After going through multiple speaker sets, I bit the bullet and spent the $180 (at the time ~9 years ago) and I was amazed by the heart thumping bass and the clear mid and high ranges this set could produce. Haven't heard a competing brand ever come close, unless you take into account the time I setup a full top of the line JBL towers/center/sub/rears floor standing stereo system as my computer speakers... oh how I miss that setup... But I digress.
These speakers are great. I only ran into an issue a year ago when the sub decided to stop working, mind you this was after eight years or so, with multiple moves cross country. Even with the $150 price tag I didn't think twice when I picked up a second set! Now only if they still made the 5.1 Klipsch for computers...

What's great about it: Sound and build quality is exactly what you expect from Klipsch
What's not so great: Cost is a bit high for a set of computer speakers
