User Submitted Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2010-02-13 Enormous Clear Bass, and clear mids/highs Purchased the Klipsch THX ProMedia 2.1's . The bass is ridiculous. You really only need 1/3 of the sub power to be happy but if you want to jam out power up the sub. The speakers are clear and loud. They have large magnets nearly the size of the outter cone. I've tested these against Lab tech pulse speakers/sub ($35), The Speaker Companies high end 2.1 system ($40), and my home theater bose/polk $1000, Nakamichi Wall System 2.1 ($1,000), JVC Executive Stainless Steel System ($350). These Klipsch's put out more bass than all of my systems with the exception of my home theater system (350watt PSW12 sub). The clarity at loud volume comes close to my Nakamichi Wall system which is $1,000. For $100 bucks you definately get your money's worth. My stainless steel executive JVC system can't match the wattage of Klipsch but the mids and high's are slightly clearer. The Labtech and The Speaker company PC 2.1 systems don't hold a candle in any respect. You have to compare these speakers to high end home audio systems. They are also constructed very well. My only complaint is the power switch is on the Sub not on the speaker. This makes it a little bit of a pain to get to if you want to turn off the power. Date: 2010-02-08 Quality speakers, will blow you! For the price offered here at amazon I find the Kilpsch Promedia 2.1 a good value. They have held up to everything I've thrown at them, whether it be music, games or movies, all without distortion. I wish that the power cable was modular just in case it ever needs replacing, but alas it is attached, my only other complaint is that the power switch is located on the back of the sub-swoofer which normally sits on the floor, not very convenient to get to. Other than those minor complaints, overall its a quality built product. My only regret is that i didn't purchase it earlier. Date: 2010-02-03 Best Set Ever - Will blow you away for years The Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX speakers might be the single greatest electronic investment of my life. I bought these babies in THE 7TH GRADE after saving and researching for months. Im 22 now...10 years seems so long. Since that fateful day, Ive put it through a heavy metal phase, endless counterstrike sessions, years of use as a primary stereo system at parties blaring rock and rap, and four years of college (and a bit gentler music, sometimes). Ive packed up and moved more times than I can count: to and from dorms every year, home for summers, different apartments during different jobs...they have been thrown in suitcases, shipped across country, sat in cold garages and storage units for months on end. Every time I move, I expect them to have seen their last days. Then I pull them out, set them up, and let them rip...they still bring tears. They are the one constant in my life. Part of me thinks that no accessory should last this long, but everytime I think to myself that its time to get a newer, bigger stereo, I turn these babies on, with their "outdated" analog connections, and those thoughts are instantly put to rest. These speakers are a part of me. They will be at my wedding fist-pumping to Taylor Swift. They will watch my children's first steps with unabashed joy. The will be a pillar of strength for my wife, blasting Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as the box closes at my funeral. I dont believe in an afterlife. The 2.1s will be my legacy. While I fade into inexistence, all I know is that they will remain in this world. Facing the future unflinchingly, without remorse or self-pity. Eternal. Standing proudly on my rotting desk. Date: 2010-01-23 better than bose by far... I owned the bose companion 3 speakers for a while and ended up selling them because they just didn't do it for me. Months later I picked up these bad boys and I am impressed! They cost less and sound amazing! I do wish there were an easier to get to power button, but that's not a deal breaker. I think I will be sticking with these for a long time! Date: 2010-01-22 Connection problems, potential heat problem I got these speakers back in 2000. They sounded great and I really liked them. As many others have said, good clarity and nice bass. The phones jack was a nice addition for late night gaming. My quibbles are two. First, the mini-jack that plugs into the back of each satellite was sensitive to placement. If the jack wasn't in the right orientation, the sound would be lost. Simple fix: fiddle with it until the sound comes back. Second, heat. I had noticed the amp was always warm (added bonus: heated foot rest), but never really thought about it much. Now, in 2010, the system died (blew a fuse, replaced it and now I can only get a thumping from the sub that can't be attenuated by the volume control). I opened it up and found lots of crusty capacitors and discolored epoxy, both signs of heat. And though I never measured the temperature, it seems much warmer now--too hot to hold for 10 seconds. Some searching has suggested others have similar heat-related problems. Maybe ten years is a good run for speakers. Probably their construction details have changed (hopefully for the better, but it seems that rarely is the case in this world). They sound so good though, I'll probably buy another set.
