videoCWK Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hey everyone. To make a long story short, I can't find a pair of Promedia 2.1s anywhere. Best Buy stopped carrying them, they've been out of stock on the Klipsch site for a while, and every online store I can find either doesn't sell them anymore, or is out of stock. I'm starting to think they've been discontinued. Anyway, I really need a new pair of speakers as soon as I can get them. My old Logitech set died (they weren't that good anyway) and I'm stuck using some old Harmon/Kardons. The only speaker set(s) that seem comparable to the Promedias seem to be the M-Audio AV 40s or AV 30s. I haven't used them, but I don't like that Logitech pair that people say compares to the Promedias, and I assume that studio monitors will sound pretty good. The problem is, they really are made for people's home studios and whatnot, so they don't have a proprietary sub. I'm on kind of a tight budget, so I can't get an HT sub, not even a small one, and M-Audio's only sub ($500) is way out of the question. So I ask you, people of the Klipsch forums, what should I look for in a sub for my computer? Also, this is really an area of audio that I have never looked into. If I need an amp or some other component so I can actually set up both and control them conveniently, please let me know, and possibly give some examples. Thank you. Edit: I realize I should let you know my budget. I initially wanted to spend the $150 on the Promedias, so I don't want to spend a lot more than that. I suppose $250 is the highest I'd want to go, but I am flexible. If I need to, I'll go with the AV 30s rather than the 40s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 How does "Like New" for $119.99 with free shipping sound? http://store.high-techoffice.com/klprthx21pea.html Found this one on Google. Good luck! -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfoss99 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I posted a similar message last week. Amy said new shipments are arriving in November for ProMedia. Probably, will have to order directly from Klipsch Online. Check out the ProMedia sub-forum for her exact response. -KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest srobak Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Best Buy by me has several in stock on the shelf... no telling how many in back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have a pair ofAlesis Monitor Ones and an 8 inch Velodyne sub on my PC. The sub was given to me by my brother in law when he decided he didn't need it. I had looked at a Blue Sky MediaDesk 2.1 system, but they are $700. Pretty far out of my range. The Pro Medias are an excellent value for sure. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm really liking the Polk PSW10, since it'll be great for my room size (pretty small), and I can get it for around $100 new on Amazon. Also, I do kind of like the idea of getting a good condition Promedia set for $120, but I don't want to buy anything but new. I've heard of people having durability issues with their sets. I'm not that afraid of it, but I don't know anything about the previous owner, so even if it's in good working condition when I get it, some part of it could be worn enough to break after I've received it. I know I'm being a little overreactive, but I don't want to risk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
