    A moment of silence please...

    ...thank you.

    Sound, A+. Durability, C-.

    So sad, but let my tale serve as a lesson to others.

    Loved mine when I had it. Rather than buy in again, I got myself a small Klipsch surround speaker set and a separate receiver.

    I had the same pair. Lasted me from 2001 till 2006ish. Subwoofer went to the great sound studio in the sky.

    Yeah, my c was for it's untimely death. What a great system, I feel sick (and also a little pi&&ed that my $200 lasted only a year). It was an amp meltdown inside the sub.

    I just saw people are selling the subs cheap on ebay, I think I'll buy a sub and try again :)

    Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's are by far, the best speaker system you can buy in that price range. When you do side-by-side comparisons with other speaker systems, they blow everything else out of the water.
