Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 5 Speakers

Pros: Nice price point, Deep accurate bass, Solid mids and highs for multimedia speakers
Cons: Center channel bracket not lcd friendly, No remote, No internal decoder

Even though there are 14 reviews for this set of speakers I felt inclined to write a review because I don't see too many recent reviews written in the last year about the new ProMedia Ultra 5.1 which debuted in 2003. These are an upgrade to the previous ...

Pros: Ample power, clear sound, great sub.
Cons: No decoder.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a Klipsch freak fan or some kind of guy like that. I'm all about what sounds the best regardless of which company built them. With that said, I must say that within this price bracket, the Klipsch 5.1 ProMedia surround...

Pros: LOUD excellent subwoofer tight clean sound
Cons: unbalanced sound quality, strong bass, harsh highs and weak midrange lack of soundstage and dynamics

The Klipsch promedia 5.1 system is a perfect example of company bloat, rushed out the door just to cash in on the early market demand for a 5.1 system without even thoroughly testing it. Klipsch may know how to make speakers but electronics? Forget...

Pros: Awesome power. Superb reproduction of AC3 audio and DVD-Audio formats. Headphone jack. THX certified
Cons: Fidgety control pod volume knob. Port isn't big enough for the power of the subwoofer.

Well, I've owned these for a year and a half now, and I've just recently acquired a full THX certified setup and 5.1 audio; from the source material to the DAC and then to the speakers. My first impressions with these speakers, when I had only a 4.1 ...

Pros: Sound quality. Sound power. Controls. Overall quality of components.
Cons: At this price,....they could of thrown in a pair of wall mount brackets.

I have always been a fan of the Cambridge speakers. I recently decided to upgrade my sound card and speakers. I had a Soundblaster Audigy Platinum and decided to upgrade to the Audigy 2 Platinum. I also had Cambridge Soundworks 5.1. speakers. But decided ...

Pros: Great sound, good volume, functional controls, speaker mounted headphone jack.
Cons: Electronics are so poor that your speakers will be near worthless in a short time.

I owned these speakers for a couple of years and was exceptionally happy with them for about 18 months. Sound quality was very good (exceptional when compared to most other computer speakers), and volume capacity was excellent for their designed ...

Pros: excellent sound quality, great subwoofer, 5.1 sound
Cons: a bit overpriced

i'm a gamer. fps - first person shooters. quake III arena and unreal tournament are my two games of choice. i've been using cambridge soundworks 4.1 system for about 1.5 years and have been saying to myself: why would i want to spend $400 on a set of...

Pros: Best PC speaker on the market right now (2003)
Cons: No decoder, volume knob jumps around sometimes.

The Klipsch Promedia 5.1 speakers are simply the best PC speakers you can buy. When Klipsch first introduced their PC speakers it blew people away as no one was making quaility speakers for the PC. Other companies are starting to realize that people want...

Pros: Good Sound quality if all your playing is music
Cons: This system claims to be a 5.1 system but isn't.

Good Sound quality if all your playing is music and games, for true digital capabilities with an Aud ...

I have had these speakers for over a year, and I love them. This set of 5.1s can blast great sounding music right into your ear. The sub is very nice, sounds really good and hit really nice. Really good for Games and Music.
The speakers are very...

Pros: Truly the best sounding multimedia speakers
Cons: 4 returns in 18 months

As far as watching movies or listening to music on your computer, these speakers are going to give you the best experience, bar none. For the money, these speakers produce amazingly strong, deep bass that's not boomy or muddy. The highs are clean and...

Pros: Great Subwoofer, Great individual speaker control. Easy to setup.
Cons: Need Remote control for speaker. Slim documentation.

Pros: Clear, strong sound. Elegantly styled. Self contained.
Cons: They are "only" PC speakers not true multimedia. Extra acce$$ories get pricey.

I grew up with the Klipsch name and speakers as an integral part of my childhood hifi experience. I blew at least one pair of my dad's old Klipschorn speakers overplaying an old Eagles record or some such thing. So, when it came time to upgrade my 15...

Pros: tight loud bass, clear highs, slick look, and versatile setup capabilities
Cons: bit expensive and not digital

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...

Pros: Best PC sound available, earth shaking bass.
Cons: Quality control issues with amplifier and control pod (made in China).

I purchased these back in January from thee Klipsch website and I have been very satisfied. For $400 some might say you should be though. The bass is incredible, especially in games like Counterstrike. If you're a serious gamer these are a must. The only...
