Just wondering, I used to have some Promedia 5.1s but the amp had to be replaced twice. I would really like to have some Klipsch speakers again because I loved the sound, but I am afraid the amp would die. Are the 2.1s reliable?

I'm still not sure if it's the balanced issue or if it's because of the burned speaker post.. it seems worse in that channel. Plus there was this huge spark inside the amp. So now I don't even want to connect it to the speakers. I just want to get rid of it. Not to mention it smells like cigarette smoke when I have it on. I think I'm going to just get a Rotel or HK etc.. Tired of this no name brand amp..

That's ok, I'll just wait and get a integrated amp or something. I'd probably mess it up and fry something..

Time to fork out more money for a preamp I guess, sigh.. I just want to sit down and enjoy the speakers.

Yes I have the spikes but not the boxes.

Asking $1200 from forum members, I advertised them for $1250 on craigslist. Very good condition. Reason I'm selling is that they're overkill for my small basement. Plus, I just can't get used to the horn sound.

What do you mean unbalanced?

I set all the jumpers to off and the noise persists. It's not really a hum but a snow noise. It does it with the preamplifier disconnected so I don't think it's that. I was also wondering, what's that middle post for where the inputs connect, could that be the cause of the snow noise? Am I supposed to have a ground connected?

Too late... I just returned from getting the amp. What a waste of time, it's very powerful but the speakers make humming noise even with the gain turned down.

Cool, if he hasn't sold them yet I'll get them. Anything is better than my Sharp mini component system lol.

Somebody has a QSC USA900 amplifier (900 watts) for $150. Is that a good deal? How good/bad is QSC compared to Rotel, Creek, etc?

How much should I offer for the 4240? That is well within my budget.. I was looking at the Rotel 1080 but then I'd need a pre-amp which would put me slightly out of my budget (about $1k max). $275 sounds a lot nicer
