You can quite easily make your own for a lot less... just requires a little solidering.

alright, i finally remembered to reply to my post..... anyways, i did my mod about 3 weeks ago. Basically what i did was open up the speakers, take off the minijack/monoplug wires, pop the plug off the back of the speaker, and solder 14 gauge speaker wire directly to the circuit board feeding out the back of the speaker. After a foot or so outside the speaker I attached bananna plugs. My speakers now sound slightly better (I did the original cable mod before) and the mids seem slightly clearer. And... NO STATIC, no probs with moving them now- these plugs don't have to be jiggled around. Total cost was probably $25 or so, and about an hour to do.

Just because I was bored I opened up one of my 4.1's sats to see how the crappy miniplug connection was connected to the actual speakers. It looks as though it could just be taken off very easily and replaced with some binding posts for a much better connection. Has anyone tried this before? (Yes, I know it would void the warrenty....)

Yeah, me too. Except the static/buzz is only in the front channels when certain frequencies are playing. I'll post again on what frequencies in a little bit.

Actually, the GTXP is a 8 channel sound card, just 2 channels are being used in headphones right now (dual 4 channel codecs). So technically a 7.1 sound card does exist.....

Is there a way to pay Klipsch $100 and trade a 4.1 system in for the 5.1 system?

You must be missing something, I have the GTXP and for decent volume I have the 4.1s set on half, the wave volume at 100% and the main volume at one mouse wheel scroll above 0...this is easily good enough for quieter but nicely audible listening when you don't want to impress your friends!
