User Submitted Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-08-15 Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX... Well I ordered the ProMedia quite some time ago from Amazon based on all the reviews both here and a few other websites. Many people seemed to note the bad connector on the back as snapping off but I don't think its as much of a problem. For my use these speakers are much better than my old pair of Altec Lansing speakers. I live near a military base so my old speakers would pick up interference and other such things as CB radio transmissions and other things even when you turned them off which resorted to ripping the power cord out at times. They were not magnetically shielded and thankfully these are. There is no hiss either that I can notice with these when I plug in my IEM's. I really think the hybrid amplifier in these speakers is of good quality and makes a difference at least to my ears for my music on my pc vs out of my old pair. Yes these speakers are very good at reproducing accurate details and the subwoofer while it does seem to have some odd sounds at higher volumes (the bass level that is) it certainly seems to be very accurate and loud. I could hear the bass from my room all the way across the entire house. These things also get loud fast. Also the woofers and tweeters in these speakers are much better than my previous pair or any pair of speakers I have heard. The woofers really give punch and add a nice layer to the bass notes with the subwoofer and the highs are very smooth. Installation was very easy to do and I had no problems what so ever with anything. I followed the instruction for the hook up and had these up and running in 10 minutes. The construction quality and pack job is very good for a pair of speakers. I don't find the knobs to be something that will fall off either after use. I don't adjust the knobs that often rather I just turn the power off behind the subwoofer to shut the speakers off when I am done. Overall I would recommend these speakers to anyone wanting a worthy upgrade to there built in speakers or cheap computer speakers. If you are someone whom cares about sound and wants a system that can deliever a loud and realistic punch to your music and games then these are your speakers. My brother had the top Logitech model often compared to these and while they were good while they lasted (he blew them up) I would say these sound a bit more accurate. On a side note I would like to say I am someone who cares about sound and I have tested these speakers with my IEM's. I do have the Shure SE530 and when plugged into these speakers headphone output jack they do sound a bit better and have that extra power to drive the monitors. I also have the a pair of custom monitors which are the Sensaphonic ProPhonic 2X-S and they certain sound very clear and even more accurate than the Shure SE530's. The amplifier again in these speakers is very good for headphone use. Date: 2008-08-02 Klipsh vs. Logitech Klipsh Promedia 2.1 offers the best audio quality in its price category. I have tested it against Logitech Z-2300 and in the end decided to go with Klipsh due to its far superior sound quality while playing cds. However, Logitech is worth its price times over. I liked its sound while playing streaming audio files (56 Kb) - internet radio, youtube, e.t.c. For compressed files Logitech with wider musical spectrum seems (or sounds) to be a better choice than more directional Klipsh. I did have hard time deciding between the two while playing DVDs, Klipsh offers more detailed and clearer sound but seemed somehow less dimensional than Logitech. With Klipsh the dialog seemed to be coming from the bottom of the screen, where Logitech more accurately matched the picture. The thing that won me over to keep the almost twice expensive (must include extended warranty due to its notorious subwoofer problems) Klipsh was its unbeatable dominance with quality music. Logitech with its rather poor midrange was no competition. Playing CDs with Klipsh was a pure joy. The sound is very clear and warm, especially the vocals that sounded quite bland with Logitech just shined on Klipsh. So the final conclusion. I don't think it's right to say one is better than the other - both carry exceptional value and leave its competition in the dust. Considering the price difference I would recommend Logitech to anyone with preference for mp3, streamed audio or video. However, if you keep popping CDs into your system, Klipsh is the only way to go. Date: 2008-07-26 Good 2.1 system These speakers do sound great. Probably the best Sound for Price value out there. My initial review was in error due to the amplifier not being screwed down properly and part of the speaker was also not properly secured. This caused a serious distortion in the bassline and thus my initial thought that this was how they were supposed to sound. My bad. These cannot be beat for mids and highs quality. I dare anybody to get their Logitech, Bose, Altech etc. as loud (mids and highs that is). Bass line is also good for it's size (note I said good for it's size, it's a small speaker don't expect any super boomy bass out of it). Unfortunately after 1.5 months of use, the right mid range speaker was burnt out. I do play these speakers very loud for very long periods, so that could be one reaseon but nevertheless. All the other speakers still play but i know it will be a matter of time. I still have an issue with the amp placement. It has virtually no cooling and it can get VERY hot. I would have prefferd that they had some cooling fins on the outside of the sub like the Logitech Z-5500 sub. Overall except for the problems that I got. The system is a very good 2.1 system. My one wish would be that they re-design the sub and put a better cooling arrangement for the amp and make the whole thing even louder of course : )!! Date: 2008-07-21 Nice Sound Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black) These speakers are just right for my needs. I use them mainly listening to XMradio on my computer. They sound great and you only have three speakers to fool with. I did not want a lot of speaker running all over the room and I don't notice a lot of difference from my six speaker system. Date: 2008-07-18 Well WORTH the MONEY! Simply GOOD speakers!!--If you like a nice LOUD BASE these speakers are for you!!!--Plus the mini wire that works with the laptop,ipod,and flatscreen makes things easy and quick to alternate!
