Klipsch ProMedia 2.1
$150.00
Released August, 2009
The Pros:Above average sound for the speaker size - distinctive high and mid tones. Bass is clear and distinctive without sounding muddy. Spring-loaded terminals connect to bare cable wiring in one central location on the subwoofer.
The Cons:Reliability issues if used at high volume levels. Produces distortion at higher volumes. Underpowered bass response compared to competing systems.
The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 are a pair of computer speakers that combine top-quality sound with visual appeal to deliver an “incredible splash of sophistication to laptops and PCs.” The second of two computer speaker sets, the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 is an upgrade from the Klipsch Groove PM20 in that it adds along a one side-firing 6.5” long-throw fiber composite cone subwoofer.
