Computer Speakers

Bought the Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 (wired) speaker system for my laptop. First Klipsch speakers of any kind I've owned.

Going from laptop speakers to any other speaker system would be an improvement. However, I think these things sound absolutely fantastic. I once owned some Boston Acoustic computer speakers which were excellent. But these take it to another level, with a big and open sound that rivals decent stereo systems, imo. Pretty awesome for $149 new.

Two Channel Setup:

Speakers: Wharfedale Opus 2-3
Integrated Amp: Krell S-300i
DAC: Arcam irDac
Source: iMac
Remote Control: iPad Mini

3.2 Home Theater Setup:

Fronts: Klipsch RP-160M
Center: Klipsch RP-160M
Subwoofer: SVS PB12NSD (X 2)
AVR: Yamaha Aventage RX-A2030
Blu Ray: Sony BDP-S790
TV Source: DirecTV Genie

    They are definitely awesome speakers...
    The THD on them is kind of high, but that's expected.

    I've used them extensively and like them. Currently use M-Audio BX4's though!

    Same here, use M-Audio speakers for my laptop computer. Most computer speakers are simply too cheap and don't cut it. I guess the Klipsch must be an improvement to most computer speakers out there and the pricing is right too :cool:

    •Line in / Phono in* (2 x RCA jacks)
    •Line out (2x RCA jacks)

    I wonder if these guys have a TRS / XLR output version of this box for balance purpose? I'd like to use such a box with my M-AUDIO and hate not to use them balanced...
