SVS SB/PB-2000 vs Logitech Z906? How much better?

[TommyTwommy]

Just got these today. I'm literally speechless. I've never experienced such clearness and fullness (whatever the corrects words are) in the mids and highs. Its not louder, you can just hear so much more.

 

Although I am having problems with monitor controls. I have to change volume of each separately. How do I link them together using the stereolink inputs. I've tried OUT RIGHT -> IN LEFT with and without unbalanced in from the subwoofer plugged in, but it doesn't work.

 

The connections were completely wrong. This is how it is suppoused to connect judging by the manual (first time I used one in my life) and it works that way.

I've decided to go with the A3X & PB-1000. I've only heard good things about them so far. And they will probably fit my desk. Is it a problem if I put them on their side or does it ruin sound quality (I purchased foam pads from thomann in the bundle)?

 

Do I need any additional equipment or will I be able to connect these 2 and get them to work without any audio interfaces?

Congrats on the new sub!  I did something almost exactly the same last month.  I've been rocking the Logitech Z-5500 in my living room for years now - and to slowly lean into this expensive hobby, I bought the sub and the receiver, and used my existing speakers.

 

I picked up a SVS PB-2000 Pro (freaking sick) and a Marantz SR5013 (found a killer deal on a factory refurb) and then paired that with the FL, M, FR speakers from the Logitech Z-5500 until I can afford to upgrade the speakers in the future.

 

I was then able to take the interface, the sub, and the remaining 2 speakers from the Logitech system and make a really nice 2.1 system in the office.

 

Best of luck!
