Use this Klipsch ProMedia 3-piece speaker system to enjoy brilliant sound when playing games, listening to music or watching videos on your computer.
Posted by: GeneralThadeApe

I just bought these speakers about 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, the first set blew out in about 2 days-- but Best Buy stood by their product by giving me a new set without any problem at all..
These speakers sound awesome. They have PLENTY of deep bass-- mine are set somewhere around 20% (there's a mark on the dial, and from what I can tell, that's the recommended setting)-- believe me, you won't need to go much higher than that even when playing action movies or video games with a lot of gun fire and explosions in them.
I love the Klipsch brand name. It represents great speaker engineering that has been around several decades now.
I've heard the Bose® - Companion® 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System (3-Piece) on display while shopping for these Klipsch & although those speakers sound quite good, too-- I couldn't justify the additional $100 for those speakers.
Now, I'm not bashing Bose-- in fact, I own & enjoy my Bose® - 3•2•1® GS Series III DVD Home Entertainment System quite a bit-- but, as many others have already stated-- Bose are always more expensive and real audiophiles almost always choose something else instead of Bose in the long run.
I especially like the large sound that comes from these small speakers. They look great-- especially sitting next to my laptop where the gold /orange & black logo matches my orange lights and orange / black carbon laptop case-- very sexy, indeed!!!
The one thing that is odd is that Klipsch decided to forgo the power switch on their newest model. I've asked Klipsch if it was O.K. to leave them on all the time & they said that it was their intention to do so as these speakers use so little power by keeping them on all the time.
I've had them on ever since & haven't been worried about them at all.
I suppose that people can use a power strip that has an On/ Off switch on it-- but that's probably just a matter of preference.
Oh, I almost forgot-- I was pleasantly surprised when these speakers went on sale this week. The good folks over at Best Buy were more than willing to give me a refund of the difference between the regular price & the sale price.
That made my buying decision all that much sweeter!!!
Buy these speakers. Take good care of them. Enjoy them for many years. It's going to be a very looooong time before something comes out that sound any better than these do for what you pay for them.
What's great about it: Klipsch Brand Name, Superior Sound & Sexy Styling
What's not so great: Kind of Expensive & Lack of Power Switch
I would recommend this to a friend!
