I saw this at costco yesterday and loved the demo they had but was wary because I came to same conclusion as you did for the previous model. Came home and found both your videos. I will be buying these and have subbed to your channel. keep it up!

[@voiceofreason9238]

You answered all the questions I had for the Heritage Promedia 2.1. Excellent review. For the next iteration I would ask Klipsch for a center speaker for 3.1. I bet it would blow 99% of the sound bars into the weeds.

I believe in the early 2000's, Klipsch sold a Promedia 5.1 or 7.1 system. If memory servers correctly, they were colored silver.

[@jp6951]

@@0326Hambone I bought the Klipsch 5.1 speaker system in late 2000/2001 - it was all black. It was awesome. I still have it packed away in the original box. In early 2014, I heard a rattling sound coming from one of the speakers. I removed the grille and noticed the foam around the cone had ruptured. I ordered a repair kit but during my repairs, the cone was slightly off-center. If I recall, it did improve the speaker. I ended up buying Definitive Incline speakers and have used them since. When I get a chance I'll unbox the 5.1 system again to see how it sounds.

I just ordered a pair. I already have a Klipsch 5.1 set from 2000/2001, but it is boxed in storage. I like the look of the Heritage line. Perfect for our dining room. Looking forward to testing it out. I will pair it with a WiiM Mini.

The speaker wire problem as well as being equipped with a remote solved all my issues that I had with the original pro media 2.1. Just ordered these for a small room.

I never seen anyone so excited!!! Klipsch is watching your video and making the changes they should they cannot find a better ambassador. You are reason I went ahead with the purchase. Thanks for the amazing review really helped me to decide.

You night be right. They might also be reading the comments. There was a software update a few weeks ago and it solved lots of what folks were complaining about.

[@fakenewsisthenews3542]

I think the walnut looked really cool and have a retro vibe

[@ashjcoronado]

I was considering adding these to my desk setup as I used the regular Promedias 2.1 in the past and these look like a nice upgrade but two things kept me from it: it only connects to your computer via analog 3.5mm jack and I wanted a USB capable speaker to bypass the DAC on my laptop and get a cleaner look plugging the USB port at the back of my monitor, second thing is the subwoofer is ported and I wanted a sealed sub which is supposed to be better for music... I ended up going with the Audioengine A2+ with the matching S6 sealed sub instead for a bit more but they were a better match for my setup anyways in aesthetics.

[@lowKut]

Great review ✌️ I like these speakers I bought them after watching this but will be returning them as I don't think they are any major improvements from the previous model when it comes to sound quality. I already have the previous model without Bluetooth and the power button. Nevertheless, they are AMAZING speakers and sub combo. 5:38 you can remove the grill if you press in and pull out.

[@RdandTrk1]

I have the old Pro Media 4.1 THX set from the early 2000s, and just purchased this. I agree with you that it's not a huge upgrade in sound quality. The upgrade in sound quality is incremental, mainly coming from less punch but more refined bass. The main upgrade is admittedly subjective, but IMO is the aesthetics.

[@richardw6592]

Klipsch hit there high peak on cpu speakers and a powered subwoofer way back in the day, it was a 4.1 THX and it was powered on the dual 6in sub with a Bash amp which was awsome, till a year ago... an it finally just tanked out on me. But respectfully, they were old, thinkn late 90's early 2000's.. But I had changed the foam around subwoofer speaker, but man that set would shake your room with that lil sub. Wanna say it was 500 watt sub, but I kept reading 400 elsewhere. Woulda been cool to heard the specs on these new ones, I may missed it tho. Dunno why some1 like klipsch will not put a gr8 over top cpu speaker set. Seems every1 gave up on tower table cpu's. Shame...

[@AndreaMcNeely220]

Your review focuses so much on the aesthetics but you only give cursory comments on the sound quality which is the most important part. Since the Heritage Promedia set is priced at almost double the original model, is there an improvement in the sound quality?

Do these hook up to a audio Technica LPX70BT with a phono preamp and magnet cartridge. These are on sale today cant find any information but really need to stop procrastinating any help would help thanks

Hi. quick question. where is the 3.5mm earphone port for using earphone? on original promedia it is located on one of satalite speaker. I don't see any on this speaker system.

[@MyCentsTX]

@Bangtang_Aje all the connections are in the back of the subwolfer. There's no 3.5mm jack, however. There's a rca connections, so I bought an rca to 3.5mm wire.

I have this model, several observations from the unit I got: 1. the sub doesn't "rumble" the same way a 200w 10 inch sub does 2. without the sub, the satellite speakers sound THIN, sub is needed for the body 3. once it goes to sleep, it takes quite a lot of input to wake it up. This causes it to go from silent to very loud in an instant 4. This sounds 90% identical to the original promedia 2.1, which costs around $150 less than this. Yes I have both systems.

