Looking for Z5300

[royal]

Well the title says it all...I am looking for Logitech Z5300. I know it's been discontinued but every now and then I keep hearing about old stocks. However my serach to get one in Kolkata has been unsuccessful so far Actually I got one but then it came sans the 2 year warranty

So can any of you (maybe other than WB) get a Z5300 and ship it ? (Maybe I am asking too much here )

If this doesn't work out I have to go for X540 since Z5500 would be overkill for my small room and G51 isn't a good VFM IMHO.

I am at a loss why Logitech discontinued this model

aah, yess! He is right. Sooner or later, i was going to suggest u the same thing. But, i thought may be that'll save u the money!
Ok, u can invest into another X540 piece including a descent 5.1 soundcard. Plug, the speakers to the card using a connector splitter i.e. (one male ->two female)! Even, i have done the same thing to my theater setup! However, i was more specific about each channels!
U know the X540 RMS! Theoretically, u should be getting double the RMS!! But, practically, better loudness and sound reproduction, instead! Plus, there are more options with two X540 systems to increase and utilize the available space and thus enhance the surround effect! I mean...there are more options to place the satellites as u have pair of them each.
Think about it...

u can paek to higher volume with less distortion.
get an X-fi xtreme audio for 4k.
so 4.5+4.5+4=13k
bit higher than Z5300 w/o sound card. The former will rock with that X-Fi.

4K...aah...still costly for a soundcard...ehh?
i mean, i seriously dont want to spend that much on a Soundcard!
Can u suggest me good soundcard within 2.5K at max?? Or do you really think that going with X-Fi Extreme Audio is worth it?

X-fi's crystallizers brings life to ur Mp3. Most other cards dun do much on Mp3s. Just bring some dent effects o DTS nd Dolby.

Xtreme music is the cheapest X-Fi in the series.
