The editors didn't like
Bass drowns out the rest of the sound in most scenarios
Subwoofer crossover seems to be set too high
Cables are permanently attached to speakers
Z5500 is just $60 more
And so much better
Short rear satellite speaker wires. Satellites sound a tad harsh and lack depth.
Controller isnt wireless and offers only power and volume options.
Not very loud
Limited speaker wire.
Soso sound. Subwoofer cable too short.
Not particularly detailed sound
Sub can sound muddy when pushed
No wall-mounting hardware included
Subwoofer is decent but not super-powerful
Lack of definition when listening to music or movies
Minor
Odd warbling effect when using “Game Matrix Mode”.

Matrix settings; easy access volume controls for centre, subwoofer and surround speakers; speaker and microphone mute buttons; price
Slightly muddy bass, colour The Final Word Gamers will love these speakers, even if audio aficionados dont. The G51 may not outclass the rest, but they deliver some bang for your buck.
