My 400's work well after 2 years... Except... Volume control is very hissy and scratchy all of a sudden, like in the past month. Everything sounds fine but keep the hands off the knob! BUT... was it worth the money? I got the 400's when they were spankin new and they were expensive. Now the 4.1's are cheaper AND come with the cp-1 module.. that I can upgrade to for 50 bucks and I don't get the crossover, wah! I guess I would spend 15 dollars to add a headphone jack, but $50? Nowadays 100 bucks goes a long ways towards 'puter speakers... so you have to scratch the 'noggin. Pretty funny that I used to audio out to a 30 year old Nikko amp (that's ancient stuff, if you didn't know... I ditched the 8 track tho, pity) with some old pioneer speakers that cost me 20 bucks at a garage sale and it sounded as good or better.... (of course I can't get those speakers within 10 feet of my monitor, but nuff said) ...and it doubled as a room heater! Klipsch you listening? Sell me a cheap cp-1 dammit! My options vested this month and my HT rig needs new speakers... toss up between Klipsch and Paradigm... wonder which way the coin will fall for my $3k living room dollars...
