Onkyo vs Logitech

[chr_mar]

Im looking for a good but cheap 5.1/7.1 setup and I would like some advice and opinions on the two systems Im looking at right now. Whats better in your experience?? It will be used for XBOX 360 mainly. Thanks

1. Logitech z-5500 5.1 - $250
or
2. Onkyo ht-r550 7.1 - $150
or
3. Onkyo ht-sr800 7.1 - $450 (xtra $200 worth it ???)

Onkyo = AV/Hi-Fi
Logitech=Gaming/PC Peripherals.

Thats your answer.

And yes, 3. is worth it.

The bottom one looks nice, dedicated tweeters which the Logi's don't have, a raised sub - which the logi's dont have, two midrange drivers per unit - which the logi's don't have. Logitech most importantly produce no way near as good AV equipment as Onkyo, and rightly so.

Good, be sure to get in touch with me (pm, new post.. etc) on how they are. I'd be interested.
