3rd September 2009, a knocked came on my door in the evening. I dragged my sleepy feet to the door and opened it praying that it is not any of those door to door salesmen or I swear i`ll slam the door right on their face. Well well, I was surprised when I saw an UPS truck parked right in front of my house.. immediately the image of my ordered Z5500 Digital from Logitech flashed through my mind. And I was right! The UPS man opened the vehicle door and carried a huge box with the name Logitech printed over it. I was so so so excited. My speakers has finally arrived. I quickly signed the form and carried my precious treasure straight into my room without even thanking the man (too excited I guess).
The moment I opened the box.. LO and Behold the speakers were all bubble wrapped and was pleading me to open them up. Obviously, I complied without hesitation. There were a total of 5 speakers and 1 big subwoofer. A centre piece, front left, front right, rear left and rear right~ My first surround sound speakers. Oh~ did I mentioned it has a 2 years warranty which is really awesome. After 30 minutes of figuring and setting up my speakers I noticed that there is an adapter missing. Well Logitech did not provide that adapter so I planned in running to the nearest electrical shop to get it - a "Y" adapter it was called. I changed my clothes and ran out because it was nearly 5pm, and stores in the UK close around that time. Mother nature was against me that time, it was raining cats and dogs outside. Determined to get my speakers up and blasting I grabbed my 1 pound umbrella and headed off to town. I really should have invested in a better umbrella, the wind was so strong it blew my umbrella off~ Well almost...
I went to the nearest shop and they do not sell such adapter, so I hurried of to Curry`s to ask and to my dismay they too do not sell. But the sales assistant was kind enough to refer me to a shop named "Maplin" .. Well I do not know where on earth is this Maplin but he did gave me some directions which was not really useful. So there I was stranded in the middle of a heavy rain with a lousy umbrella with no sense of direction on where to proceed. After 45 minutes of walking and asking around I finally found my store. THank god I found what I was looking for in that shop. After paying with my debit card I rushed back and setup my speakers.
It powered up for the very first time and I was on Cloud nine when I hear the quality of music that was produced. Music was crystal clear... the Bass was astonishing good. I could tear my house down if I ever put it on maximum volume... Well, I am really satisfied with the speakers and so far no complaints...
For your pleasure.. I have uploaded some photo for you readers.
