    I love these speakers. I decided to move my old Logitech 2.1 Z2300 system out to the shop to use while working on my motorcycles. Although the Logitech sub is much larger and a click louder, the overall sound of these Klipsch is really something to behold- quite mellow and very accurate to my ears. These are perfect for music and an occasional movie while sitting in front of the computer monitor.

    Hell yes ! I bought the 2.1 THX version abt 8 yrs ago, it is still running full steam. For computer near field listening, music is detail and punchy. Watching movies from Netflix or Amazon Prime, the 2.1 THX promedia really impressed me with the low frequency that I can feel under my computer desk. The 2.1 THX Promedia designed to be " on" 24/7 that is better for most of the electronic gear. Set your volume of your computer at the max level, so the 2.1 amp does not have to work hard. Do not overload the subwoofer by turning the bass knob all the way up to 12 o' clock ( you do not need to ) then as the review person said. By doing so, the mid-range can be localized from the sub-woofer. At 11 o'clock on the 2.1, promedia my neighbor starts to complaint. I live in the apartment by the way.

    I had the Mackie CR3 and I liked the 2.0 setup but the office in my new apartment didn't allow me to put them how I need them because they need quite a bit of breathing air behind them otherwise the bass will just overblow anything else. I bought the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 BT (because THX is not available in 220V) and they are so much better than the CR3 in many ways, the satellites can be put right against the wall and the sub offers more than enough bass to compensate for.

    Just bought these. Best computer speakers I have ever owned. They are old technology, been around for a long while. Owned the Bose Companion 5's prior, they don't hold a candle, honestly. I cannot speak for Audio engine or Edifier or even Kanto so take this with a grain of salt... Many of those speakers have a price range starting in the mid $200's and don't include a sub. This system, that can be purchased for under $150 and closer to $100 on sale punches WAY above it's minimal price range. Klipsch Makes speakers, good ones, and they haven't changed this product in damn near a decade, maybe more, why? They don't need to. I own speakers throughout the house with names like Definitive Technology and Polk Audio (older ones) and they aren't on that level but computer speakers can almost never obtain that level anyway. Perhaps for $500 bucks but these were $140! If you are in the market.... do it.

    I’m an OG with pc speaker’s I’ve had this set of speakers for approximately 6yrs and it’s still sounds amazing. If you don’t like the fact there’s no power button you can plug into a power strip and switch off/on power strip. I’m using an monster clean power I’ve had for yrs also. It all works flawlessly. The only thing that KLIPSCH could do better with this set is introduce a KLIPSCH 3.1 pro media system that may give you the warmer sound your looking for. And KLIPSCH is a DEDICATED manufacturer speaker brand which always is a plus! It’s not like other speaker manufacturer that make a little of everything, to me that doesn’t make it a great product. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE SPEAKERS! Even in home stereo.

    Just got these speakers for $70 but they are worth the original price of $150 and no matter what price you buy them at, they will be worth it. but keep in mind the Tractrix Horn Technology is very good but it is not long-range, so stepping away from the speakers makes the highs much quieter. The sub is so powerful it can vibrate the entire house of 2800 sqr ft. When buying these speakers keep in mind to keep the actual speaker volume lower than your laptop volume and the sound quality will be much better because the built-in pre-amp will not be feeding unnecessary power and making a buzzing noise. Also, there is a Bluetooth (No THX Certification) option.

    I've had my set for about a year and a half, and they are phenomenal. I have it hooked up to a Scarlett 2i2. I originally had it directly into my motherboards audio jack, and I got some hiss, pops, and cracks with certain sounds. The bass also had a flat ceiling. After introducing the 2i2, all the issues were resolved, and they sound great. They're pretty much clear at any volume, with great sound separation. I will say they definitely are styled, and feel like old school speakers. When you look at their original launch date, and compare their audio performance to any similarly price computer speakers, they're worth it. Klipsch created a halo product that has yet to be dethroned at it's price point.

    I have this an older version its doesn't use a DB9 connector it has proprietary connector for the preamp and is a 240W peak power (120v 2a is actually 240W) the attach cable is dead so se auxiliary input is doing all the job the satellite speakers center is round not flat like yours, also I had it plug to a light outlet at home you know the ones for lamps so only when the light switch is on they are on been like that for the last 5 years no problem.

