| pinoycowboy's Full Review: Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 5 Speakers |
The 5.1 Klipsch Promedia speakers are quite possibly the best sounding satellite speakers I’ve heard in their price range. This includes home theater speakers like the Bose mini-cube speakers. With 500watts of power behind the dual-firing subwoofer makes for some room filling noise. Though it is obvious that the loudness of a satellite system cannot compare to that of a tower loudspeaker system, movie playback is unsurpassed. If set up correctly, these speakers are capable of filling small to medium sized rooms without a bit of distortion.
This system comes complete with 4 identical satellite speakers, a slightly larger center channel, a giant subwoofer, and a tower “control pod.” The control pod can be quite tricky because it is designed to detect the sensitivity of movement and can make changing the volume difficult. Once you get by this, the only remaining problems are its whopping price tag and lack of digital compatibility. In this case, I would have to say that you get what you pay for. If you are looking to create a computer based media center, these are the only speakers that I could recommend. Coupled with a good 5.1 sound card like the Soundblaster Audigy 2 and you’ve got yourself a kickin’ DVD sound system. As for the lack of being digital, there is an add on that goes for about $125 by Klipsch that digitalizes the speakers and can also act as a standalone receiver for a gaming console, DVD player, or TV.
If you have about $400 to blow, you’ll get a great system; if you have $500 or so to blow, you can get the digital add on that will give you a virtual dream system. Either way, these speakers are bound to blow your mind.
