Klipsch THX ProMedia 5.1 Computer Speaker System

I've had this Klipsch setup for almost 10 years (2002) and they still rock. When they were introduced in 2001 and they set the standard of Hi-Fi PC speakers. I did have the amp serviced (not uncommon, after it 7 years of good use) by Klipsch a couple of years back for around $100 and they sound better than ever. The original suggested list price was $349.99 for these amazing speakers. They are hooked up to an Auzentech Meridian 7.1 sound card with a LM4562NA OpAmp mod. With this PC setup, I can listen to my music and video in 5.1 and get a lively soundstage in HD high fidelity. Otherwise, I connect my Audio-Technica ATH-A700 headphones to the phones port on the control tower and it sounds really good, too. Below are some original marketing and product specifications:

ProMedia 5.1 THX-certified, six-piece computer audio system transforms your desktop into a high-performance audio entertainment center. Its exclusive Klipsch MicroTractrix horn maximizes digital technologies such as CDs, MP3 downloads, streaming radio programs, and other popular personal audio applications, and delivers a level of power and accuracy never before available. The 500-Watt digital hybrid amplifier driven ProMedia 5.1 incorporates a convenient headphone jack as well as a miniplug input that makes it compatible with gaming consoles and most portable audio devices

This is a discontinued product.

The THX®-Certified ProMedia 5.1 personal audio system was first introduced in 2001 and manufactured by Klipsch until 2003. While no longer in production the ProMedia 5.1 is still owned and listened to by Klipsch fans around the world.
