Wow, it's been a long time since I've reviewed speakers from Logitech. The last time, it was the Z-5500s and they were pretty awesome. Well, the successor has finally been announced today.

The Z906 speakers give you 500W of power and is THX certified. The subwoofer alone outputs 165 watts. These puppies are made for the living room and you can hook up to six devices at once giving you some nice flexibility. There's a remote to help you control the set from far away.

If you're interested, it's going to cost you $349.99 but will be available this month. I can't wait to check these out.
