Wireless Speakers Reviewed


This is the 1st review of a product that got a lot of attention a few months ago. With the ability to have rear speakers, with no wires, this speaker set has a really unique feature. Take a look if you've got $500 to spare.
The Z-5450 is a very good speaker system, powerful and capable of being adapted to a multitude of uses. It also scores points by virtue of its system of cordless connection to the rear satellites, which is a very practical feature. However, you have to realize that cutting these two cables comes at a price. This will be the weak point of this system, the balance between its market price and the importance that you give to this distinguishing feature. If cables don't annoy you particularly then be patient; Logitech will be releasing the wired equivalent of the same system a little later; the Z-5400 will have a substantially lower price - $299 instead of $499. Still, for the moment, if quick results are the order of the day, the increased price of the 5450 isn't excessive...
