Then unpacking we still notice a slightly recessed finish from the previous model namely the Z5500. Feet satellites give way to plastic glides, there now finds a grid instead of a beautiful fabric, the pod has been simplified with a LED display (on the Z5500 many users have had problems with pod display), the subwoofer lost in diameter and volume, on the latter there are more cooling rack, the remote has been simplified but the whole remains beautiful to see and fits perfectly on the office / lounge. Gros missing HDMI forcing pull a cable to each source. But a few additional connectivity are significant including two optical.
So at installation, with the number of cables must be cunning to actually do something about clean, I personally have not used the cables supplied I preferred the flexible cable loudspeaker to 0.75mm² minimize losses and to have a practical side. That said installation is quick and simple, it takes about twenty minutes if there is no fixings to the walls. One branch and it works. For my part I connected with my sound card jacks preferring to decode and manage the effects (the Z906 is just amp office at that time). That said if your sound card is medium or low quality and if it provides an optical digital output, choose this connection to take advantage of the Z906 integrated decoder.
Finally comes the tests after a few adjustments of the volume of the box, rear and central satellites, indeed, before the satellites are not adjustable in volume. Enjoying low volume all sounds effectively emerge clearly very net and without force. Acute is soft without tickling the eardrums, mediums are very present fairly and of course the bass are accurate and impactful, but you lose this captivating and profound sense of the large subwoofer Z5500. But no worries it hits hard there under the pedal, grinding forces (yes like any subwoofer there is a break of twenty minutes to perform before the big nag ...) we like to low volume without not enjoy. (Beware neighborhood who may appreciate moderately ...)
Musically and for films or games that Z906 is still impressive and really has nothing to envy to the Z5500 for benefits. Pc This kit is very good quality / price / performance ratio and recommend PC users who want big sound quality. But beware keep in mind that it will never replace a real hi-fi amplifier or home theater worthy of the name. Here, the Z906 is an ultra efficient amplifier type D advertised RMS powers are with 10% THD (where THD, Total Harmonic Distortion) is not very faithful sound reproduction as this level of power so it does you no good push beyond the 3/4 power this kit also well before that level you will already illegal.
Finally we have a feeling that Logitech wanted to save by reviewing certain elements at a discount, but when listening by making its settings with onions there is nothing in the sound is there. It sounds great. Too bad for small concessions vis-à-vis the Z5500.
