Review: Some of the horror stories written by a couple of reviewers scared me, but I still went ahead and purchased the speakers. First off, if you're going to buy these speakers go to Klipsch's site and order the Monster Cable 2.1 cable kit. They're worth it and I can tell a noticeable difference in clarity (especially at higher ranges) compared to the flimsy cables that come with the speakers. Everything that comes out of these speakers sounds phenomenal and they do take a while to reach normal operating parameters (it's weird they require a break in period). You really start to notice a difference in sound quality when you turn the speakers up a quarter turn. I think at lower volumes there isn't enough power to drive the speakers and sub-woofer properly so it might be something you want to take into consideration if have quiet hours in your dorm for example. Also, Klipsch was smart enough to put the headphone and input jacks on the speaker. The whole input idea into the speaker system was brilliant because you can hook up your iPod and listen to your music that way.

I'm still a little skeptical if the upgrade from my old speakers was worth it and a few of the horror stories still have me spooked, but I have faith in Klipsch for the time being. If you spend some serious time listening to music, playing videogames, or watching DVDs then look no further. However, if you don't really care about the best product out there then look for a more reasonable system offered by other manufactures.

Note: I have a Yamaha YMF753 sound card which may sound like junk compared to a high performance cards such as Creative's Audigy product line.

Review: I've had two different Klipsch ProMedias fail within weeks of purchase. The sound is excellent but what good is one channel?

Review: You are going to have to give me a moment to collect my thoughts. These speakers are amazing. You will never want to leave your room. I moved from NY to FL and was unable to bring my large Cerwin Vegas. I was listening to music either with my sub par headphones or the speakers on my lap top. These speakers have changed my life. Every review is dead on. Buy these speakers and you will never look back. Fine work by the folks at Klipsch.

Review: These 2.1 speakers are among the best 2.1 speakers available. They are a proven product, having been on the market for over 4 years. The highs are very crisp and clear, and the bass is adjustable to your preference. Some complain that the horn tweaters provide too high-piercing sound, everyone's hears sound differently, but this was definitely not a problem for me. The precise highs and lows don't muffle the mids at all. The mids are very crisp. Vocals aren't over-emphasized, as on other brands. It is a perfect balance of sound. The only negative on these speakers is the cost. They are quite expensive, but in my opinion they are well worth the price. Having to work for my money I know how important the cost of these 'extras' are. But, if you listen to music on your computer a lot, or just like high-quality sound these are definitely for you.

Review: I don't know a lot about speakers but I do know what good sound quality is being a professional musician. I bought these speakers because all of the great reviews. I was not disappointed.
