Only 3.5 high, the ZVOX Z-Base 555 home theater system can be placed beneath your flat-panel TV - so you can have surround sound without adding a lot of clutter to your room. It requires no external speakers, subwoofer or speaker wires. The 555 reproduces TV shows, music and movie soundtracks with lifelike accuracy - including crystal-clear vocals and thunderous bass. And the ZVOX Phase Cue virtual surround system delivers remarkable three-dimensional sound. The entire system-speakers, amplifier, virtual surround technology and powered subwoofer-fits into the super-slim cabinet. With only one connecting cord and a one-page owner's manual, it is truly "plug and play." The cabinet is robustly constructed using fully-braced MDF (medium density fiberboard) - not molded plastic. Beautiful hand-lacquered high-gloss ebony end panels create a stylish look.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Want a more streamlined home theater? Get this!
First, a little background. I had a Bose 5.1 System with a powered sub woofer that everything went through. From there, it went to my Sony receiver. For me, a parent of three young kids (one under 2), I wanted to get something more streamlined, something more straight forward. I was looking to remove the clutter of the satellite speakers, the large center speaker and the miles of wires that connected everything.
After reading an article last month on cnet.com about the Zvox systems, I went with the 555. It came in the mail four days after I ordered it. It took about 3 minutes to connect it to my Samsung 46" LED. One optical audio cable to the back of the TV, the other end to my 555. That was it! My FIOS and Panasonic Blue Ray HDMI cables stayed where they were. It works perfect and sounds amazing. When my wife and I watch TV and movies at night, we only turn it up to 14-16 or so and it is more than sufficient. The volume gets up to over 25 (I think). I haven't...

Fantastic product and great value
Here's my take on the ZVOX ZBase 555
I have owned many sound systems over the years for different rooms to serve different purposes, let me start out by saying I have this ZVOX 555 in a medium sized great room that is basically wide open on all ends. A 5.1 satellite system is not an option with the architecture of this room, so for years I had a Bose 321 system set up in this room. That system was adequate, but always seemed to lack the clarity of vocals from the perceived center channel, when we would crank it up a bit for movies or music.
For about 1/3 the price of that Bose 321 system, this ZVOX 555 completely obliterates it. The ZVOX is incredibly easy to setup (took approx 15 minutes). You hook all your components to your TV, then run one single optical audio cable to the ZVOX. There are other inputs available on the ZVOX as well for older audio products that only connect via the red/white RCA cables, but if you hook everything up to any modern TV with...
Happy wife, happy life.
The Zvox 555 is an excellent compromise solution for the middle-aged man who wants to stay married. My previous set up of about 8 yrs was a 6 speaker Polk Audio system that included towers up front and a 12 inch sub that could muss up your hair. Now after a major renovation of our home, dear wife, who never dug the whole surround thing anyway, banished this so-called "dorm room" aesthetic from the new decor. Women! Phffft...
Enter the Zvox 555 which I set up last night and put through it's paces. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase. As others have cautioned, it's important that you don't expect this to compare to an actual surround system. Better to think of this as a very nice upgrade for your TV speakers. Having said that, there's a lot here to be happy about beyond price, form factor and ease of set-up. The Zvox seamlessly integrates with your TV remote which means even dear wife will use it each time she watches TV. The clarity of dialogue with the Zyvox 555 is...
