Zubs Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hi guys, I'm a ever so slightly disgruntled ex customer of Klipsch from the UK. After looking forever for someone in the UK that sells the thing, and dissapointed with the lack of a 220v version of the 5.1s I bought the 4.1s from their only UK dealer. Few months in the things blow. Klipsch didn't want to talk to my dealer (hehe) and so I went for the refund. Spent the money on a set of Acoustic Energy Aego5s for jus £80 more. Bloody chuffed, sub kicks *** and the amazing sats sound (hmm another word for amazing) astounding. Took freakin ages to get a refund sorted for the 4.1s so not got a fresh ear full of the Klipsch to compare accuratly. But I'm sure they're better hehe. So if your looking for a alternative in the UK go for these. I'll eat my words if in a few months these blow too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian_Rhapsody Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 i agree with you, the 4.1s suck. Both the 120V version and specially the 230V version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnovaZero Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Suck, how does it suck. Ok maybe 2.1 is better for music, but 4.1/5.1 was optimized for DVD's and gaming, while 2.1 was optimized for music/games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian_Rhapsody Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 alright here's the truth, i have heard two variations of 4.1s. One that sounds pretty cool with a more enveloping effect than the 2.1s.... but still the bass limiter kicks in too early as compared to the loudness of bass on 2.1s.... and i don't mind the rears in music. The other one sucks bigtime, the sound quality is not good at all, infact i enjoy the quality of my altec lansing ACS33 ($50) more than those PMs, and i am not kidding, the bass limiter as usual kicks in too early. I have heard two of those crappy 4.1 sets.... crappy right out of the box.... as far as 5.1s are concerned i never commented on them, infact i never got the chance to hear them, but i can conclude that they are awesome WHEN they work.

InnovaZero Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Honestly, I just wish klipsch made a slightly bigger port, because air turb. hits far too quickly and drops the bass down 3db, I hate it. I'm thinking of sticking some polyfil around the drivers and port, maybe keep down the rattling in the port. however I have to test some more, cause I don't know what it would do as far as freq. response, or transient response.
