You guys probably ought to realize that you can't get 500 W true rms of output power from an amp that only takes 150 W of input power. If you have a 500 watt amp that cost $500 and you see on the specs that it operates at a much lower input power, you can rest assured it cannot deliver that much output at a constant rate - however, if you paid $1000 or more for that amp, you've probably got a good one. Those logitech speakers have great sound, but most of their marketing is bull and there is no way they can justify the price they charge.
Also, 500 watts of audio is less than 7 dB louder than 100 watts. That's not a hell of a lot when you're already at 90 dB.
THX certification is not hard to obtain, just expensive to pay for. That's why THX certified speakers cost more.
Finally, 150 or 250 W speakers are absolutely useless when your amp can only output say, 50 or 100 watts per channel.
What you want to be looking at is the efficiency (sometimes called sensitivity) of the speakers, which is a measure of how loud the speakers actually are at maximum rated power. Wide frequency response is also good. Watch where your money is going folks!
I have reasonably good speakers (120 watt front, 100 watt center and rear) from Sony but hooked up to a crappy old 50 W (minus subwoofer) Creative DTT2500 Amp. This was mainly because I planned to purchase a better amp but ran out of money. However, it still "shakes the floor" at less than half volume. My friend has some ridiculous crappy 3 W per channel onboard amplifier (hooked up to bigass speakers) that shakes the floor too. IMO, Klipsch makes the very best home speakers.