This is the comment I was looking for. I was curious how the subwoofer differed from the original pro media but if the 8 inch 100 watt is still unimpressive then this us a waste. I rather buy a used powered R-41 or 51 and the 12 inch sub from klipsch or other manufacturer

[@RdandTrk1]

I have the original Promedia 4.1 THX as well which is touted as a 400w system. The sub is a dual 6.5 unit. I've been running it like the the 2.1 though opting out of the 3rd and 4th satellite speakers. I just purchased this Heritage system. Your comment is pretty spot on. I'd even say that the old dual 6.5 sub is punchier than the new 8, but also muddier. Overall the new Heritage system produces IMO higher quality more "audiophile" like sound, but is not a HUGE improvement over the old Promedia sets. Also, updating the firmware solves a great deal of the problems in your number 3. However, it my system the channels will still intermittently shut off at very low volumes.

[@wojtekpaka4022]

Is it worth buying this set, the bass plays very nicely and doesn't make any crackling sounds?

[@gregchurch]

I appreciate the review. I have been considering these speakers and believe I will purchase based on your video. Good luck with the channel.

[@thxsubwoofers]

I hope Klipsch volume control and bass control on the subwoofer doesn't have flaws. I'm curious how the remote control works with the controls behind? If the subwoofer control or volume control behind is set to 25% and then you use your remote, does the remote control override the analog control knobs? Even if the volume/bass knob on the subwoofer says it's at 25%? I hope Klipsch doesn't have defects like how Razer Nommo Pro had defects with Bluetooth. My Bluetooth on the Razer Nommo Pro stopped working within 2 weeks of use because I was using the app to turn off and then use the analog button to turn it on. Anyways let me know and if you do testing on the remote with the controls on the back of the sub.

[@MyCentsTX]

The knobs for bass and volume are actually digital. You can spin them around as much as you want. There's no stop to them

[@radarmgmt]

Got these. They're great. Super happy with them. no buzz no issues. only negative is that they turn off if not being used for a certain period of time so everytime i come to my desk i have to turn the system back on. any workarounds?

Please compare sound with the THX Promedia. The Heritage version has a bigger 1” Dhorn tweeter and 8” Sub (compared to 0.75” and 6.5”) so expecting Heritage to sound better comparatively

@My 2 Cents. Well, the "other" speakers you are referring to before these were bad and are still bad. Now, the Klipsch 2.1's from 2000 that were made here in America for a handful of years before they were ultimately also cheapened up significantly with production moved to China were of excellent quality due to materials used only because the speakers were detachable and you had a proper Class D amplifier that resulted in phenomenal sound. they were heavy and robust as quality demanded in that type of circumstance. Around 2003 / 04, the Klipsch 5.1 Ultra's were released at $399. I in fact have 4 pairs of these. 2 for parts, and 2 that have been rebuilt with fans added. While I don't expect you to go out and seek a pair of the 5.1 Promedia's ... you should as they are breath taking. I have these new "heritage" 2.1's and they again, are not that great. However, if you are new to the 2.1's, they are better than most other PC oriented sound solutions. Again, the amp has been cheapened up and the sound quality, the power is all but gone now. I really wish you had a proper comparison between the old OLD models and these speakers. In short, the Klipsch 2.1's used to be a very excellent speaker system but over time as one might expect, they have cheapened everything up. Depending where you live, you can put up a "watch for product" search on Facebook market place for "promedia" and or "klipsch" and eventally you will find the old speakers and usually for cheap. You want the 2.1's with the serial at the bottom and detachable speaker wires. In fact, research this a bit more so you know what to look for. You are looking for the 2.1's from roughly 20 to 17 years ago, in that time frame. Seriously do this. The older speakers are somewhat rare to find, but it can be done. It would be a fun challenge for you. You will be shocked at home much better these older 2.1's are. It's a night and day difference.

I was EXTREMELY happy with my Promedias, which I initially bought in 2002 (the 4.1 system, which sadly were destroyed in a fire), and then the replacement 2.1 that I bought in 2005, now after 17 years of faithful service, one of the clips on the amp at the back of the sub broke, and it actually still worked fine for the past 6 months, until the wire for that loose clip section became fidgety and added static. I kept moving it around to get non-static feedback, and it ended up smoking the amp. It might still work, but don't want to risk it. I loved this system to bits, so I'm hoping this new "Heritage" version will at least be on par with quality and durability.

[@docmadhattan]

For anyone else reading, I should be picking up an Edifier S350DB system over the next couple of days, which I found at a discount. Based on everything I read, it should be a solid step up from the ProMedia, but let's see. I'll wait to comment on a comparison, but based on price alone, where I am (Canada), the retail price of the Edifier system is near double what we can get the ProMedia 2.1 THX for. If I didn't find the Edifier system at this discount, I'd probably go for the ProMedias again. Will update if anyone replies and is curious to know.

@@docmadhattan Quite curious to know how the 350db’s sound! I’m looking to either buy the Edifier S360DB set or this Heritage 2.1 set. Would love to hear from you!

