User Submitted Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2010-05-23 Klipsch Pro Media Sleeper! I have used many PC speakers in my day Bose, Logitech, many more. None can equal the sound and power that these 2.1 speakers can produce. The bass is so powerful they startle you at first you would not think such a small subwoofer can create such bass. I can safely say these are the best 2.1 speakers on the market today. Date: 2010-05-21 Amazing, with the bass up, you can hear these throught about 4 rooms, NICE speaker set, you can feel the bass through your body, very crisp sound. Sorry to hear about others having failures within a few months. I bought mine two years ago and I use them Alot. Those with failure units must be dealing with horrible re-sellers because theses speakers are worth more than the price. I purchased a 2.1 200watt logitech set for about $160 and they did not hit as hard or as loud and clear as these. Anyone looking for a rich quality 2.1 solution you have found them. Date: 2010-05-16 Great speakers but poor electronics. I bought these 2.1 speakers a little more than 2 years ago to replace a 4.1 set of Klipsch speakers that the front speakers stopped working.I never opened the subwoofer to see what burnt and purchased the 2.1 version. The 2.1 speakers are hooked up to a computer used for ripping and sharing music with my media computers around the house.Since I have a media computer on every Tv in the house I really don't use the computer with the Klipsch speakers anymore and leave them powered off. I started up the speakers this week because I needed to rip and add some new music to the shared music folder and heard a high pitched sound from my left speaker than a pop coming from the subwoofer. I opened up the subwoofer and noticed one of the boards (I am guessing the amplifier for the left speaker) was burnt.I also notice the power supply spacer was not even insert onto the bolt before tighting.The worst part of this is the left speaker midrange driver is also burnt! This is the last set of Klipsch promedia speakers for me. I will not buy anything with a amp in it made by Klipsch again. For my HT I have a RF-83 Home Theater System without Klipsch subwoofer and will never buy a Klipsch subwoofer to go with it. I have a definitive subwoofer( That I will be replacing)in the living room thats never shutoff and still works like it did over 10 years ago. I think I will buy another definitive subwoofer. I do admit the promedia speakers sounded great when they worked, but the quality of the amps are junk. I do not recommend buying these speakers unless you think 2 years life is good enough for the money spent. Date: 2010-05-14 Great for 3.5 years, now dead These sounded good while they worked. I was happy with them the entire time that they worked(3.5 years). Unfortunately, a few days ago they would not turn on at all. No light, nothing. I saw that the fuse was blown so I replaced it only for the replacement fuse to blow immediately. I saw multiple links on the internet about the amp or various other components giving in. So I took it apart and looked at it and decided I didn't have the expertise to attempt to fix it on my own. So now Im stuck. It seems by the reviews that Im not going to be able to replace this with any speaker system as good as this one. And if I buy another Klipsch, I can pretty much count on it dying in a couple years. Update: So after researching the market it still seems that I can't get anything as good as the Klipsch. So I reluctantly bought another set. As a result Ive upgraded my review from a 2 to a 3 star. But now I have even more concerns about the longevity of this system. The wires are all permanently connected to the speakers/subwoofer. They cant be detached. So if a cable breaks or goes bad, you have to get new speakers. This is different from my previous ProMedia system which had detachable audio cables. Date: 2010-05-13 Best stereo computer speakers - EVER! I bought my first set of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers in the very early 2000s and instantly fell in love with the luscious sound that poured forth from them. I thought it was just because they had a THX rating, so in 2003 when I bought a new Mac workstation, I bought a different brand of THX-rated 5.1 speakers. They did NOT sound as good as the 2.1 Klipsch speakers. Since that time, I've bought a total of five pairs of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers for various computers that belong to myself and family members. My most recent purchase was in 2010. So for over eight years, the Klipsh ProMedia 2.1 speaker design has impressed me with the quality of construction, simplicity of design, and quality of sound, so much so that I am a repeat customer over and over again. I have yet to hear their equal.
