 If you care about audio quality, don't buy these s ... Strengths: Price
Weaknesses: Poor sound quality, no way to control subwoofer from center contols
Summary: If you care about audio quality, don't buy these speakers. The subwoofer works nicely but the satellites provide little to no middle and lower frequencies. They are very "tinny" as in a tin can. Its also annoying to have to reach under the desk to change the volume on the subwoofer. Spend a bit more and get somthing you'll enjoy better.

Strengths: Low price, long wires
Weaknesses: Subwoofer control is not on the central speaker
Summary: I bought these speakers to replace my Creative iTrigue speakers (which by the way are great speakers). The sound quality is not exactly out of this world, but it is very good. They don't crack even at full volume.
Great points of the speakers, apart from the sound qualitiy, is that the wires to the rear sattelites are 10 feet long and all wires are colour coded so installation is easy (takes 2 mins).
The speakers don't really have any major weaknesses. The only inconvenience is that the subwoofer control is at the back of the subwoofer and the LED on the central speaker glares in your face so you will have to cover it with sticky tape or something.
To get the best out of them speakers, mess around with the volume controls and your sound card software.

Strengths: Great bass, mids, highs.. everything.
Weaknesses: None.
Summary: I actually paid full price for these speakers because I was too excited to try out my new SoundBlaster Audigy 2 card to wait 2 weeks for them to ship. And, much to my non-surprise, they turned out to be worth the full $99. About a week ago I purchased a set of Creative 5.1 speakers, and was thoroughly unimpressed--the bass was lacking and the drivers on the satellites seemed incredibly weak for a 75-watt system. The Logitech Z640's, on the other hand, boast a meager 51 watts and make the most out of each one. I have a 600 watt Kenwood system in my room and I actually prefer listening to music on these (maybe b/c of the SoundBlaster, but still...) They are great for games, movies, music--anything you want. Buy these speakers, you can get them for insanely low prices and they are worth whatever you pay.

Strengths: Amazing sound clarity at higher volumes, powerful + clean sounding subwoofer, great value!
Weaknesses: A little tricky to setup with Audigy soundcards
Summary: I have absolutely NO complaints about these speakers! None! Amazing clarity, easy to use controls, immersive gaming, and with a little trial and error in setup with my Audigy 1 soundcard, these babies provide the greatest bang for the buck! Loud, proud and stylish 5.1 speakers for under 60 bucks...What a buy!

Strengths: Nice sound, easy to install, and reasonably priced.
Weaknesses: Not the most powerful sound system you can get.
Summary: The Z640 5.1 Speaker System from Logitech will give you very good quality for the price you will pay (watch for good deals on the Web, you can find it new at 40% off the manufacturer's recommended price). I have used the system for video games (Xbox), music, and DVDs, and I've been quite happy with the results. A very good purchase as far as I am concerned!

Strengths: Great price. Easy to set-up. Compact size makes them easy to deploy, but still gives full-size sound. Subwoofer is really good.
Weaknesses: None. Just need a 5.1 card to take advantage of the surround sound.
Summary: These speakers are an unbelievable good buy - got em for under 50 bucks on PriceGrabber. Was a little worried that at that price I would regret it. Added a Sound Blaster card (for $60) and I have awesome surround sound and am loving it! What a great buy! I highly recommend these.

Strengths: Plenty of power for a small to mid sized room, Easy setup, Nice sound, and not too much hissing, cheap.
Weaknesses: Sattellites can not pivot, Subwoofer volume control is not on the center speaker
Summary: These speakers are awsome. For any person who is looking to get 5.1 for their computer, these are the ones to get. They are very good for their price. They work pretty darn good when I'm playing DVD's on my computer. Also, they are very nice for music.
However some problems arrose within the 2 weeks I have had them. Not very major but still notible. I had to pull out the center speaker cable from the subwoofer to move something, and when I tried to put it back, it refused to stay in the socket. I had to push really hard to keep it in their while titening the screws to keep it snug. Also, their is some hissing. Not enough to annoy you, but enough to notice sometimes.
If you are looking for a great speaker system for your computer and you don't want to spend to much money, these are the ones to get. If you want a more higher end speaker system, and pay attention to the quaility of the noise, then get the Z-680. Overall, I highly recommend this system.
