I feel I should preface this post with the fact that I own an original set of promedia 4.1s purchased in 1999 and not the 2.1s. As I rarely connect the rear speakers anymore, and since this thread was active today I thought this the best place to complain/share. Anywho... After owning them six months the static volume knob twists began to manifest, but as I seldom adjusted the volume with the knob it was never really a problem. After two years and a move, the static riddled twists also often resulted in a loss of the left channel of audio (at the time, something I attributed to being damaged in moving). Starting today however, in addition the fun stuff above, the right channel has considerable distortion on all but the highest frequencies (call it 5-10kHz on up), and lowest volumes (probably just can't hear it). So I'm going by radio shack tomorrow to pick up my can of deoxit, but I figured I'd ask the community their thoughts before I pulled the trigger. Also, before I pm Mister Clean for a new control pod (what with its fancy on/off switch and accessory jacks), the company I work for is a direct dealer for Klipsch, and I was wondering If Klipsch themselves still offered the CP-1 so that I might purchase it at a discount. Well, thanks for listening, any help would be much appreciated. p.s. If you're out there reading this Klipsch... seriously, come on. At least publish the model numbers of the potentiometers used so people can do something. It's almost the least you could do, as opposed to the nothing you seem to be doing now. Perhaps when the Z-5500s drop under $200 shipped again...
