Best Speakers Out There

Just a little background info. I was looking for better speakers for my PC in late 2004 and wanted something better than the two factory speakers that came with my computer, not too tough to beat. I wanted something that had reasonable sound quality and bass. These Klipsch speakers performed above and beyond anything I ever would have expected. The bass the subwoofer produces would shake throughout the floor of the dorm I was in at the time. As you can tell, I have had these for almost 8 years and the quality has not diminished. When I was looking for a new tv for my apartment a few months back I intentionally sought out a tv that had a headphone jack so I could use these speakers instead of buying a surround sound system. I believe these rival the $500+ Denon system that my parents have at their home. I can't even count how many times I have recommended these speakers to co-workers and friends. Dollar for dollar the best speakers you can buy and extremely versatile whether you are looking for sound for your computer or TV. I am amazed everyday with the quality of this product and if mine happen to fail at some point in the future I will buy the same as a replacement. I can't stress the quality and performance of these enough. If there's a choice, buy these. Oh, and to those saying there is no power off switch, it's true that you have to flip the power switch on the back of the sub to turn them off. I wouldn't consider that a draw-back, maybe a MINOR inconvenience at most.
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Nothing

I was impressed by over 400 reviews, looking for computer speakers for my daughter's small LA rental house, with 450 square foot living room. And I remember Klipsch from my high-fidelity college days of Bose, Dual, and Shure V15. I had bought a 2 & 1 set of computer speakers about 10 years ago from Best Buy that have stood up and I am using them today in my office - sound is great. A name brand also, Altec Lansing. So I was looking in that general price range.
But over 400 reviews got my attention at $155. I read maybe 50 to 100 of the reviews, and we stopped by a Best Buy to listen. The radio music was not that impressive, even at high volume, but I bought the speakers anyway.
My wife had noticed that the salesman mentioned they can be wall-mounted. So I put up the satellites with about 10 feet distance for good stereo effect, the woofer on the floor in the corner. We didn't turn them up that first time; the hour was late and we were afraid of disturbing the neighbors. On a later visit, by myself, I cranked up the volume on some jazz music, and then stepped out in front to see if the cops would be coming. It wasn't too loud outside, but very noticeable. A neighbor who happened to be outside, said "That sounds nice. You can tell a good sound system from jazz and classical." But I couldn't get him to poke his head in the door for the full effect.
The sound quality was absolutely astounding! I switched from Brazilian samba over to a classical playlist on the iTunes, some Handel Water Music. Equally high volume. I stood back about 20 feet, the living room is long and narrow, about 15 by 30, with the speakers on one end. The music was transcendental. There was a knock on the door. The same neighbor was back. "Can I poke my head in this time?" He entered. He was as floored as I was.
My daughter had a party shortly after that. She wrote "I love how you mounted them so the sound just kicks out into the room - it was so awesome, everybody noticed the quality." She listens often, sometimes to iTunes, sometimes to YouTube playlists. These speakers are worth every penny and then some. Have fun.

I never, ever write reviews. Things are never THAT good for me to much less care about sharing the mediocrity with others.
I had to change my ways... Just once.
The sound on these things blew me away and continues to do so. Im a bit of a bass fanatic, being that I listen to alot of dubstep, dnb, house, and other electronic music that utilizes ALOT of heavy, hard hitting synths and bass lines... something most standard computer speakers fail horribly at reproducing.
I did a double take the first time I heard just what exactly was coming out of my speakers. Then I got the biggest cheesiest grin on my face, and proceeded to jump around like a 4 year old girl in excitement. The sound is crystal, rich, and just plain f***ing awesome. I can't even reach halfway on the volume knob, and the subs are just a hair turned up, and Klipsch is putting my Bose home theater system to shame.
Hands down... the absolute best $150 I have ever spent. Buy these, don't even think twice about it. You will NOT be disappointed. If so, someone has obviously cut your ears off, and I would suggest seeking medical attention soon.
What's great about it: THE SOUNNNNND
What's not so great: They can't cook.

I loved this specific speaker system―while it lasted. The bass is super rich, which tended to or sufficed my hip-hop/rap needs. Unfortunately, do to incessant use (I love listening to music in my dorm), they died on me (the system shorted and then started chugging out plums of secondhand), after three weeks of having purchased them. Best Buy was cordial in my return and I still hold a place in my heart for this Klipsch speaker system.
It's worth the risk, just be sure to keep the receipt and maybe, get an extended warranty.
What's great about it: The Sound Quality!
What's not so great: This Product's Longevity

For the prise I paid for these speakers, Bose couold take a back seat. I was very close to purchasing Bose, and then a friend of mine said "come to my office and hear these speakers" I was blown away. And now I have the same system in my office. Sound is so clear and the bass for the prise, you can't go wrong. I'm enjoying mine, so go ouot and but you one of these systems you would'nt be disappointed.
What's great about it: Sound and cost.
What's not so great: Need a second set of speakers to go with bass monitor.

I purchased these speakers on Cyber Monday 2011 for a great price I couldn't pass up.
These speakers are amazing. What I mean by amazing is the treble and bass always seem to be at correct levels with each other. No matter if the volume is low or high, the bass never drowns out the treble and the treble never destroys your eardrums.
They should have made an option to place the speakers on their side to easily place under your monitor. See my pictures on what I did. They look amazing and was very simple to place on their sides by using the included rubber feet.
What's great about it: Crisp Beautiful Sound
What's not so great: They should have the option to place speakers on their side.

The Promedia 2.1 is the best speaker that I've ever spent money on ($100 at Best Buy). It sounds great, even though I can't compare with other higher end speakers. I live in a dorm room and I've mostly had it connected to my TV although I play music from my iPhone from time to time. I also haven't cranked it up all the way yet since I didn't want any noise complaints. The most I've done is turn both the speaker and sub to 50%.
Music sounded great. TV shows sounded great. There was one thing I noticed when watching movies on my PS3. For example, I watched both The Dark Knight (Blu-ray) and Inception (Blu-ray). The music and soundtrack were excellent. However, when there was dialogue during soundtrack-heavy scenes, the dialogue was kind of drowned out. I tried playing around with the speaker volume and sub level but didn't find a good balance. I may need to play with it some more.
The speakers and subwoofer seem to be built well. There is no power switch, not on the speaker and not on the sub. Apparently, Klipsch did not intend for these to be turned off. I am not really bothered by this. However, using the Belkin Conserve Insight Energy Use Monitor, I found these to idle at 9 Watts... which isn't really negligible, especially if it's left powered on 24/7 365.
What's great about it: Great sound, good build quality
What's not so great: No power switch, ~9W Idle, Need to play around with the settings for movies

I was replacing my old system that had a problem and I searched online for a replacement. The Klipsch system was only five dollars more than a direct replacement for what I had, and the reviews I read all raved about the sound.
I placed my order online and picked up at the store (which is a really easy way to buy exactly what you want)
Hookup was easy enough and the sound was really great; way better than what I had before. I'd do it all again!
There is no on/off switch, which takes some getting used to, but it has not been a problem so far.
What's great about it: clear, strong sound
What's not so great: no on/off switch
