I ordered the same 4.1s refurbs off ecost.com too. I had to wait a month, because they were backordered through Klipsch. I just got them today, and they f-in ROCK! My bro has the 5.1s, and these sound just as good (minus some bass). They look & sound brand new, what a deal for $119. Only two small things bothered me, no owners manual, and no Y splitter.
Now I need a 4.1 capable soundcard. I've read good things about Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. What do folks think about this card matched with the 4.1s?
Enjoy dude
