Cleve Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I haven't bought any new Klipsch in a long time..... or posted here......but...... it was time to replace my computer speakers in my home office. The Promedia Heritage really caught my eye, so I thought what the heck? Ordered today from the Klipsch website - looking forward to receiving and trying out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleve Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 My ProMedias arrived yesterday afternoon - the first good sign was/is the heft of the box. I could tell it was a substantial system. The sub is massive - I've had Altec Lansing and Boston Acoustics 2.1 computer speaker systems - and this dwarfs the subs in those. Anyway, to make a long story short - I've had them for 16 hrs as I write this - they're wonderful. By far the best sounding computer speakers I've ever owned. I tried them with both analog and in Bluetooth. In Bluetooth mode, the remote integrates wonderfully with my Windows 10 laptop. Also, they look very sophisticated and elegant on my desk - not some little plastic 'jewel cubes' but real speakers. I love seeing the classic Klipsch logo on my desk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I really wanted to get them for my wife for her office but she uses The One there already and is perfectly happy with it. Klipsch really did a great job designing that set! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch really did a great job designing that set! The One is a nice speaker - A friend of mine bought one - he's not into audio that much but he appreciates the sound quality - it does sound good. BTW, my own wife wasn't that enamored with my purchase. lol. Her first question to me was "How much did those cost?" I told her $350. She replied - "Oh Je#$%" - lol 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleve Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 I've been listening to them all day while working - playing Pandora's Cool Jazz Radio station - I am absolutely delighted with this system - it sounds outstanding. And the fact they look like miniature Heresies - a huge plus!!! I found myself more than once fondly gazing at them on my desk. Love 'em!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never buy her an audio product again - lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleve Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Likes and dislikes so far about the Promedia Heritage... Likes Sound quality - amazing - the vast majority of Americans do not have a speaker system of this caliber - and it's just my laptop system. Anyway, I listen to music all the time now when I'm working or surfing in the study. Remote - great being able to easily adjust the sub level, as well as being able to mute and control volume without logging into my laptop or fiddling with a knob(s) on the system. Bluetooth - seamless - the Windows volume level pops up and shows the song playing and album cover art whenever I adjust the volume with the remote. And the system reconnects effortlessly to my laptop when I boot it in the morning. On-off - system automatically powers down when I shut down the laptop, and powers up when I boot my laptop. Aesthetics - just a beautiful looking system - what a great design choice to model them like miniature Heresies. I love looking at them - also the grills pop off just like regular speakers - love seeing a Klipsch horn driver built in. Dislikes - none Improvement - my only suggestion it would have been nice to have the remote connect wirelessly via radio or Bluetooth signal to the system like that of my Channel Master Stream Plus DVR's- instead of having to point it under the desk where I have the sub placed. That's a minor quibble. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quad Khorns Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I've had my Pro Media 2.1 computer speakers for something like 15 or more years. I may have got them when they first were offered. Mine are the black housings and THX certified. They are hands down the best computer speakers I've heard and are just very good speakers period. My subwoofer surround disintegrated about 5 years ago so replaced the entire subwoofer driver for about 40 bucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a minor quibble. I hate to burst your bubble Cleve but I highly recommend someone NOT comparing the regular Promedia speakers to the Heritage Promedia speakers because in spite of the regular Promedia's sub being smaller and lighter it somehow produces noticeably deeper bass than the Heritage Promedia sub because I actually own both sets and the bass from the Heritage Promedia system is really disappointing. Klipsch lied about it, it doesn't go anywhere near 29hz whereas the regular Promedia sub does go down to 35hz or at least that's what I hear and i'm a basshead who owns many subwoofers so if you just want a set of cool looking Klipsch computer speakers with bluetooth and a remote that produces some bass get the Heritage set but otherwise get the much cheaper regular Promedia's By the way, in a previous post, did you actually censor the word "jerk"?

Ratty Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I also have the original Promedia computer speakers back when it was offered by Compaq for free. 4 speakers. Back then the Promedia was offered as 4 speakers THX certified. I recently replaced the rubbers around the subwoofer. Amazingly, Klipsch had the parts! These speakers sound amazing and are perfectly sized for computer operations and music and gaming. I see NO reason to replace them other than with parts if they are still available when they wear out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bursting my bubble. I've heard both sets- and the Promedia Heritage are superior in every way for music. You may be confusing exaggerated bass for game playing with proper bass. BTW, I haven't censored anything. Not sure what you're even talking about, but new members shouldn't start flaming long time forum members for no good reason. I will warn you once. Thank you.
