Which speaker set is superior in you guys opinion? The Logitech Z-680's or the Creative 550 Megaworks. The Megaworks are cheaper by about 50, and I hear they have better sound quality. I would like to hear other peoples opinions on the topic.

I've heard a lot of very good things about the Z-680's. They are Maximum PC's top pick for 5.1 speakers, and I've listened to them at the local Best Buy, and they do impress... for a price.

they are both good, but i would get the 680's, although they do have a slight hissing sound... but supossedly that was fixed

The z-680s because they have prologic and can have multiple input sources

yes, they also have that little decoder pod thing. they also look sexier, and are more powerful. The soundworks are rated at like 500w (RMS), but in reality it is quite a bit lower than that as this is only in 'burst' mode (whatever that means.)
Go with the 680's ;)

Well, I personally thought that the Creative Megaworks had far better sound quality (Close to Klipsch) All those features are just extras that would go unused also... So it's really hard to pick...
