IF at all possible, try to get a listen to both speakers on the same system (Or at least same sound card).

Then pick the one that sounds best to you.

[Benssax]

Both of those are great systems.:t

two questions, do i need surround sound? or do i just need to hear "You've got mail! Whoop de doo!"

[Beeblequix]

I purchased my Creative Inspire 5.1 5300 series just two weekends ago. They're just right for my gaming needs. I paid $85 with tax retail; I'm sure you can do better than that online.

What kind of soundcard do you have? If you currently have a 5.1 or 6.1 soundcard spent the extra few dollars for the 5.1 or 6.1 setup. It's way nice having more speakers to position the bad guys with. :)

As far as those two setups, either will do just fine.

yes need the surround sound for my dvd's and games also i have the 5.1 soundcard allready but does anybody know if the z540's have long rear cords

[NJEnviroguy]

I know the 560's use standard speaker wire. Comes with a couple feet 4 times. So, if you need to run longer lengths you could simply buy some cheap stuff at a radio shack or similar. Again, that's with the 560's, but I couldn't see them hardwiring the 540's with a fixed length.

allready made my mine Z540's because of speaker mounts and sale on them this week. Going to get them tommorow. :D

[Tech^salvager]

Got the Z540's, they work out great and for anybody who wants to know the rear cords are long enough for a rear setup with stands.
also these are hookuped with rca cables not speaker wire
