Bij Dan’s Data is een review verschenen waarin een viertal speakersetjes bekeken worden. De slachtoffers zijn de Altec Lansing Select 4100, de Creative FPS1600, de Creative Inspire 5700 en de Logitech Z-560. Alle speakers worden uitgebreid besproken en daarnaast wordt er onder andere kritisch gekeken naar alle specificaties. De reviewer is het best te spreken over de Z-560 speakers van Logitech. De bas is relatief goed, de satelliet speakers zijn ook niet slecht en er wordt een handige remote control bijgeleverd. De conclusie van de reviewer:
The Altec Lansing Select 4100 is pretty, but an unexciting performer for the money. The 2100 seems like better value, but it's only a 2.1 channel system.
The Creative FPS1600 is good for the price, but not good in absolute terms. If you can't afford anything better, it doesn't suck. Just don't hope for too much.
Creative's Inspire 5700 has a great control unit, but a big price tag, and ordinary speakers. If it came with speakers as good as those in the Logitech Z-560 kit - even if the subwoofer had the same over-muscularity problem - then the 5700 would be excellent value. As things stand, for $AUD900 or so, it's not. If someone sells it for half that price, it'll be well worth it.
The Logitech Z-560 is a speaker system for bass lovers, but that's not all it is. It's not got the fancy surround modes of the Inspire 5700, but it's got much better speakers and a much better price tag. What's not to like?
