Question for those with any speaker/audio/professional experience. Are the Altec Lansing 641 (4.1 system <400 watts>) comparable/ a good alternative to the klipsch promedia 4.1 speaker system? Any help would be appreciated. Thnx.

Question/Poll: What are some top-notch, sub $500, pair of speakers for the computer comparable to what the klipsch were "supposed" to be? In other words, what are some alternate speakers for the 4.1 set?

Justin, I meant 1/4 of the max volume..meaning 25%. I have not gotten around to trying the speakers w/ alternate sources. I should be receiving a new computer soon along with a new sound card, and will try them out on the new computer as well as my pocket pc as there is a stereo jack for that. The comp volume is at 1/2 and all equalizers, (winamp and the hercules game theatre xp console,) are set at an even flat level in the middle. I bought these speakers almost 6 months ago now and have yet to find a working pair. ::sigh:: Thinking of asking for a refund and going somewhere else if it won't work on the other equipment.

Alright, I am in the depths of promedial hell now. 3rd set of klipsch speaker replacements have arrived (from klipsch.com NOT best buy), and they still cease to function properly. The first ones wouldn't turn on. Second ones overheated. Now these have distortion in the bass in the satellites and the bass when turned up over 1/4 max vol. I have a Hercules Game Theatre XP sound card. I have tried every computer setting and that does not seem to work, before I throw in the towel, oh wise answering machine, can u inform me as to where the klipsch should be plugged into the xp sound card, and any possible comp fixes for distortion (besides a sledgehammer). Thnx
