I ordered the iFi's and they should be coming in pretty soon. Since I'm hoping to replace my minisystem/computer speakers with them, is there any way to use an FM tuner with them?

Sorry to bring up an (almost) dead topic [] Out of curiosity, how would the iFi's sound quality compare to the Philips FWC788 minisystem? I know nobody here probably has it, but I bought it a few years ago and was wondering how it compared to the iFi. The specs are on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006ANYF/103-6148277-8955848 and the manual containing more data is also on the page. The manual has some frequency responses listed on page 26, but I'm a bit confused on them, since several are listed. Anyone have an idea of how it would compare, just by seeing the numbers?

I really appreciate all the help so far. I think I might get these from Klipsch's eBay store. Unfortunately, I checked several local stores to at least see the speakers, but the only one who had it was CompUSA and they didn't have it set up. What are the dimensions of the satellites and sub? Are they a good size for a dorm (to use mainly as computer speakers but also for the iPod capability)? Also, how do these speakers connect to the computer? My current set of z-5300s have 3 connections: front, rear, and sub/center. Where do I plug the iFi's into my soundcard? If there's only 1 connection, does the iFi automatically adjust and send lower frequencies to the sub? Thanks again.

Thanks for all the replies! Does the iFi sound the same when playing either from the iPod or from the computer via line in? I thought I saw someone who said playing the iPod sounded better. Can you crank up the bass when playing games and put it back for music/movies? I know this makes it less accurate, but games are always fun with lots of bass[] Does sitting close to the speakers (using them as desktop speakers) degrade sound quality?

Actually Klipsch has an official eBay store. They are refurbished and still include a 90-day warranty. Basically, with shipping, the Promedias are $99 and the iFi are $196. Is it still worth 2x as much for them, and is it worth it to go refurbished instead of retail? I read that the satellites for the iFi were substantially better than the Promedia. Also, I believe the sub is 8" instead of 6.5". One of my main concerns about these speakers is gaming. I do a decent amount of gaming, although I also listen to music and watch movies. Would these speakers be good for games? (I have an Audigy 2 ZS, btw)

I currently have a set of Logitech z-5300 speakers. I think they are pretty good, but the bass does seem a bit boomy at times. I want to upgrade to some higher quality, 2.1 speakers, since they don't require as much room to set up. I had been looking at the Logitech z-2300, the Promedia 2.1, and the iFi. I was looking around and was semi-interested in the z-2300s because of their recent sale price and excellent reviews. However, some reviews mentioned boomy bass, so I decided to check other products. The Promedia 2.1's have gotten great reviews, and I just checked on the iFi's, and some say they are better than the Promedias. Seeing as they are a good price via the eBay store, here are my questions about them: How good is refurbished?How much better are the iFi over the Promedia for gaming, music, and movies? Are they practical to set up as computer speakers? Can I use the iPod dock and the speakers connected to the computer simultaneously? In other words, use the iPod to play through the speakers while the speakers are connected ot the computer.What's the size difference between the Promedias and the iFi? Thanks in advance!
