Initial Impression & Packaging:
Before I had any clue the massive size of this speaker setup I thought it would be a decent sized box, weighing maybe 30-40lbs. Boy was I wrong!! I got a call from the store today saying that something had come in for me from Logitech, I was excited that they came a day early (thanks UPS!). When I got down to the store, there was a monster box waiting to be picked up, I asked it was mine and one of my employees told me it was. Holy hell! I didn't take any measurements but the box is at least 3ft x 2ft x 2ft weighing in at a hefty 60lbs! Very impressive.
Underneath the brown shipping container is the retail box, very flashy indeed!
The packaging inside of the retail box is second to none... In fact they could probably ship these systems w/o the brown box if they wanted too. Thick custom molded styrofoam inserts are perfectly fitted to every piece in the box making sure nothing can shift in transit. It felt good knowing that as I dug further and further in to the box I wasn't going to find anything out of place or broken, the packaging job was just that good.
On the top level as soon as you open the box you find some cables, the control center, remote, and the center channel speaker. On to the next layer of styrofoam...
The second layer reveals the massive subwoofer and 4 main surround speakers. Again all wedged nicely in place as not to get damaged. Good job Logitech! I think that it's very important to know that a company doesn't skimp out on proper packaging of their products. I can remember countless times receiving things broken in transit not totally due to the carriers abuse to the package but the underfunded factory packaging.

Kick ass bro!
Good choice mate: bet they sound awesome!!
@Kemp: Bummer man, but there are some awesome 5.1 phones on the market!
Nice one Frag, it looks kick arse. Also, that sub looks totally solid and grunty. Nice review :cool:
Frag is right, there is no words to describe the sub, and the whole set is so entirely heavy I remember when I got it the UPS guy said WTF is in here!!!! :rollingla
rofl eguy, that's what everyone at the store was asking me when it came in... they're like what in the fuck did you buy this time? haha
:rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla !!!!!!
The problem with them is they are so lound you can get in serious trouble, I was reading a review where they guy said that his neighbors called the cops and reported that the music was too loud and they threatened to sue ROFL. I had a neighbor yell at me when I had my Z-5300e's and they aren't even close to the Z-5500's :D
