Logitech

A 5.1 system with no receiver, and the Squeezebox

By

In brief

Logitech on this site: the Z906 THX 5.1 system, not sold new on Amazon.com, and the discontinued Squeezebox player at $397.34 from a reseller. Reviewed here: Logitech Squeezebox, Logitech Z906 5.1 THX Speaker System. 1 of the 2 had an Amazon.com offer on October 25, 2026.

What it makes, on this site

Two products. The Z906 is a complete 5.1 system: four satellites, a center and a subwoofer that holds the amplifier, with THX certification and Dolby Digital and DTS decoding built in. The Squeezebox is an 802.11g network music player with a 24-bit DAC that plays a computer library in FLAC and MP3.

Why the Z906 stands apart

Most 5.1 packages are passive and need an AV receiver. The Z906 does not, which makes it the simplest real surround setup for a TV with an optical output. It has no HDMI, so no Dolby Atmos.

Where to buy them

The Z906 had no seller on Amazon.com on October 26, 2026; our home cinema systems shelf has systems sold in the US. The Squeezebox line was discontinued by Logitech; the only offer that day was a reseller’s, at $397.34, far above what current network players cost.
