GIGA Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 I'm a proud owner of the Klipsch v2 400 and about to invest in another pair of speakers paricularly the Klipsch 4.1. I have heard rumors of Klipsch releasing a 5.1 set by June 1st. Any details or where I can obtain this information. A website? I don't want to invest in the 4.1 this month and find out later that Klipsch will be releasing a new and maybe better product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quistes Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 Someone please respond and help us. i hope you understand how frustrating it would be to buy the 4.1's and get home to find out that the 5.1's are out and only a bit more money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btrigg Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 On the beta webpage they had a movie of the 5.1 for about 5 days at the beginning of may. They took it off like it wasn't suppose to be there, the movie said June 1st. Read the other topic I posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quistes Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 Do you know if they will be a pro media set made for the computer, or a HT system like the quintets? Im almost positive they are a HT system but i was wondering if you knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIGA Posted May 10, 2001 Author Share Posted May 10, 2001 Do anyone have the address to the Klipsch beta webpage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btrigg Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Yes, but I'm not suppose ot give it out, wait 5 days. The promedia line is pc only. Amy can you tell them that I'm not just making this up, PLEASE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quistes Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Yes, promedia is computer, but the new 5.1's arent promedia i dont think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 The new ones are Pros.. You can hook the Pros up to just about anything - all you need is a few cable adapters and you can hook it up to your HTS //Oh.. the reason they took t off was because tehy did not want the word out.. you weern't supposed to leak the info. beta testers are not supposed to leak the stuff they see. ------------------ 1GHz TBird Abit KT7A-RAID Kingmax 256MB PC150 Annihilator2 32MB GT§ Intel Pro100+Management NIC Promise Ultra100 IBM 75GXP 45GB ATA100 Maxtor DMP6800 27.2GB ATA66 Plextor 16X10X40A §ony 12X DVD §BLive! 5.1 AOpen HX08 Full Tower 300W §ony CPD-G400 19" Triny ProMedia 4.1 This message has been edited by Paragon on 05-11-2001 at 03:45 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quistes Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Ya, but Amy said the 4.1's are better for computers and the 5.1's are more for HT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwK Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 ohh yea!!.. at 5.1 set... hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm................ ahh well.

GIGA Posted May 11, 2001 Author Share Posted May 11, 2001 I already ordered the 4.1. I know I'm going to regret it when the 5.1 are coming out. I can't see myself spending more than $300 for computer speakers. I'm going to use my 4.1 as my front speakers and my v2 400 for my rear speakers. Its still going to rock. With 800 total rms watts how can you go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quistes Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Ya, im going to have my 4.1's tomorrow. Amy told me they are better for computers cause the 5.1's are more for HT. Anyways if they are 5.1 i cant imagin them being any lower than $150-200 more than the 4.1's, which is damn expensive. Besides i would have to upgrade my sound card i only have a sblive right now. Its outa my price range and they 4.1's are great, so im not gonna worry about it. i do have a dvd player in my computer but im sure downmixing to 4 channels will be good. Its this or the creative labs dtt3500's, and im not stupid. So klipsch here i come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btrigg Posted May 12, 2001 Share Posted May 12, 2001 I want to respond to paragon, Amy said it was ok to post on the forum about them, and said details on them are soon to come. Heres the message. We haven't settled on all the details yet, so I really can't give you much info. You can mention on the BB that you saw them in the beta test of the website, that's fine. Obviously we can't keep that under wraps since we let several customers in! We'll be making some announcements in the near future about the 5.1 and a decoder... Thank you, Amy Platt ProMedia Tech Support promediatech@klipsch.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
