"These speakers have great sound but they also have a design flaw." quote ufopsi *** we have been mentioning the above quote many times over *** AGAIN, I will share with you what has worked for me over the past year plus + DO NOT power down the speakers using the volume control !!! If using the ProMedia ultra 2.0 as monitor speakers with PC or MAC leave them powered ON - 24/7 power consumption is minimal and you will continue to enjoy the audio hassle free. ***Murphy's Law does apply - Good luck Mates ! Si

"I've had a board member contact me about how I modified my speakers. Is anyone else interested in details or a how-to type document?" Sure, ...post the information below. Please give detailed instructions, ...thanks

Hunt, ...please read the above posted by 'Sine Wave', could be of help to you also ? [ DO NOT TURN THE SPEAKERS OFF ! - THEY SHOULD BE POWERED UP ALL THE TIME: >>> 24 / 7 <<< ] I also had given up hope but loved the sound of the ProMedia ultra 2.0 speakers, ...once I did not turn them off the 'self-muting' issue was corrected ! Good luck, Si

24 April 2009 [second follow-up] Since my last post dtd 13 April 2009, Amy and I have been in contact several times via email. The Promedia Ultra 2.0 speakers have been discontinued as most of you know and there are no plans by the engineering department to modify or correct the "issue" that we are discussing in this thread. I have read approx. half of the posts related to the issue, ...several suggest to leave the active speaker connected to the power source "on" > 24/7 < . I am happy to report that over the course of some nine days since I have tried this method I have not experienced the "self muting" or sudden "cut off" of audio at any time. For those of you who have posted here and have not tried leaving your Ultra 2.0 speakers connected to the power source continually, ...please give it a try. Let's hope that this method will also work for you! Regards, Si

This is a follow-up report from my first post on 31 March 2009: I sent an email to > Amy.Unger@Klipsch.Com < with a reasonable description of the existing "issue" with the Promedia Ultra 2.0. [approx. 14 days ago] With something like 144 posts related to the subject, it would be fair to say that the customer service dept. "IS" aware of the fact that the Ultra 2.0 speaker has a design or manufacturing flaw. I did receive a reply from Amy Unger requesting further information. I complied with her instructions and I am sorry to report that I have not heard from Amy or anyone at Klipsch as of this writing. I will continue to inquire Klipsch until a resonable conclusion or resolve comes forth. Si

I just reviewed the specs of the "Groove" model and it lists this; >>>drive components Full-range 2.5” fiber composite driver<<< If I understand this correctly, ...a "single" 2.5" speaker cone is the only active speaker in this enclosure ?

NICE

I was surfing the net looking for computer speakers and low & behold I found this thread. I have the exact problem described here with my Promedia ultra 2.0 speakers ! Purchased June 2006, the on / off volume control "routine" started after approx. 6 months use. The audio from these speakers sound amazing, ...so I learned to live with the problem. I noticed that this thread started in 2006, ...any permanent solution found yet ? Thanks in advance, Si
