Are the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1ch 3 really that good? (I need to replace what I have and found them new at Best Buys for $129) - Thanks, Frank
The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 are some of the best performing speakers, but it's becoming harder and harder to find them. But I agree with the comments here -- if you don't mind buying used and can find a good deal on them, they are definitely a top choice.

I second that motion on Klipsch 2.1 speakers. I have two sets of these speakers and they are excellent. If you're looking for great all-around performance and don't mind hunting for sales on them, you'll get more than one what you pay for.
If you don't mind old-fashioned 2.1, Klipsch makes the speakers with the purest sound on the market - bar none.
Their 2.1 speaker set is usually around $200, but I pick up the occasional set on Ebay for $50 or so.
Like it or not, you can't beat the sound quality. Logitech's products, while well priced, are "tinny" in comparison.
