Right, yeah and I was a little imprecise in my email; it's the Klipsch ProMedia *Ultra* 5.1 speaker system, as seen here with the *AWESOME* reviews on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-ProMedia-Multimedia-Speaker-Speakers/dp/B0000U I304 And I was the one who mentioned my sub was blown; from the comments on Amazon, apparently a very common problem...

Bino, I will 'assume' you are talking about a 5-speaker +Subwoofer Klipsch system. I have never used one of these. I still use my Klipsch V2.400 system and am very happy with it. I still use my original V1 Preamp module because I (personally) find the upgraded V1.1 Preamp module to be much less "musical." And, perhaps this is just my OLD Ears too! I like Klipsch. I also have Logitech on my main gaming kit. I have also used two versions of Bose. I don't need to duck, I donated my Bose stuff to my BroInLaw! Anthony mentioned SubWoof trouble. Yes, I do recall some trouble years ago with Klipsch SubWoof's, but mine still plays very well (and low smoothly!) after 8 years of use. I have never had a problem. I suppose I could quibble about some lack of "modern-day" interfaces. Klipsch has their own magic 2-into-4 logic. If one does not like it, then that is the end of discussion............ :) Personally, I run one PC on the Front channel and a 2 PC on the Surround channel. The Klipsch doesn't care and I get great sound from both PC's. I visit the Klipsch website every now and then just to see what's going on. Often, I see real deals/steals on "re-conditioned" older models no longer in the mainstream. I do so hope that Klipsch stays in this PC marketplace. The product does very good power with very little distortion. That is the best I can share. Best, Duncan Bino Gopal wrote: > Hey guys, thoughts on this computer speaker set?
