Epic. Yeah the strange shaped ones supposedly look like the speakers in a movie theater. Supposedly. How true that is I can only take their word since I've not toughed theater speakers. Well I did 1 but not sure if it was a sub woofer or 1 of the hung 1s.

They have good highs and lows. There is a console and a remote. At first I was a little overwhelmed since I just lost the rest of my vision late in December and everything is red lights on this with no numeric read outs or any way of knowing how to assign individual channels except via those red lights. Then I read the PDF and it was very understandable and basically each button cycles through functions and now I don't need to worry about seeing any lights. I just know which button does what and if I forget I look at the cheat sheet I made for myself. The lower end models have strange shaped speakers that fall over but these are nice and heavy and square and will not fall over. They also have the real speaker connections and not the plug in cheapie jacks like you would get at a discount store. YouTube actually has several videos demonstrating them. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hamit Campos Sent: Friday, July 31, 2015 10:40 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Uncovering the cool new features of Windows 10 - Ooooo the Z906. I've heard of those, how good are they? How crisp? I like speakers with a lot of bass, but I also love a lot of highs. I know some hate too many highs, but you need them especially for things like that high screech that's almost a wistle to the roar of Godzilla 1998. How well does it do with it's channel asignments? It should do pretty well I should think cause I've heard 1 of the lower end 1s and it did pretty good. Pretty impressive. Wasn't too attracted to said system though cause it lacked bass and those super sharp highs you need for Godzilla 1998. Oh well I guess for that system. But seriously how is this? -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Merv Keck Sent: Friday, July 31, 2015 10:32 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Uncovering the cool new features of Windows 10 - Hi, Actually I have recently purchased a set of Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers with sub-woofer and Creative SoundBlaster Omni Surround 5.1 external sound card for my two laptops. I have an L shaped desk and I can switch the ten port powered hub between the two laptops easily or just run one off of a smaller USB sound bar if I need them both up at the same time. >From a PC audio perspective I can tell you that on this sound system with the external sound card which has a microphone on it, Cortana not only sounds great but is very responsive. I use Jaws 16 and Windows 10 on this system and can lean back in my chair and speak with absolutely no effort to Cortana whatsoever. I know often people recommend the biggest boys on the block when it comes to sound but I was on a budget this time around. I paid $72 for the sound card, $310 for the speaker system at amazon here in the United States and I am very happy with the sound and the quality. I live in an apartment and will never be able to go past half volume probably without getting evicted anyway, laughs! But it might be worth it. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: Friday, July 31, 2015 10:16 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Uncovering the cool new features of Windows 10 - Now before anyone starts blasting me, this article does have to do with pc-audio as you'll see, the article talks about the new Voice Assistant found in Windows 10. http://www.techguide.com.au/news/computers-news/uncovering-the-cool-new-features-of-windows-10/ -- ********** Those who don't need help are prepared to help themselves
