3 of the subwoofer modules I picked up were defective, and almost all the control pods I tested exhibit some level of scratchiness when the volume control is turned (indicating low quality pots). One thing that became immediately clear to me as I started testing them was that Klipsch's seems to have cut some corners with the electronics. I have come across at least 3 full sets of ProMedia 2.1, one set of 4.1, one set of 5.1, and at least a dozen subwoofer units. Generally speaking, Klipsch's implementation is acoustically superior, but there are some caveats and things aren't so black & white.Īs I aforementioned, I pick up a lot of used electronics from thrift stores. Klipsch has stuck to a 2-way design (dedicated tweeters + woofers), while Logitech has stuck to high-excursion phase plug drivers. Klipsch and Logitech are the only surviving players, and each have their ow n distinct design philosophy. Cambridge Soundworks is no longer producing their THX GigaWorks series, and Altec Lansing's foray into this niche market was short-lived - which is a shame since their ADA995 THX system is by far the best multimedia speakers I have auditioned). In my opinion, the Klipsch ProMedia series are all pretty decent-sounding - and as far as high-powered, THX-certified multimedia speakers are concerned, they may be the best option in terms of sound quality at this time (the number of competing manufacturers have gone down.

I also like to pick up used electronics at thrift stores and have auditioned a lot of multimedia speaker systems of various price ranges.

I am a mid-fi audiophile who dabbles mainly in ~$300 headphones. Vollständige Rezension lesenīestätigter Kauf: Ja | Artikelzustand: Gebraucht Delivery came in a short time, and it's been about a month since I've used these. My seller, freshtekbargain, sold me one in good condition.

It's definitely worth the full price, and just an amazing deal bought used. Also, I think the audio plug has some connection issues- but a replacement can be had on the cheap at the manufacturers, and it's still under the original price. Only "complaint" is that the wires are really long, but this was a setup originally used for desktop computers, so I really don 't mind. The power almost rivals my bose - I just can't see how loud either of them really go without reaching the point where you'll hear me from all over the neighborhood! I also use these to listen to music in general, the sound is great. But bass junkies do not despair! This baby gives you all the bass you need and more if you want. The klipsch 2.1 got pretty close for my 1st set of speakers. I'm really into hearing music as it is, with nothing added, like bass. I didn't want just anything, but a pair that would give clarity and detail, almost like a pair of my earphones from Etymotic. I was in search of a set of speakers that I could play my digital piano through.
