Summary: Like Never Before...
Review: Whoa! When I powered up this puppy up I immediately realized I'd never had this much power at my fingertips in any pc sound system I'd ever had before.
I spent extra money to "upgrade" my audio for a DELL PC I purchased a little over a year ago. I hated the Harmon-Kardon speakers and subwoofer I received right from the start. Klipsch is so superior it is hard to describe.
I wanted something with a strong mid-range and this meets and exceeds my lofty expectations. Game playing barks at me like a Great Dane with a subwoofer that really woofs! The power really comes through for my music CD's to the point where my wife is already telling me to "Turn it down!" which never happened with my HK's.
In brief, this system really does it for me and is much better then anything I've ever had before. Could not be happier and I strongly recommend it.

Summary: Who knew?
Review: I had never heard of Klipsch until a friend of mine bought some. I was skeptical at first, but after hearing his I became a believer. His speakers sounded great, were stylish and the whole system did not take up much room. I, having always had Altec Lansing speakers decided that i needed to upgrade to the Klipsch system. I decided to go with the 2.1 and am not dissapointed. If you like bass heavy music, then this system can put out enough bass to annoy your neighbors in your dorm (if you're into that sorta thing) or if you want to listen to good music then this system can be set to be very balanced and produce a crisp, clean sound. My recommendation is definitely to buy them if you're considering them.

Review: Best 5.1 computer speakers in the world

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you are allowed one little luxury in life.....
Review: Since I bought my first stereo system in the late 1970s, most component purchase decisions have been about looking for the right compromise between performance and price. In this case, the combinations of Klipsch's tradition of great speakers and an in-store audition made me disregard the price point, and --after months of monk-like-denial of other little wants-- plunk down the significant $ these requre. If price is your ONLY consideration, then hese speakers have some excellent competition from Logitech (and soon, from their own company, when the GMX D-5.1 are released in Feb 2003). But: These are equal to --or better-- than best home stereo speakers I've ever owned. And at that level of performance (even with adding of a 5.1 capable sound card if you don't already have one), then these are at a modest price point. Like loud??? Crank 'em up. Not only will you risk your hearing, but you'll be amazed at out damned crisp the sound was just before deafness set in. Issues: The subwoofer is not for confined spaces. The "control tower" user interface has some issues (the power button is inexplicably located on its side, and the smaller center/rear/sub adjustment knobs would be improved by either some backlit labels and or a configuration that visually establishes their relationship): these are minor points, but surprising oversights in a speaker system that wil require most of four hundred dollars to buy. But: put in your favorite tunes (interesting note for P2P lovers whose music may be mostly downloaded: Klipsch indicates in their manual that these speakers will reveal the loss of fidelity in the MP3 format. Be prepared!), turn up the volume and all is forgiven. These rock. Period.

Summary: Kilpsch Who??
Review: Had never heard of Kilpsch before but sales rep. said That I would not be sorry if I got them!! (Kilpsch/THX 4.1 Promedia) He was RIGHT!! I had just purchased Altec Lansing 2100 two days earlier. I returned them with the intention of getting the Altec Lansing 621. Man, am I GLAD I got the Kilpsch 4.1!! The sound is WONDERFUL!! I am using them on my new Dell 8250 with the Soundblaster Card. My computer area would not allow me to place the rear speakers behind me. I placed them on the floor to the left and right side of my computer desk. They still sound GREAT!! BY,BY Altec Lansing!! You have been beat!!

Summary: Great Sounds
Review: I thought my stereo system in the family room was off of the chain. Mannnnn these speakers are loud and clear. I would suggest these speakers to anyone that loves to download music as much as I do. In fact I don't even listen to my home system since I got these speakers. They are truly state of the art.
Now where do I get paid???????:)

Summary: Best among ALL computer speakers so far
Review: After reading all the reviews on Amazon, I decided to give Klipsch a try and purchased it. I followed the suggestion of some reviewers: extended warranty. I have 4 years of that, and it's made in China. No doubt this system beats my Boston Accoustics 7500G, which I still love and keep.

Compare to BA 7500G, Klipsch's satellites have more noise, but it is not noticable unless you get close to them. The subwoofer is what beats off the BA 7500G. It's too strong!! With my Sound Blaster Live!, sometimes I have to turn the subwoofer control on the main satellite to the minimum in order to not disturb my neighbors. Very, very impressive subwoofer power, which is what I'm thirsty for!! The surround volumn of front and back is adjustable and sounds great. When I play ghost recon, if I turn the sound too loud, I am always close to have a heart attack when someone is shooting behind me.

