but but...

from z5500 to z906 a worthy upgrade?. Guess the connectivity options doubled. other than that?

 

[strategy]

^+1 .

you never know, logitech products are seldom upgraded.

the TF10 is still the flagship after soo many years.

Many things...

Better wall mounting.
Better integration of the central console (Not a solo stander)
Better lighting (Blue vs orange)

Note: All things are guessed from the official images.

@ Gannu; How did you find there are 2 toslink inputs...?

I think official specs are not out...

1. The old one was wall mounted just fine. unless they put a tripod style ball head stand no use.

2. True.

3. Pointless. Blue is more in the face kinda thing. sharp. Orange is blurry kinda thing. u need to focus. my experience is the g15 keyboard.

it gives out a eerie glow. But this is totally from my POV.

And does these warrant shelling out ~20k?.

Google. Helps.

Speaker System Z906

^^ If those are not important and If your's is still working fine, Then i think there is no Point.

 

[soumalidon]

Speaker System Z906

Check out the specs and gallery (back of the sub).

The Inputs is on the Central console and not on the SUB. The specs say it has two Optical inputs whereas one optical input on Z5500D. But the SUB in Z5500 features 187W RMS. The Z906 packs 165W RMS. In my opinion moving from Z5500 to Z906 is not worth. The features are almost the same. But if its priced arnd 100$ or 150$ lesser than the Z5500. Its a steal.

Why just HDMI?
Ask sub pre out, Video upscaling and multiple video inputs...

This is a Speaker for god sake and not a receiver.

Still its the Same price as Z-5500. 400$ hence it comes to 17,996 = 18,000/- there wont be much difference in the Indian Price too

Thnx for link though bro / i have not checked it . I am really happy with my Z`s for like 4 years now . Was planning to move to Swan`s but will wait for this one and see if this is really a successor .

I think the Z-5500D is priced at 500$ and 24K(MRP) in India. The market price is around 16-17K. The Z906 is priced around 400$, so we could expect it around 13-14K here in India.
