I must admit, I was more than a bit sceptical when I saw that Dell made a set of 5.1 speakers with a total power output of 100W. Dell are renowned for their PC Systems, but I never imagined they would start producing speaker systems!

Let's start with what you see when you open the box. I must say, I was very impressed with the way Dell had packaged the kit. Each speaker had it's own little moulded holder in the polystyrene packing, and the subwoofer was packaged with protective film and the some very thick polystyrene board.

Each wire is colour-coded, making it easy for anyone to wire the speakers up. Photo-type connectors reside on the ends of the satellite speaker leads, which plug firmly in to the back of the subwoofer with a satisfying 'click'.

There are 2 leads to use whilst connecting the PC - One for systems with a 5.1 sound card, comprising 3 stereo jack plugs, and one for standard 2 channel sound cards, which joins the 3 stereo jacks into just one. Ideal for laptops or older PCs!

Once the whole system is set up as desired, all that remains is to fire the system up, and give it some music to chew on! and what an experience...

What struck me as most impressive was how low the subwoofer was able to go. It really is unbelieveable what £50 ish will buy you nowadays! My £150 Monitor Audio Bronze B1 Speakers (See my other reviews) only just beat the low notes this set can deliver, which is rather worrying really, to say the least.

Overall sound quality is excellent with music, with the satellites giving it all they've got in Pop, Hip-Hop and Rock music. The subwoofer and satellites seem to integrate seamlessly with each other, resulting in a very pleasing soundstage for any kind of music.

With movies, the 5650 can really start to stretch it's legs. When playing the film 'Titanic' you can really appreciate how wonderful this setup is, and how you have probably just spent the best £50 you ever will!

When you hear the 'THX Certified' introduction you will probably get very excited, and once the film starts with the underwater scene you (and your neighbours, if you live in a semi-detached house like me!) will be feeling the rumbles just as if you were there.

A great space-age design and an unusually attractive subwoofer really are the icing on the cake - Not only do you have a very capable setup, but a great looking one too!

I would just like to finish with one final phrase - "GET ONE NOW!"

Dell 5650 5.1 Speaker System
Review of Dell 5650 by dottymardon

Advantages: Great sound quality
Disadvantages: Rear speaker cables are a little short

The Dell 5650 5.1 Speaker system is truly an amaizing piece of equipment. With its own on/off button on a nifty "thin" speaker which clips onto any flat pannel monitor and bass volume button. The entire system is 19lbs. Each speaker is colour coder with its own plug,so installing it is really easy. The entire output of the system is 100watts, making it great for playing music or if you into pc gaming. The bass is unbelievable. Each speaker is ...
...x 9"; Center: 13" x 2.5" x 2"; Subwoofer: 5.1" x 7.9" x 9.48" Response Bandwidth: 40 Hz - 20 KHz The great thing about this item is you dont need any extra sound cards as there is a card installed into the subwoofer, so only one wire goes to your pc and you are done. ... Read review

The Dell E520 - build your own PC
Review of Dell Dimension E520 by  Lizamabug

Advantages: Choose your own specs, reasonable price, good customer service
Disadvantages: Sneaky sales tactics in places

...reviews before you decide on this one. SOUND CARD No options here. There's integrated audio with Dolby Digital 7.1 capability included in the price and that's your lot. I've got no qualms with this one though and in fairness - how much can you expect to build on such a cheap and basic PC?! SPEAKERS Choose from no speakers (included in the price), Dell A225 stereo speakers for £5.87, Dell A525 speakers with subwoofer for £23.50, Dell 5650 5.1 surround speaker system for £41.12, Creative Inspire T7900 7.1 speaker system for £81.07, Dell AS501 soundbar for £35.25 or Logitech Z-5400 5.1 for £186.82. I apologise if this sounds OTT but who in their right mind would spend nearly £200 for speakers on a £300 PC? For goodness sakes buy a stereo! I opted for the sensible £5.87 basic speakers here and I've not been disappointed. They... Read review

Review of Dell Dimension 8300 - P4 2.4 GHz - 17" CRT by  aj4luton

...hard drive to fit those huge video files: a 120GB serial ATA hard drive. Last, but not least, a DVD writeable drive and video editing software is needed to create DVDs: 8X DVD + RW and Pinnacle Studio 9 software. As I was already spending so much money I decided to upgrade the memory card, purchase an 18" flat screen monitor and get the new Dell 5650 5.1 speakers. The package also included Windows XP Home Edition and Microsoft's Works Suite 2004, great! My computer was a dream machine. I was Stephen Speilhisface and I was crucing along fine with my new computer. The Dell 5.1 speakers blew me away and being such an audio expert the sound quality was crystal (I am not an audio expert!) Its 100 Watts of power blowing me away that's more than in a bad boy racers boot! Delivery was quick and easy and Dell delievered for me when I... Read review

Review of Dell Dell MMS 5650 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers by  RichPrice

Advantages: Exceptional Sound Quality
Disadvantages: None

...won't go there) could set it up. First Job, to rearrange my desk to fit the subwoofer on it. Basically all the speakers plug into the subwoofer which in turn plugs into the mains and into the pc. Then to plug it all in. I have to say that Dell have an excellent truly idiot proof system. Not only are all the cables colour coded to the relevant connection but also the connections are designed in such a way, they have little knobbly bits, which make it impossible to plug a speaker into the wrong connection on the subwoofer. Then plug the subwoofer into the cable that goes into the PC. Its' the one that reduces from 3 to 1. Set the speakers up. I have to say that something else that really impressed me about the surround sound speakers is how much cable they have. I could literally position them anywhere. Fortunately my main stereo has...
