@@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.

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.

Hey, love ur channel! Will the bass and sound provided from these be sufficient for my livingroom? Also with playing from vinyl? I saw that they are your 3rd choice as opposed to the fives or the sixes, but they are abit pricey to me

[@Applecompuser]

I think I might get these if they are not too expensive. My other thought is to get another altise Amply speaker for $10 per month. I hate the company, but the speaker is amazing. Good bluetooth. Speaker quality and bass really good. Thanks for posting.

[@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!

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.

[@Golddragon214]

@@ijuicedd8019 No problem. Ive had these for few months now and have had few issues.One issue I have had is that when your source volume is low the speakers turn off as if there is no input. To fix this I turned my amp up as if it didnt matter. Adjust the volume with the remote for the speakers. The speakers themselves sound about the same as the Audioengines I had before but with a sub there is more range. The sub sound OK but is not like one of the Klipch subwoofers you might have on a bigger stereo system. I use this system on my computer as I listen to music a lot while doing other things at my computer. Im using an PS Audio Sprout for an amp that is connected to my computer. As of now Im seeing lots of these for sale on Ebay for less than you can find them for sale on any other site. But many have problems and one can never be sure if they function like new. Good luck and I hop you find something that works for you.

[@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.

@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.

Very nice presentation on Klipsch new version 2.1 I have the older version with THX which later Klipsch removed that name on the other line I bought at Costco. That version line doesn't feature the THX so I have one and the other. This new version is more appealing with that classic heritage line look. I'm sure there is a bit difference in sound quality and nice with features such as a remote and moon switch to turn off sub while the other versions you have to turn down the sub volume knob. I didn't really notice a difference with the THX version and the line after that.

[@joepro3562]

I've been reading up on the Promedia 2.1 bluetooth without THX certification and the article I read stated Klipsch has to fork over a lot of money for testing to get the new setup THX certified, which would raise the price of the unit.

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.

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.

[@reck0n3r]

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.

@@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.

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!

[@iggynor5007]

can it connect to a PS5?

[@theeye9033]

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

[@MyCentsTX]

My 1st choices would be the fives or sixes, but I think these would make a great no3

[@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

[@austinjacobsen7887]

@@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!

[@austinjacobsen7887]

How tall are the speakers?

[@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.

I use “the sixes” via my Mac prod optical out and my god I’m spoiled.

[@chronot1342]

How does it connect to a computer, does it have 3.5mm cable?

[@MyCentsTX]

It does. I connected it to my monitor but most people would just go directly to their desktop. You can also use Bluetooth

[@KamalSingh]

Hi, can you connect to computer using USB port?

[@MyCentsTX]

Trying it tonight

[@miguelorbis8294]

I would like to know if the speakers are magnetically shielded. Thanks you.

[@MyCentsTX]

Why, do you still have a tube tv?

[@MyCentsTX]

You can buy magnetic shielding material online

[@neelamw9092]

Regular THX promedias are magnetically shielded.

[@eraldmulla8154]

Doesn't look like it has hdmi support. Can you connect these to smart TV via cable and not bluetooth? TV do not have aux cables nowdays...

[@davidlee5693]

There are hdmi to rca converters also optical to rca converters. Either one will work with these speakers

[@eraldmulla8154]

@@davidlee5693 thanks for the reply David. I like the looks of these speakers, and the price is affordable. I should consider these for my TV then!

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

[@macinfloydvolk]

I didn’t catch it, where do you get these?

[@MyCentsTX]

Costco. They're expensive to them

[@macinfloydvolk]

@@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]

@@macinfloydvolk I love e the look of the sixes. I actually like them better than the fives. That's my next buy

[@macinfloydvolk]

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

[@TheTheis1995]

does the klipsch also turn off automaticly after a while when the volume is too low? eyerybody write this issue

[@MyCentsTX]

It does have an automatic shut off if the speaker isn't being used for a while. It comes back on after 20 seconds or so. It doesn't bother me that much, but it would if I were making music

[@widzjutuba2939]

@@MyCentsTX What does it means "comes back after 20 seconds"? Power is back after 20 second the audio signal appears or what? If so - this set is completely useless...

[@kikowillers]

Has anybody tried using the subwoofer as a stand-alone to complement another setup?

[@MyCentsTX]

you can get the Klipsch R-12SWi sub for less and I'm sure its going to sound better

[@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.
