Nooooooooooo!!!

I've waited since somewhere around 2002 to get these babies!!!
I was so very happy once I got them.
As everyone around here already knows, there is supposed to be a power button on the back of the woofer to turn these speakers on & off.
I looked 3 times already & don't see any place where an on/off switch is located on my system anywhere.
Oh well, no biggie. I figured that I could just unplug the system once I was done playing on my computer each day.
Boy, was I wrong. I suppose that I might've caused an electrical surge when I plugged my system in this morning because it made a sound & then there was no sound coming out of them at all. (The little green light on the left speaker doesn't light up, either).
I can't believe I did that. I've had these speakers for less than a week & now they're busted. I sure am glad that I bought that extended warranty-- though.
I place 1/2 the blame on myself for not using the switch to turn it on / off-- by the way, I've looked in the back of my subwoofer & I swear that there is no switch on it at all-- and-- I place the other 1/2 of the blame on Klipsch-- why did they make it so difficult to power up / power down the system in the first place?
I don't plan on telling Best Buy all of the details on how I fried my beloved Klipsch 2.1 system-- they don't need to know (everything) as long as I tell them that they don't power up anymore.
Could someone please tell me where the switch is? I've looked several times and it's no where to be found.
I'm contemplating on trading these for the Bose Companion® 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System-- for $100 more. It's a shame what happened-- I only wish that the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Speaker System was much more reliable than what I've seen firsthand.
I don't know why-- but it seems that whenever anyone does decide to buy these speakers-- they end up taking a risk on having trouble-- some never have trouble, while others never seem to get these speakers to work properly (or for very long).
Because of what happened, I'm truly heart broken that I no longer have as high of an opinion of the value / reliability / practicality of Klipsch "Promedia" speakers-- of any kind...
What's great about it: Great Klipsch name. Small Footprint with room filling sound.
What's not so great: Not very reliable. Power switch not easily handy. Cost a lot to break so easily.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
