This
Logitech sound system is definitely a good choice. As usual Logitech unveils
a stylish product with a nice design combined to relatively reduce overall
dimensions. Compared to other sound kits, the Logitech XTrusio DSR100 offers
several exclusive features like: the digital SPDIF connector that delivers a
PCM Stereo sound without any distortion (habitually reserved for expensive
kits), and the very handy ‘SoundTouch’ remote unit. Concerning the quality
of the sound, this kit is worthy of Logitech’s reputation. It just works
like a charm except when you exaggeratedly set the volume too high: in this
case the sound will be saturated and too loud. This crippling limitation is
quickly forgiven considering the quality offered by this neat designed
system. Affordably priced at $180, this sound system combines an innovative
design to an incredible sound, making it the perfect companion for every
multimedia PC.
