I have had the Promedias for over a year now and they perform as well as they did when they were first puilled out of the box. The model I have is the wireless one and it performs flawlessly at distances of up to 30 feet from the setup.
If you are looking for a pair of speakers that can deliver excellent sound at volume levels at are just flat out very loud then these will satisfy your needs.
I have read a review from a parent who bought his sons these units for college use and was somewhat depressed because both pairs of speakers blew out within a few weeks of each other. Well, come on now!!!!! I have a son in college and I know what kind of abuse college students can dish out to their audio equipment. I'll bet you my Klipschorns that the bass was at 100% on the speaker control module and more than likely at max on their computer, and I bet that the volume level was at max too!!! These are terriffic speakers but they are not designed to provide disco level sound. When used properly, they will last for years. Don't blame the product when it fails from being grossly abused!
