These Speakers Go to 11

It has been a long-running joke ever since This is Spinal Tap became a staple of every college DVD collection that a speaker going to 11 is the epitome of audio prowess. Logitech has apparently released a set of speakers, the Z-5500s (big number, big sound!), that actually go to 11.

When I clicked on the article I was greeted by a sleek silver interface that would normally have driven my tech-geek mind crazy, but I have been utterly evangelized in the audio realm. Anything with silver knobs and plastic housings makes me reel in terror. I'm sure if you're used to desktop speakers the size of a deck of cards the Z-5500s do produce a "deep, rich and detailed sound." If you've ever heard a set of Blumenstein Ultra-Fi speakers then one look at the Z-5500s will induce you to utter that sound you make when you see a baby duck or a small child topple over and fall in the grass. Awwwww, that's cute. If that small child grew up to be a 6'6" Muay Thai kickboxer and started to beat you within an inch of your life, then you would have Blumenstein Ultra Fi. Check him out.
