Hi! I have enjoyed my 4.1 Promedia Klipsch THX Speakers with Subwoofer over the past four years...which I purchased along with my Dell Dimension 8100 Pentium 4 Computer. I have recently found that two of my four speakers fails to emit any sound. Checking with Klipsch customer service, I determine that the problem is with two of my attachments to the back of my subwoofer. Since the system is out of warranty, the cost for diagnostic repair is $50, plus the cost of sending the subwoofer and main speaker back...which.. given it's heavy weight must be at least another $50. With the system's speakers so close together..I am not sure I am enjoying the full advantage of a 4.1 system. Should I just continue to use the two active speakers? Is it worth it to invest $100 at this point in time? Am I better off upgrading to a 5.1 system? Or....realistically speaking...is the closeness of my speakers to the flatscreen of my computer negating any sound differential that I can hear? Thanks for the assistance!
