Amongst much debate and after looking for these speakers I decided to buy a 2.1 setup instead of the 5.1 promedia. I can tell you that these speakers are simply awesome. The range and clarity are next to none in this price range. I listen to many different types of music, but perhaps the hardest for headphones and non-quality speakers to reproduce is Zoe Keating "Legions War" (try on I tunes, it is a solo cello act that uses only the instrument for the full range of the sound dynamic. This speaker setup plays it beautifully. I use my setup in a small home office so the sub sounds much larger than it is. I wouldn't recommend this setup to fill a huge room as it wasn't designed for that but seeing as how it has performed so far I wouldn't be surprised if it exceeded my expectations. The unit has a marking on the sub level for what it calls "optimum bass levels" which I usually keep it at unless it is late at night and I don't want to disturb my roommates. The bass is definitely substantial enough for hip hop/ rap if that is your preference. Overall this is an excellent setup and well worth the money.
What's great about it: Sounds great, looks good and delivers that typical klipsch sound
What's not so great: Doesn't turn off unless you use the switch on sub
