I spent my past life adoring Z-5500D. Now there is a predecessor. Hope it lives up to the reputation of 5500D

Err predecessor..?

And thats bad news for Z5500 owners. :(
Logitech has altered system ratings in the new Z906. The old one has total 505W amplifier and that too of class AB! While the new one has 500W amplifier of class D rating.
Even the good ol' Z5500 has 3 yrs warranty in comparison to the new Z906's 2 yrs warranty!
Z5500 woofer has more power rating than the new one and so does the center channel.
From the review i found Z5500's wooden woofer casing much better than Z906's plastic one.

More to come when professionals share in reviews!
I dont know, i am disappointed.
