings from Klipsch.
After a long wait, Logitech is back in the game with their latest addition to their already great line of speakers. Dubbed the Z560, they’re Logitech’s introduction into the high-end speaker market competing directly against the Klipsch Pro Media 4.1 and Altec Lansing 641’s.
Let’s take a look at them…
The Z560’s come with 4 satellites (2 not pictured), a subwoofer, speaker cables, and wired control unit. The Z560’s have a total power output of 400 watts RMS. The system is THX certified, which means it meets George Lucas’s requirements to be certified. This really doesn’t mean anything nowadays and is more of a marketing tactic.
