Surround-sound computer speakers are great for getting the best out of games and DVDs, but having wires trailing to each satellite speaker can be unsightly. Logitech's Z-5450 speaker set transmits an audio signal wirelessly to the two rear speakers, reducing clutter. The speakers were able to maintain a connection when placed more than 15m from their SoundTouch control centre, which looks smart and provides a simple control interface.

This set of speakers has been built to an extremely high specification, with a high power output and particularly clear and crisp sound across all frequencies. With multiple analogue and digital inputs, you can connect them up to a range of computer, home cinema and gaming hardware at the same time. The speakers are THX-certified and can decode Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround streams, making them perfect for connecting to a DVD player.

Whether you have money to spend on some high-end PC speakers, or you're after an affordable home cinema setup, the Z-5450s are ideal. While they're not exactly cheap, they're great value for a high-quality amplifier and speaker set that can handle everything you throw at it.
