    I'm back!! Anyone miss me?  I sold the famous duct tape ProMedias back in 2014.  Fast forward to the other day.  Found a pair of the satellite speakers for a the ProMedia at Goodwill.  For $2.99 they just had to come home.  I have already removed the volume pod. I think I will be setting these up on my small desk for the computer.  No sub, but I will put together one of my small class D amps.  Gotta be better than the sound bar I am using right now.

    Sweet. I'm currently rocking a set of Quintets for my garage system. Still rocking the original ProMedias on my PC though. I've had to replace a couple foam surrounds and the volume switch is scratchy but for 25ish years of rocking I'm not complaining.

  2. finally got my replacement drivers. felt like 2 years, not 2 months.

    didn't realize how much i would miss my system till it was gone. headphones only work for so long. [:P]

    2 drivers under 60 usd shipped to the door. luckily the 2.1 drivers are the same as the old 4.1's, just needed two instead of one.

    now to only have the control to break them in properly.[6]

  3. i think i won the oldest set. :P

    now where's my prize? perhaps a set of the infamous hofy duct tape mounts? lol

    but unfortunately i just blew the foam surrounds off my sub-woofers.

    first repair i've ever had to make, and i've beat the snot out of these things for 12 years now.

    i'm starting to think they may bury me with these things.

  4. hi all.....

    been a long time.just thought i'd stop in and see whats up.nice new look. [:D]

    anyway i think i have ya all beat.looking at my reciept now and it says 12/07/99.... [:o]

    i remember reading the first review i ever saw on them in pc gamer.i ordered them the next day and have been rocking ever since.they still impress friends that come over.

    i must admit though the last couple years i've been wondering if these things are ever going to die.i've been eyeing the 5.1's but cant seem to bring myself to replace these till they are dead.and thats not happening.

    edit: omg look at my system specs in my sig... lol lol

    that system has to be dam near as old as my speakers.that was definetly many system rebuilds ago. lol

  5. ok i haven't been around in awhile but i thought i'd stop by to see if any of the old timers were still around.

    i've been wanting the 5.1's since they came out but i just can't kill my 4.1's.i've owned them since they were first reviewed in pc gamer about 4 years ago.i read the article and just had to have them.its been pure audio bliss ever since.since i bought mine i am single handedly responsible(with alittle help from the 4.1's2.gif )for costing the price of these speakers to alot of my friends.

    someday maybe i'll have my 5.1's but for now i guess i'll just keep rocking with the good old 4.1's.

  6. this one hurts.but comp 1 also.

  7. well i do alot of lanning so i see these vid cards side by side and the best deal is the 8500le(170$).before the gf3 i would of said the ati for sure but the graphic qaulity between the two are now unnoticeable.and i really cant see any 2d qaulity diff anymore either.although to be honest i mostly game on my system so i dont know if id be the best judge of 2d.if you do decide on a nvidia i would suggest the plain old gf3.by far the best bang for the buck.

    as far as ati drivers,yes they are alittle slow in comming out but the ones now close any performance gap there was and any additional updates will outpace the comp evenmore.

  13. well i'm not that worried about turning the power to the speakers off but the headphone jack would be nice.no sound enhacements though?not that i'm not happy but there's always better.
