I am looking for a 5.1 surround sound set which will be used for gaming, dvd's, general viewing, etc. I purchased an Xbox 360 bundle from Walmart which contains the Spherex set that is impressive, but I have the chance to return it in exchange for the the Logitech set for the same price if that is better. Seeing as I know very little about it, I am looking to see if any of you that are more familiar with sound systems could offer any suggestions.
The two choices are the Spherex 5.1 Surround Sound System and the Logitech Z-5500.