Physically the satellites are pretty large compare to many others, but THEY LOOK GOOD. They just look like some high-price, expensive speakers, which they are. The subwoofer is big and heavy, but who cares about the size when it sounds that good?

I have listened to many computer speaker systems in stores, including logitech, monsoon, creative labs, altec lansing, harman kardon, and so on. I'll have to say altec lansing simply [stinks]. Noise, and the subwoofer always has bumping sound. Harman Kardon on the other hand is really high quality, but too pricy and not common in store. All other systems are just weak compare to Boston Accoustics, not even mentioning this Klipsch system.

But be aware of what the reviewers tell you, this might break. The first system I brought home simply was broken. No power! I brought it back to circuit city and replaced with a new one, which's been working fine so far. However, with my 4 year warranty, I am ready to get it replaced any time if something goes wrong with it.

Summary: Klipsch Promedia 4.1
Review: I've had a number of diffrent pc speaker sets, including Altec Lansin 4.1 As well as a bose 4.1 and some other standard speakers(muse i believe). I have never heard anything sound better than this set. With 400 watts there is no need to crank this close to half way, but its not how loud this one is but the quality of the sound is remarkable. Altough without a good sound card it can never sound much better than ordaniary speakers execpt that there is more of them. So beffore you go spending money on better speaker sets make sure you can upgrade sound card or already have a high quality card. another thing I admire about this set is with plenty of extra wattage you can connect more speakers for an even more surroud sound feel. I don't connect more than 2 more speakers because I'm worried I could over heat the sub or amp. The only reason I worry is because I over heated my Altec Lansin set just by playing it too loud for to long without added speakers. When I took it apart because the sub wasn't working I found that the chips were melted. I personally listen to loud music with lots of bass and no other pc speakers have hit this hard and sounded so clear. What ever volume and type music you listen to, you can adjust the subwoofer and surround(on the speakers)and treble and bass(with the computer)to sound just right. I get non stop complaments from friends about its performance. whenever i have a party its perfect, I have a stereo but it is not worth having to burn, buy, bring, or swicth cds and most of all it doesn't sound quite as good. The only problem ive had with my speakers is I have trouble getting used to anyone elses computer speakers, I often wonder how they can enjoy music. I highly recomend these speakers to anyone who uses there computer for lots of music. I'm conviced that this was the best investment in my room.

Summary: Excellent Speaker System...For a Few Months
Review: I absolutely love this system. They sound excellent with hard hitting bass and responsive highs - and that's what's so sad about the situation, because I'm returning my second system now and they're gonna be sending me my third, since they only last about 9 months. When I called this time for a return authorization number, the customer service rep said, "What's wrong, the subwoofer works but all the other speakers don't?" They must know about it then. When I got my second system, they said they fixed the problem - obviously not. This is a very expensive system and it gets excellent reviews so the thought of purchasing it is very tempting, but the other reviewers are right, it won't last long, so keep that in mind. Also keep in mind that it costs about [$$] for UPS shipping back to the company since its so heavy, with a 2 month turn around time, so factor that into your descision. Although the system can put out alot of power, I don't play my music very loud at all and the system is protected from surges. I think there's a design flaw somewhere. Plus the volume knob is very touchy - going from 10 to 23 to 24 to 35 with the turn of the knob. Not very percise - you'll find yourself turning it back and forth trying to get to where you want to be. In conclusion - excellent sounding system, if you only need it for a short time.

Summary: If you buy any other speakers...you're just ...!!
Review: There isisnt much to say about these speakers...it's very simple.
There's These speakers...and then there is everyone else.
I bought this set...and it blows away my surround sound sustem for my house...by MILES!!
The ... who is trying to scare people by saying thse wont last past 6 months is obviously just a bitter competitor...first of all...NO ONE is on their 3rd pair of these...becouse first of all...NO ONE is dumb enough to buy the same product 3 times...and seriously..you'll never need another pair of speakers after you have these.I'd love to compare them to others..but they are in a league of their own,i can't compare them to anything..it's like comparing artwork from a kindegarden class to a picasso.You DON'T have a choice to make...you can buy these speakers and be happy...or you can buy some other... and never experience truely great technology.