[@docmadhattan]

@@ijuicedd8019 Hey, so overall I'm happy with the S350DB. It's a bit of a different sound and not as in your face as the ProMedias. It's possible that my ears just got used to the way those sounded over the course of 20 years. The only thing that's bothered me really is the relative loudness. The Edifiers peak out fairly quickly in volume compared to the ProMedias, though I don't know about the heritage system. I picked up the S350DB brand new for $330 cash btw. If I had to choose again I'd go with the ProMedia. I just love the way they sound. The S350DB is also fairly premium and there are sounds I've heard on there that I didn't hear with the Klipsch, but personally I really enjoyed how the ProMedias "pop" and really highlight aspects of most music, whereas the Edifiers, in my experience, are more neutral. I may put the Edifiers in another room for guests to use and pick up another set of the Klipsch for main use. Im surprised how attached to them I've gotten. 20+ years is a long damn time.

Thank you, will give them a listen, and hopefully replace my current Promedia with them.

The older thx version is 250watt it’s more than the new one ?

[@baronofgreymatter14]

They sound ok. The trouble I had with these is that they would go to sleep after 30 mins unless you moved the remote. Didnt matter if you were gaming..were in a voice chat channel the speakers just stopped playing unless you wake it up. You cant override it

Costco. They're expensive to them

@@MyCentsTX I was being sarcastic, I have the original pro media speakers on one of my computers …. They sound excellent for the price. However on my Mac Pro I have “the sixes” hooked up via optical out. They sound profound!

@@MyCentsTX worth every penny! Plus the Bluetooth and other connectivity options are handy and use the same remote as your pro media heritage there

[@limrui6930]

Got a pair and love them, been using them almost daily for the past few months. However, I'm facing an issue - the speakers tend to go into 'sleep' mode and I noticed a few seconds delay in the audio when I use them again. Anyone have any solutions to this?

[@JackWitzke]

I saw some other comments online that there is an update you can install with a USB stick that fixes that issue- I would look into that!

hello could you tell me if these or the are better klipsch the fives?

Can I just Bluetooth my phone directly to these speakers?

Absolutely, I do it all the time

[@ggc7318]

@@MyCentsTX Thanks 😊

[@bluesnickaloaf772]

I just received these speakers and I'm hearing a slight hum / buzz that's really only noticeable when there's no music playing. Doesn't matter what source, it's always there. It only plays a few seconds after music stops playing. Do you have this problem with your speakers? Other than that problem these are a really great 2.1 system for the price and your video led me to buying them thanks!

[@MyCentsTX]

Not at all. I'd return them. I had that issue with the regular ones, but not these. They're perfectly quiet

[@bluesnickaloaf772]

@@MyCentsTX I was worried that would the case. I'll have to get a replacement then. Thanks for the help :)

[@Swing_Twice]

Not sure if you had a system on the previous power setup, but sometimes a hum can come from a grounding issue with your electrical wiring in your home. If you're on a really nice power conditioner, that can clear that up. If you're in an older home at all, I'd be more suspicious of that than the speakers.

Loa này so với edifier s360db thì sao vậy mọi người. Mình dùng máy tính, Cùng giá nhưng cổng kết nối e này ít quá với cứ 10p off 1 lần. Với thấy âm lượng ae kêu bé. Mình đang dùng con s350db nghe khá ok

[@nickdibiase3152]

are these not the ones on amazon?

[@mariushmk]

Promedia heritage 2.1 or Edifier s360db 🤔? For smart tv :).

[@richardphysician5640]

Can't be any help but I just bought these (here 5/3) today. I'm hooking up MY Edifiers to my ma's tv.

[@mattd313]

I know you said it's a little better than the older version ProMedia, maybe more crisp. How about volume? I feel like I turn mine up half way and it's super loud but also not clear. I don't need more volume, but I want the volume to be handled well. Any thoughts on that? My ProMedia sub just blew... so I'm either replacing the sub, replacing the system, or upgrading to these!

[@java2894]

is it costco canada ?

[@austinjacobsen7887]

Were you able to get the grille off of the subwoofer?

[@MyCentsTX]

No. I tried again, butdid not like the sound it made lol I think its glued

@@MyCentsTX hmm, Klipsch usually makes their grills removable. Well, I ordered from Costco because of this video so I guess we’ll see when I get mine :) thanks!

So is this a good option for plugging in my turntable?

They're on Amazon guys lol.. Idk if somethings changed in the last year or not but they are 100% on Amazon and in stock

[@sears62]

Are these made in America or China? just curious. Trying to decide between these or the KD-400 or maybe even KD-51M

[@MyCentsTX]

Good question. I had to pull the box out and look all over. On the bottom of the box it says "Engineered ... in USA. Made in China"

[@sears62]

@@MyCentsTX thought so, all of them are made in China so it is what it is, thanks

[@sears62]

KD-400 had shitty amp that cut in and out when there’s a millisecond of silence in a song (like when a breath is taken with air instruments). I ended up spending more $ on KD-51M and a NAD amp and I’m extremely pleased with the results. A significant step up from any of my numerous other desktop audio builds.

Not much data on them yet, but they sound great. I'd probably have to turn the sub down a little for hard rock and metal
