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: sk80
from Macon, Ga.
In short, this is an overall great system. I promised my girlfriend a new set of speakers since we're doing some upgrades to our computer. I was comparing Logitech's Z4 and Altec Lansing's MX6021 to the Promedia. I wasn't impressed with the fake 3 drivers per speaker set-up of the Z-4's (really only one per stack), and since the nearest store with the Altec's was over 100 miles away, I never got to listen to them. Plus, too many reviews talked of constant static and hissing in that system. I am an admitted audiophile, so sound is very important to me, and Klipsch delivered.
Set-up was easy, though the power switch behind the sub is questionable, but I knew this already from my research. The size of the sub is great and the footprint is okay...I'm thinking of wall-mounting the sats. Make sure you have room for wires, 'cause there are plenty of them in length. And use the rubber feet included, else wise they will slide all over the place on the metal stands.
Now, about the sound: GREAT!!! Mind you, we were running on an old pair of 2 watts that were starting to go out, so of course the Promedia was a huge step up for the computer, but still they sound fantastic. The highs are a bit bright, but they do need to be broken in. The mids come through great, and the bass really hits; unless you really like a lot of bass, don't go past the little white mark...mine are shaking the room and windows at 9 o'clock volume. We've got ours equidistant from the screen and lined up with it, so the sound fields are on point with the monitor. We've run some of every audio we can through these, from jazz to R&B to soundtracks and classical music (listening to "Sweet Dreams in Purgatory" now).
The only real issue I can find is that the Promedia doesn't have a treble control, only bass and volume. Granted the control pod looks kinda cheap, but that would've been a nice control to have.
All in all, this system is money well spent.
What's great about it: Great sound, easy set-up, small footprint.
What's not so great: Stark looks, power switch behind sub, no treble/mid controls.
I would recommend this to a friend!
