Title: Full Range
Date: June 23, 2008
ProsIt has a full sound even at low levels. The imaging is really cool too. I can listen to my music while on the cumputer as my wife and kid watch television. Bass is localized as well as hearing it all! Factory recommendations are dead on for the system that we have. Still clear at high volumes. ConsThe bass can be a bit overpowering and surprising on some songs. We listen to everything from Old School R&B to Slip Knot. You have to adjust, obviously, but can cause nerve damage!
Review:I actually looked at another 2.1 system that was almost twice the price. They so happen to be on display in the same store and was impressed with the sound! It blew away other systems right beside it at a higher price! I like the minimalist loo, and it looks great next our 22" inch screen. Happy to have made the descion!

Title: Promedia 2.1 Speaker System
Date: November 8, 2007
ProsGreat sound! These speakers have tremendous bass and clear midrange. They are good enough that the are the only speakers you need to listen to music. The dual inputs allow you to connect your ipod (or any MP3 player that uses a headphone jack) as well as your PC. ConsDIN connector is junk. I have broken it off just by moving the speaker against the wall under the desk. I actually found a repair service on eBay that has a listing just to fix the Promedia speakers. So, you know it is a poor design. To prevent it from happening again, I bought a PS2 keyboard extension cable (same DIN connectors) on eBay and use it between the sub and the speaker cable. That way, if it gets broken, I can just buy another extension cable and not have to fix the speaker.

Title: Small package - big sound - best in it's class
Date: October 30, 2007
ProsDeep rich sound in such a small package. Rock solid lows, full mids and crisp highs. It's nice having headphone jack and an mp3 player input on the side of the "control" satellite speaker. Satellites have a nice small footprint. Clean look with or without the snap-in grilles. Better sound than the 5.1 systems I looked at, for less money! These are the best computer speakers I have ever owned and I have owned MANY. These arrived in 3 days with Dell 3-5 day shipping. ConsPower on-off switch located on the back of the subwoofer. I don't like having to crawl underneath my computer desk whenever I need to turn these off. I guess I am going to have to change my power strip setup. I don't mind the wire terminals or the DIN plug on the back of the sub that others seem to have a problem with, that stuff is just fine with me. The sub is HUGE by the way, but it fits nicely under my desk. It can also be overpowering on some songs with alot of bass, even on the lowest setting.
Review:Upgrading from a set of Harmon Kardon "champagne" speakers. It's like night and day. They were decent, these are the gold standard. I listen to all kinds of music, mostly rock, and these deliver. I also watch DVDs and play online games, and both are impressive with these thumpers. Took a chance buying these without having heard them. I went solely by the glowing online reviews, and I am glad I did. You should do the same.

Title: Powerful System!
Date: September 17, 2007
ProsThis system has great sound. The 2-way satellites are crisp and clear, and the subwoofer really packs a punch. And that's just at the subwoofer's quarter volume setting. I like to listen to Pipe Organ music, and these speakers really do justice to the world's most powerful, and majestic musical instrument. It rumbles the floor, and walls, on certain pieces of music that use the bass pedals. When playing DVD movies, it does equally well. This may vary on your systems, depending on your soundcard. Mine is a THX certified Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS, which makes for a great combination, This is the system you might want to consider buying. These speakers do cost a little more than others, but are well worth it. Especially, when you think about the money being wasted on the $50 bargain systems that look good, and sound good for only a short time. I know, because I been there, and done that! I wish I would've seen these before, and had the money to buy them. But, now I finally have them, and I truly enjoy them every time I listen to them. Moneywise, these are definitely worth going the extra mile for. I'm glad I did! The only reason I gave it 4 stars for quality is: that one of the satellite speaker stands was slighty bent. But I contacted Klipsch (who was very prompt in responding) and they are sending a new stand under the warranty. Great service from Klipsch made me feel comfortable about purchasing this product! ConsNone that I could ever think of.
Review:If you've had the chance to read any of the reveiws for these speakers on other websites, you will probably run across a few complaints about the DIN plug that connects the control pod to the subwoofer, breaking off. To help prevent this from happening (this is my theory), make sure that you leave enough clearance between the wall (or other object) and the subwoofer. That way, you will not be placing any strain on the plug, or cord.

Title: Don't pass them up
Date: September 10, 2007
ProsI had to replace speakers for my home PC because of my kids blowing them from listening to their rap/music. Two times I might add, so I took a chance and purchased these from reading the reviews and knowing the Klipsch name. I was considering the BOSE companion 5 but it was to much money. After receiving these speakers I installed them in about 2 minutes (easy setup). I then slipped in a Stevie Ray Vaughn CD and WOW! it sounded fantastic. My wife and kids came in to see what type of speakers I was using. They were all amazed at the sound qualiity. Needless to say these are a great set of speakers. Especially for the price. I would recommend these to anyone. ConsI agree with the other reviews about the power switch location. I also think that they (Klipsch) could have used better cable for this unit.
Review:As for the power switch. I purchased and extention cord that has an intergrated on/off swiitch. Now I just leave the speaker switch on and use the extention as the main switch. Works great.

