dwb122 Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 Hey guys, new here. I've been looking around reading reviews of sound systems for my PC and it looks like the ProMedia is the one for me. However, after looking at the dates of most of the reviews these speakers are obviously relatively old. Anything better coming out soon, or already out, in the same price range? Also, I'm going to be hooking it up to my new Live! 5.1 sound card. Is it somehow possible to hook up an extra speaker and set it up as an extra (center) channel? Or would I be DOOMED to 4.1 with these speakers no matter what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwb122 Posted January 31, 2001 Author Share Posted January 31, 2001 hold a damn second. What's the difference between the ProMedia 400 and the ProMedia 4.1( http://www.klipsch.com/store/product.asp?dept%5Fid=1&pf%5Fid=019 )? Which is better, and how? WHen does the 4.1 come out? Oh, is it THX certified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 The v.2-400 is available only while supplies last. The newer 4.1 sounds a little better, has more features, and will cost more. Going out on a limb, I think most users would say either of these is better than 5.1 systems offered in this price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwb122 Posted February 1, 2001 Author Share Posted February 1, 2001 Arrggg I just can't decide! I guess I can shell out the extra 50 bucks. And Yeah, I'd rather have really bitchin 4.1 sound than anything any 5.1 system can offer in the same price range for DVDs. Better for gaming and music, too.

Baz Posted February 1, 2001 Share Posted February 1, 2001 New x-overs, on/standby switch, mp3 player jack and headphone jack. Sounds like the extra 50 bucks is well worth it in my opinion. Up here in Canada i payed $389.00 + 15% tax for the original pros,AND I'M STILL HAPPY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I just bought the 2.1's for $200 and they sound soo good I have no qualms about putting down another $200 for another 2.1 set for the rears. ROCK ON!
