Logitech Z506 gives 75W of surround for $100
Logitech this morning added a lower-cost, multi-role surround sound speaker system to its lineup. The Z506 produces 75W of power across a 5.1-channel speaker set. For input, it takea both a typical 3.5mm minijack for a computer or MP3 player as well as RCA cables for direct analog surround input from a game console or home theater system.
The audio system should reach US shelves sometime in August and will carry an official $100 price.

No Optical Audio...
Without optical audio you can't use actual 5.1 surround on any macs except the Mac Pro, and at that you need to buy a sound card that has the three 3.5 sound jacks. So i guess the z5500 is still the only speakers that you can buy from logitech that have optical audio in...
