In the end, when all is said and done, we ended up with two minuses. One is short cables and the other is modes. If your room is smaller first minus won’t be a problem for you. But, the second reproach will. “Matrix” and “Music&rdq...
Abstract: Video Review: Kudos goes to Logitechs G51 speaker system. A well-priced, great sounding, surround sound speaker system for your computer. The controls are great too, although the speakers didnt come with mounting brackets. Check out our review to se...
Lots of power, Matrix surround works well, Great controls
No wall-mounting hardware included, Subwoofer is decent but not super-powerful
The G51 is a very attractive package for the money and leaves us very little to complain about. It provides better-than-average sound quality and power, and is reasonably affordable too, slotting in perfectly between the high-end Z-series speakers and ...
