I don't know about those systems. I have a Bose 5.1 system and the Monoprice is almost as good.

I never had a sound bar before. I was using the Energy - Take Classic 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System with 200W Subwoofer. These were fantastic for the price $399. I built a home with 18 foot ceilings so the energy speakers would not work in that room. I bought the Sharp 80" LED and put the 9000 under it. I feel the sound quality is great. The the whole package is a great addition to our house. If my room was compatible with the Energy speakers, I would have used them.

I can't really compare the new to the old however, I will say that they are an excellent choice for rear surround speakers in a 5.1 Home Theater setup. I have had several other rear surround speakers over the past few years and these for the money, are tough to beat. The build quality seems solid and there is good sound clarity. I have been very pleased with them so far.

I have small in wall speakers in my house. They sound great, but I also Have a zone2 with old yamaha floor speakers that sound equaly good. Get the best you can afford. I also have an Epik 2x15 empire sub. Best purchase in my life. expensive but well worth it.

Hi,I got the Energy take classic and Im very happy with those. Usually better speakers have more powerful magnets, and are wooden made, hence the weight of those would be higher. This is how I added yet another factor to choose by, hope this helpsAviv

I can't say for sure, I have run a pair of Boston Acoustics CR6 8 ohms 6" Drive and piezo Tweeter not sure on wattage they are and a pair of GLI Pro XL-850's 8" Drive piezo tweeters 8 ohms 300 watts. Got good volume and EQ a little over 3/4 turned up. I do house partys and it ran grate for a good 5 hours with out getting hot. Now I'm power hungry and am looking towards 3000 watt we'll see, I just want to rock the house not blow out the windows. Well anuf for now good luck spin spin spin. AJ DJ KNOTMAN

I'm returning my energies right as we speak.. and gonna give these a shot, my energies sounded crisp clear and beautiful with my polk fronts and hafler sub.. but a normal levels certain frequencies had them buzzing and popping..... in a tiny room they might do ok as 7.1 one with better fronts and sub like I said.. but on there own or in a full size living room they are completely worthless to me

Hi John, I am using this as a bedroom system and am powering a pair of Paradigm MK5 SE speakers (small towers) with it. I am running it through a DAC and just using a extra iPod as the source. It fills the large bedroom with beautiful sound and stout bass. You will want to make sure that your speakers have a relatively high sensitivity number - probably 87 or higher for best results. It really helps to smooth out the sound from a digital input. My father-in-law was so impressed with the sound, he just got one to power his Martin Logan bookshelf's. I have not tried to use it as a preamp, so can not comment on that. Overall, it's a great little piece for the price.

The Z623 get my vote. As mentioned in my review, every time I adjusted the Klipsch speakers I tested they gave me static feedback every time I went to tweak them. Even my 12 year old heavily used and abused $50 Logitech X220 speakers don't do that.

Logitech does not make any speakers that can come anywhere close to having sound quality on par with the cheapest set of Klipsch speakers. Forget everything you've seen about the amount of power because that doesn't tell you anything about how well it well sound. Both speaker systems get plenty loud. If you don't believe me, buy both and return the Logitechs after you realize how terrible they sound in comparison.

I've never compared them, but the Logitechs rock. I own both the Z623s and the Klipsch Promedia 2.1s, and the Logitechs are noticably better, especially on the bass end. The z623s offer 330 watts of peak power (200 watts RMS) and a 7 inch woofer, so be prepared to get plenty of complaints in you're in a dorm. :)

There is definitely a difference between the '600WH and the '800WH. The '800WH has a fuller and richer sound. For that reason I use the 2x '800WH up front and 4x '600WH as the surround speakers.

The built in speakers are very good. I have found that the IR wireless ones are better for me for two reasons. 1) the privacy of stereo sound is superb and I don't bother anyone else, and 2) when my grandkids are using them, I don't have to listen to MEGAMIND for 8 solid hours as they replay it over and over and over while I'm trying to drive. Stop the insanity. It's not spoiling the kids, it's spoiling you. Don't you deserve to relax while you drive? As long as they're listening to it, they're not begging for every McDonald's they see on the billboards. Spend the extra few bucks per child and they won't do to you what you did to your parents.

I've been quite pleased with mine. I generally keep the gain pretty low, especially when listening to music because it tends to rattle things in our kitchen cabinets. It doesn't hit like my old Cerwin Vega 15s. But it's much more well rounded for multipurpose home theatre, and takes up a lot less space.

Using the Energy ESW-8HG 8" 200 watt Take Classic subwoofer - just because I like to pair things if I can, sounds very good overall.Enjoy

Well I have a set of aperion verus forte speakers. I love how they sound with my 818. Crystal clear. I have them in a large bedroom. I didn't have the cash for the grands. They're pretty back ordered though. They also have an awesome return/upgrade policy. Aperionaudio.com. Can't say for other brands though since I haven't heard others.

This is my only Logitech Bluetooth but I can tell you it is better than my under $100 wired speakers. I was very reluctant to do bt speakers. I Googled a fair amount of reviews specs etc then tossed caution to the wind. I am more than pleased.Something else - I have discovered these music players and equalizers are not so hot. I found that pre-set settings such as Middle or Normal give best sound. Your speakers will sound bad if you pump up the artificial bass (they are only software mods). Hope you make as good a choice for you as I did for me.
