Footnotes:

  • *Maximium Burst Power indicates the actual power this amplifier will deliver to the speakers under normal operating conditions. While the FTC power rating indicates power available on a continuous, long-term basis, multi-channel systems do not rely on that type of power. Instead, the amplifier is called upon to deliver large, short-term bursts of power to be able to support today’s digital music, games and movie formats. In addition to the required FTC power rating, we have provided the maximum burst output as a better indication of the product’s true performance.

Excellent Product
By Gayle, the music lover from Triangle, VA on 10/9/2008.
Cons: Excellent speakers
Describe Yourself: Musically Inclined
Pros: Powerful
Best Uses: Smaller Rooms
Great sound at a very reasonable price.
Not that Great
By ChicagoGuy from Chicago, IL on 10/3/2008.
Best Uses: Basic Systems
Describe Yourself: Musically Inclined
Cons: Poor Sound Quality
Pros: Powerful, Easy To Connect
Honestly, I don't think these are all that they are cracked up to be. First of all, they lack in the design element. They are very basic and blah looking. Second, the Bass is way to over powering. Even when you turn the bass down, it is still off balance. You do not hear the full range you would hope for in these speakers. Also, they do sound a bit shallow.
If you're thinking don't think anymore
By Bam bam from Northwest, MI on 09/2/2008.
Pros: Powerful, Easy To Connect, Compact, Attractive Design, Great Sound Quality, Simply outstanding
Describe Yourself: Professional
I have these in my office which is about 16 feet by 16 feet and they ROCK. Oustanding bass and clarity you won't believe the sound that comes from these. Others come to my office just to listen to their favorite tunes.
Buy this!!
By The Computer Guy from Palatine, IL on 06/4/2008.
Best Uses: Home
Pros: Powerful, Durable, Accurate mids and highs, Bang for buck is high, Sub has quality bass, Compact, Sub sats blend perfect, Good Sound Quality
Describe Yourself: Practical, Appreciate quality sound, Student
Cons: Thin speaker wires
Even though the speaker wires are thin, the sound is great. May even be improved with specialty Monster cables which I could not find in stock anywhere. The subwoofer defines bass notes well and is quite powerful, yet not very large. Satellites sound tremendously better than the usual speakers included with systems like this. Overall sound is very well balanced.
Sickest sound system
By Kelly from Chicago, Illinois on 06/4/2008.
Pros: Attractive design, Good Sound Quality, Powerful
Best Uses: Home, Smaller rooms
Describe Yourself: Student, Practical
I won these speakers in a raffle. I am so excited. I replaced my old stereo and computer sound system with this. It plays computers and everything else with the best sound quality I have ever heard. It's really small and theres very few wires. I can't believe the sound that comes out of these tiny speakers. They're AMAZING. Can't wait to take them with me to college in a few months :]
Excellent 2.1 system with Great Sound...
By Sparkle from Coast of NC on 12/17/2007.
Pros: Powerful, Easy To Connect, Compact, Attractive Design, Great Sound Quality
Excellent 2.1 system from Klipsch with good sounding subwoofer. You could use this with your computer system and be well satisfied. I'm using mine with my HDTV in my bedroom, as I converted the 1/8 plug into audio imputs, and I have an outstanding sounding system for games and movies. You can not go wrong with this 2.1 system...Downside is there is no remote, but not a problem with my setup, as I have control over my underdeveloped HD speakers, and these speakers really shine with Music DVD's. Controls for sub and volume.
Incredible Sound!
By RC from Miami, FL on 12/17/2007.
Describe Yourself: Audiophile, Tech Savvy
Best Uses: Audiophiles
Pros: Easy To Connect, Attractive Design, Great Sound Quality, Powerful
The sound of these speakers in great. Movies in my computer sound like a movie theatre.
Great speakers with full and rich sound!
By Iolabob from Kansas on 11/7/2007.
Pros: Attractive Design, Easy To Connect, Powerful, Great Sound Quality
Best Uses: Larger Rooms
Describe Yourself: Practical
I use them in multimedia presentations. These have plenty of volume and a full rich sound. It would be nice if they were a bit more portable for my application, but life is all about trade offs. I'll give up the ease of transporting to gain the sound I want.
Top of the line!!!
By t-rav from Atlanta, GA. on 09/26/2007.