Title: Best of the show
Date: July 25, 2007
ProsClean, crisp performance, high quality of the oldest American speaker manufacturer, superior sound projection, highest acoustic output of any speaker in the "desktop speaker" . Fantastic dynamic range and clarity, THX certified. Capable of 106db/SPL continous, making them the highest output and most dynamic range of any "desktop" speaker system. They are superior sound to many bookshelf and sub/satelitte systems costing hundreds of dollars more. these speakers were made by a premium American speaker company, not a company that branched out from making mouses.
As a movie lover, I own two pair and drive them with the SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio card in a 4.2 configuration. This system rocks, many of my friends prefer coming to my home to watch a DVD because of this audio system and because I have a Dell widescreen monitor with this sound system. The sound quality is truly amazing, if you really want a great multimedia experience from your computer go with one or two pair of these and one of the SB X-Fi sound cards. By the way, these sound great with just music as well, I am no musician, but I understand loud, robust and clear. Accessories and spare parts are easily obtainable from the Klipsch website. ConsPower switch located in the back of the subwoofer. Bass can be overwhelming when you really crank them, which can really upset the neighbors. this system will rattle furniture.
Review:Klipsch support comes through US technicians and these speakers sound like many other speakers in the klipsch family, clear, powerfull and fantastic. I have friends who have paid far more for other brand name home theatre systems and they are blown away by this inexpensive little 4.2 configuration I've got.

Title: Full Sound!!
Date: June 22, 2007
ProsThese speakers have wonderfully rich full bodied sound!! Especially for the price. A great bargain and value!! Easy to set up, a no brainer really. Can handle any type of music. Just set them up and let em go!! ConsInconvenient power switch on the back of subwofer and thin included cables, these have all been cited before, but still worth it. They lose a little bit of response on the highs when listening to MP3's. I am a drummer and like to focus in on the cymbals when I am listening to various types of music, these lack a little, but not enough to keep you from buying these.
Review:I fell that better cables could have been included in the package along with a graphic equalizer program to enable various sound schemeing. But go for it !!!

Title: Excellent right out of the box
Date: June 11, 2007
ProsEasy set-up, fantastic sound. I am using these with a laptop (Dell Inspiron E1505), as I was tired of the tinny sound from the laptop's internal speakers, and these are the best computer speakers I have ever used or owned. Comparable to my home stereo loudspeakers. ConsMinor: power on/off switch is on the back of the sub unit (which you will typically have stashed under your desk or otherwise out of the way) so, if you want to switch them on & off with regularity, place the sub within reach, or, buy an extension cord that has an on/off switch built in.

Title: The BEST 2.1 speaker system!!!
Date: June 8, 2007
ProsSound is just amazing with this system. I have been though my fair share of 2.1 speaker systems and this system is the pinicle of them all. Hands down THE BEST you can get for your money. Pure cystaline perfection is what I like to call it! ConsBesides the turn on/off switch being on the back of the sub (which isn't really bad).......none!
Review:Go out and get this system if you are looking for a powerful. clear, crisp and booming system for your computer. You will not be disappointed!

Date: May 20, 2007
ProsSound is excellent. Bass is it's best part. The bass is crisp, clear, soft, extremely well shaped, warm but sharp at the same time. This bass sounds close to $6,000 speakers. The highs are really good as well. very well designed. Very powerful, your parents will hate your for these get real loud. Highly recommended if you are looking for the best. But if you are worried about cost, don't get these. Conspaper cones, they can't get ruined if not cared for!

Title: These speakers are truely under price
Date: April 19, 2007
ProsI wasn't sure which speakers I wanted to get, so I did some researh ( I wanted to get the best as to what i can afford ) So I went around the stores to listen to some media speaker. There were three that were really good and stand out as the best. The problem though was their prices, 250.00 or more. So I decided to shop at Dell. To my surprise they had Klipsch Promedia 2.1 at a very affordable price. I ordered them, and when they arrived I was blown away after hooking them up. The music and movie jumped right at me. Thanks Dell I enjoy these more then I expected. ConsJust one which I forgot to mention but was no big deal The main control speaker was defected but was resolved right away. Thanks again Dell for fast service
Review:I have a Home Theater in my Living room and the Promedia 2.1 sounded just as good as my front speakers,that is was what inpress me the most.