    I bought this at Costco a month back and I have to say I agree 100% with your assessment. I got home and was rather disappointed with the sound quality. It just seemed kinda muffled in the mid-tones. I was also so perplexed as to why there was no OFF switch. It drives me nuts that it draws so much power from my 'kill-a-watt' meter. Not to mention the unit light is so damn bright that I wake up in the night thinking there's a spotlight on me. I decided to keep it as I've gotten used to it, but wondered if other people had similar criticisms.

Seriously!! On the flipside edifiers are like a Toyota Corolla, good for everyday drive with enough power for audio playback without upsetting ur cat .. personally I like the edifiers, looks nicer, multiple inputs, decent sized driver, music/games/movies sounds excellent, and I don't care for a subwoofer for my desktop, edifiers provides enough bass for my taste .. if I really want more bass, then I could easily hookup any sub my edifiers using a dac and split my source audio connection 👍

My neighbours had to one up me and got a massive system. They blasted their music but the sound quality was shit. I took them to Spain, England, Chile, and back to Spain. The cables eventually broke and the bits are separated in storage, but I just bought the Logitech Z625 to try something new. Let's see how they compare! I would give these a solid 9/10 due to lack of features.

    The sound is amazing. but my issue is the audible hum from the sub with no sound playing. If you have the sub close by like under your PC desk, then the hum is audible. I disconnected the speakers with only power to the sub and it still produces the hum. I returned the unit, but bought it again a few months later as costco had it discounted. The 2nd unit has the same humming problem. The Klipsch forums has a thread where several users reported the hum, but with no resolution. Also, I do notice that the back of the units gets really hot even on idle with no sound playing. I agree with the review that they could have done better with the design. The promedia 2.1 model has been out for a long time.

    I bought a Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX set from Costco about a month ago, and really LOVE the sound. Tough to beat that THX certification and 250 watts! But there are a few things that bother me with this Klipsch. First is the detachable main volume and subwoofer volume control unit. The unit is made to mount under either one of the speakers. But my speakers are hard to get to. So my control unit is unmounted and sits below my computer screen for the controls. Not too bad. The bad part is how difficult it is to plug in and unplug the headset into and out of the headset jack. The jack is on the right side of the unit, and it is recessed into the back part of this control unit. I use headsets a lot, but listen to the speakers a lot also. The speakers shut off when the headset is plugged in, as they should. But plugging in and unplugging the headsets is a real pain!!! The jack is hard to get to and not accomodating at all. The second problem is the heat generated by the amplifier inside the subwoofer. It is HOT. This will be a real problem during the summer here in the southwest. I don't know if there is a fix for this, but it is NOT good. The last problem is that there is NO WAY to turn off the unit. It stays on all the time. The only way to turn the unit off is to unplug it. So it sits there all night using electricity and heating up my office. An on-off switch on the volume control unit would help a LOT. So, although I really love the sound, the system, in my opinion, does have a few shortcomings. Maybe they can fix this in a third generation. I would really like that!

    I currently own the z523 from logitech and they have served me very well for over 10 years now but theyve always been plagued by some connectivity issues with the cables. I went and bought the logitech z623 and man they are a hard downgrade unless my unit was defective. To listen to videos like this where you speak, the bass was nonexistent even at 50% which made talk videos sound like tin-cans and when the bass was present (still only at 50%) it absolutely overpowers everything else and youre forced to turn down the bass knob. It's like there is no middle ground with the z623 whereas if i keep the bass knob at about 20% on my z523 it's perfect for everything, gaming, music, podcasts, videos etc etc.... Ive been eyeing these Klipsch ones but theres a THX version and a non THX version, some have said the THX is great and some say the non THX uses the old premium components which is far superior, idk what to believe anymore.

    There have been different versions of these throughout the years. The general design of them haven't changed too much but some say the latest versions have had some cost cutting done internally and don't sound the same as some of the old ones. My versions power led is green and not blue. And the connectors to the sub for the control box has changed over the years as well. My set are at least 15 years old and still working just fine. It's important to give them a clean signal and not just jack up the sub level to max if you want these to last and sound good. They get plenty loud for near field listening and just jacking up the sub knob to max just overdrives the sub. It works far better not taking the knob past half way and they will still bump good. If you give them a good signal from a clean source such as an external DAC they can sound very good for what they are. They are not going to rival much more expensive solutions but they can do a pretty good job for what they cost.
