The Klipsch's are your typical overpriced electronics, similar to Alienware is for gaming PCs (which also suck IMO). Granted, Klipsch has some good stuff, but there is better for less. Klipsch knows they have a name, and what the masses are looking for (hence not exactly "natural" sound). On the other hand, having a good boost on either end of the sound spectrium says that the system has adequate amounts of power to run the drivers. Anywho...
I recommend the Planar Monsoon 14s. Do a search for Monsoon. There are several auctions on eBay that are ending soon at extremely reasonable prices.
I personally use SonicXS 2.1s by Telex. These are very good for music, but not exactly natural. http://www.telex.com/computeraudio/p...s/EVSonicXS2.1
They have a definite hump in the lower midrange because of the 4" midrange cones. The horn loaded tweeters are good, but very directional, and very crisp. Also, I can swear to you that there is an unadvertised 50hz high pass on the woofer. Anywho, these speakers sound perfect if EQed. And jeez, I just can't get over that club speaker look!
