Guys you are great....
But mine is a small room..
Here is my questions...

Do i need a amp for such a small room and my budget is around 15k or say i can extend upto 20k...thats the max...
My PS3 got optical output...will that be equal to hdmi output? Or less?
Do i need av receiver?
And i definitely need a wireless solution... Coz i cant get wires to rear speakers..
So i am willing to spend more on wireless plus PS3 compatible speakers...

Help me guys...

Logitech Speakers Price list

quoted price for Z5500D is 18150
When a company quotes its price direct on internet then there is actually no need of thinking about digit's price. Market price is always lower

Sorry Brother but in price range of 15K you can't get Optical Input supporting speakers let alone the Wireless thing, BUT since you have mentioned that you can stretch your budget to 20K then go ahead and buy Logitech Z5500D speakers for 18K, which gives you Optical Input but wireless and yes Optical output sound is much better than HDMI.

Beware- Since you say you have a small room, be ready to clean shattered glass from your room as Z5500D has a 187Watts RMS Subwoofer which can kick out your lil' pets with an eaze.

Z5500 is a boom-boom. Nt sweet bass. If its a smal room. Y ppl suggestin 500w monster.

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Because the guy's priority is Optical Input and then Wireless which can't be fulfilled in his budget. If you know a speaker system in this price range that supports both plz do tell us
BTW " Z5500 is a boom-boom. Nt sweet bass. If its a smal room. Y ppl suggestin 500w monster." There's always a Volume Control Knob

Thanks guys..
One more .. For wireless speakers should i have to recharge them or battery?

 

[Plasma_Snake]

If you are going for the Logitech Speakers then no need to worry about the wireless thingy as it ain't Wireless, BUT if you do manage to get both the things in some other Speaker set then yeah, Wireless speakers have their own batteries which can be replaced after being drained out.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

Isnt creative z5500 is wireless?

I need a wireless one...
Coz i got a 5.1 from philips and the wire they provided where not enough for the rear speakers....
Thats why i am going for wireless...,
If we need to change batteries means , how long they last?
Does anyone have a wireless speakers...please comment on
This...

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Its Logitech Z5500D and its NOT Wireless. If you want wireless you might have to sacrifice the Optical support in your price bracket.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

Well then does it support hdmi then?
Please suggest anyother speakers which are wireless...and good one too.. With opticall or hdmi input

Then how much lenght does it support...?

Are you sure it isnt wireless... Coz i read somewhere its wireless

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Lemme lay it out straight to you:

1. Logitech Z5500D is the speaker set(5.1)which supports Optical Input and costs Rs18 k
2. Speakers supporting Wireless satellites are costly and above ur price range i.e. 20K
3. No Speaker system in India Supports HDMI input natively, you'll need an HDMI Input/Output capable AV Receiver which is gonna blow a huge hole in your pocket.

Please refer back to one of my earlier posts where I've layed out all the options for you.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

Thanks..do you own this speaker?if so tell of low long the rear wires are

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Well when I had to buy 5.1 for my system they were priced at friggin' 28K I'll be buying my PS3 after my exams which end on 28th June. Hope to buy them after that.
Wires for satellites are pretty long, check April Digit for their review or the link below:

Also a fellow Digitian goobimama had them try to contact them if you want personal views.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

Thanks...is there a way to increase the length if we want? Will that have to include av receiver or simply just tie the wires? I know that joining two different material wire will result in bad performance...any suggestion if i want to extend the length...
And can someone help me where i can find this model in chennai?
Any good retail shop?

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Well to increase the length simple patchwork will deteriorate the aesthetics but you can try soldering it or depending on the type of connectors for the satellites you can try Male-Female-Male Patching. The speaker system has 500W RMS power which makes it ample for length upto 5-6 meters. You say u have small room then why worry about the length. You'r in luck as the best I.T shop in your area is present and is selling Logitech Z5500D for 18K. Here's their address and web link:
