I actually have a brand new in the box one of these, = Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 Speaker System that I bought from Dell in April 2005. I also bought four wall hangers directly from Klipsch for the speakers. I opened the box and removed one speaker to see how the wall hangers worked and then put speaker back in the box. It has been untouched since that time. It always seemed too much of a hassel to install it with all those freaking wires. I wonder what it is worth today. Any idea?

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?