Best Uses: Basic Systems, Smaller Rooms
Pros: Powerful, Great Sound Quality, Easy To Connect
Describe Yourself: Tech Savvy
It is what I imagined and more.... great speakers and sound for the money... top of the line... highly recommend it!
Tight bass, small package
By Mr. Boom from San Francisco CA on 09/25/2007.
Describe Yourself: Audiophile, Practical
Pros: Great Sound Quality, Compact, Powerful
Best Uses: Smaller Rooms, Basic Systems
I use this in my small studio. I'm pretty sure the subwoofer is going to get me in trouble one day. When it does, it will be worth it; this thing's got the most distortion-free bass I've heard in small unit.
Klipsch computer audio speakers
By Rick from Avon, IN on 07/20/2007.
Pros: Good Sound Quality, Durable, Powerful
Best Uses: Office, At Home
Describe Yourself: Practical
My daughters blew up our previous speaker system used on our desk top computer. I'm a HUGE fan of Klipsch having purchased 4 standing speakers for our home stereo and the docking stations for their ipods. These speakers lived up to the legend. Sound quality is great. [...].
fantastic sound
By dannyhod from mountain home, ar on 06/11/2007.
Pros: Easy To Connect, Powerful, Attractive Design, Compact, Great Sound Quality
Describe Yourself: Musically Inclined, Practical, Tech Savvy
Best Uses: Smaller Rooms, Basic Systems, Larger Rooms
I can't say enough about these speakers. I have 2 sets of Klipsch floor standing speakers plus a Klipsch center channel speaker. The sound of this set along with the subwoofer is beyond my expectations. A friend of mine has a pair and he told me how good they sounded. I was amazed when I first hooked them up and listened to them. Very large sound from such a small speaker.
Outstanding Sound
By mang0 from San Francisco Bay Area on 05/21/2007.
Best Uses: Basic Systems, Larger Rooms, Smaller Rooms, Audiophiles
Pros: Easy To Connect, Attractive Design, Powerful, Great Sound Quality
Describe Yourself: Professional, Practical, Tech Savvy, Musically Inclined
Cons: Slightly boomy sub, Cant adjust speaker angle, No mute button
I was immediately impressed and satisfied with the rich and realistic sound when listening to mp3s. I have to crank subwoofer way down to let highs shine through without "boomy" bass taking over.
Excellent Sound
By rj from Arizona on 02/26/2007.
Best Uses: Dorm Room, Home
Pros: Easy to Use
Excellent Sound, great base.
1st Class Computer Sound
By Gary from Peoria, Illinois on 12/12/2006.
Pros: Compact, Good Sound Quality, Powerful, Durable
This is my third set of speakers for my desktop. It wil also be my last. The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 is simply flat out superb! A sound investment you won't regret. Only regret is that I didn't upgrade to Klipsch sound for my computer long before I did! I hightly recommend this set of speakers.
INCREDIBLE!!!
By jimmy from Fullerton, Ca on 11/28/2006.
Best Uses: At Home
Pros: Good Sound Quality, Powerful
The sound quality is awesome. So much power my neighbors complain!!!
These Rock!
By Melsantacruz from santa cruz, ca on 11/7/2006.
Best Uses: At Home, Work
Pros: Good Sound Quality, Powerful
[...]These are great speakers, better than my previous Altec Lansings, and are Much better than any that I listened to in my search for new speakers. Do not buy those other speakers that look cool or flashy or that have more emphasis on how they look, It really is about how they sound! These sound amazing! THX = Yes!
Impressive speakers
By melsantacruz from santa cruz, ca on 11/6/2006.
Pros: Good Sound Quality, Powerful
Cons: None
Best Uses: Work, At Home
These are great speakers, it is hard to believe they are a 2.1 setup. [...]I have owned Altec Lansing (5.1) previously and the Klipsch are in another league all together. One day after setting them up they mysteriously quit working. I emailed Klipsch directly, they diagnosed the problem and sent a replacement pre-amp immediately. The problem was resolved (warranty, no cost) and my speakers are once again fantastic. I have colleagues who continually are blown away by these speakers and can't get over how powerful they are. I didn't believe the "THX" certification was that big of deal, but now I do. Movies are much more accurately reproduced and my music library is once again alive and awake, or at least I am more awake because of the speakers.
