This game was built with issues and sent out with issue. it is a bad sign when it requires a 15 GB patch in the first week. The game seems poorly built and not well thought out. I will play it because I paid for it but I am not enthused.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Banana clips are the best way to connect speakers to a receiver. Some are better than others. These were a little cumbersome on the first wire but got easier with experience. Nice solid connection.

I purchased this receiver open box. However, it has turned out to be an outstanding receiver. It connected easily and quickly. Using HDMI Arc is a great time saver. The sound is top notch. I would recommend this brand receiver to anyone.

What is the impedance of the speakers 4, 6, 8 ohms etc., and are they wall mountable?

The sub is 6 ohms and the satellites are 4 ohms.

The satellites all have the standard screw attachment.

I know you can connect different devices to these speakers but how about 2 computers so I can share the surround between 2 of my systems?

I have it hooked up to my gaming computer using the primary Intel HD audio connections and I also have it hook up to my work computer via 3.5 mm to RCA inputs on the sub. I listen to music on it while working and it sounds great. Better from the primary inputs, but still good.

How many watts is the subwoofer?

The subwoofer is 165 watts.

Not enough in my mind for supporting home theater, but I have the sub less than 2 feet from my chair and it is really solid for computer gaming.

Can I use this system with a television?

Provided your TV has the proper out puts you can input it into the system.

Though I do feel it is set up best for a Computer. The input from your TV could use the digital audio inputs or from the TV's headphone jack

there is no HDMI

Does it have a bass knob or settings to adjust bass like other Logitech speakers?

There is a button on the remote to adjust levels.

You have the ability to independently adjust the Center, Sub, rears (both together) and fronts (both together)

I have the sub on the floor next to my chair and I can feel the vibration.

I see it’s out of stock. Do you plan to ever carry again?

They were out of stock when I found out about them. I put them in my saved area and set it up for notification. I received the notice and purchased them immediately. There must have been only one becuase I looked again in a few minutes and it said out of stock

I saw on the logitec website these speakers for 399$. Why are these so cheep here? Are the these brand new or Fixed??

I got them brand new from BB priced at $299. I was also curious as getting brand new or open box. The system was brand spanking new and did not look touched at all.

Would this be compatible with a Dell XPS 8900 Desktop. It has Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller. Processor is Intel i7-6700 CPU @3.4 GHz. Could this SSD be plugged in and designated as the boot up device ? Thanks!

You will need to see if your computer has an available PCI Express 3.0 slot available

From what I can see on the specs for this computer it should have one.

However, I would recommend having a Geek Squad member do the work for you.
Installing the card is pretty easy. But the process of switching it to the boot drive is more tricky.

It may be more cost effective to buy a new computer.
