    At $159.95, the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 is the least expensive speaker in this survey. A popular choice at Circuit City and Best Buy, it is also something of a standard-bearer for mass-market offerings. Read more

    The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1s' output quality is excellent on the whole, but a few minor problems prevent them from surpassing the competition. Read more

    • Straightforward design; easy to install.
    • Low-end distortion during music playback; expensive.

    Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 ($200 street), with its ear-splitting volume levels and seemingly bottomless bass, may be the finest three-piece gaming system on the market. Read more

    Next to my headphones or studio monitors, these speakers sing! They have incredible accuracy and every one of my friends rave about the quality. The average person listening to this set will be absolutely blown away. Read more

    Simply outstanding. Depth of sound is incredible, and volume is no problem. I haven't even played them at half volume...no need. If you're looking for decent speakers, you should seriously consider these. Read more

    • Easy Setup, Incredible Sound
    • A bit pricey, but worth the money

    I went through/tested a few units in the same price range before I stumbled upon these monsters. To put it bluntly I was (and still am) blown away with the sound quality and power these well crafted speakers put out. Read more

    • Stellar highs, mids with impressive bass. Attractive, THX certified, surprisingly powerful and a well constructed unit all together.
    • Needs to be carefully burned/broken in out of the box. Thin, delicate satellite wires.

    Recently I was at Klipsch's site and found they are selling redesigned replacement Pods for the system for $22. I picked one up, and a couple of new Sats off an auction site. Read more

    • Great overall sound from a PC speaker setup if you can still find them! I purchased these a few years back, and still have them.
    • The original volume control pod was built from cheap materials, mainly the volume potentiometer, and DIN connector. After about a year and half used I got the same crackling sound and problems like many got if you google i...

  • how well does it compare to Logitech's Z2300

    I have a Bose Companion 5 USB series sepeakers with me. But i am looking for more oomph and power for bass from woofers. I dont know what speakers are the best right now. As if for 2.1's would you recomend this? or Logitech's Z2300? I'm not really a gamer. I value music quality and movie quality more. Please help.
