The reproduction was hollow, sounded like it was being played in a big metal drum. Seriously, some of the worst speakers I have ever heard. And massively overpriced for what they are.
The BOSE Companion 3 and 5 were COMICALLY poor (and amazingly well stocked). Everything else was complete dross and I wouldn't let it in the house if you paid me. Sadly those options need a separate sub right now (I imagine they'll both get packaged with one shortly), which is a bit annoying.

To be fair, the Logitech Z-10's and the Creative T40's weren't bad at all, and if packaged with a semi-decent (none of this 5" driver as a sub-bass driver crap) sub-woofer would have been suitable replacements. I wasn't even bothered about having 5.1 again on the PC, since I've long since stopped gaming there, and I'm not going to watch movies on a 30" screen. Odd, since I'm in Redmond, WA which is quite a geek hotbed

Very little selection in the retail market (I am not buying speakers without listening to them, even for PC applications and the ship/test/return of mail order is just too slow and painful for something like this).Ī smattering of mid-level Logitech offerings, the new Creative stuff, some basic Altec Lansing pieces, some stuff I'd never heard of, and lots and lots of BOSE was all that was to be found in a 20 mile radius. That process was, itself, quite depressing. I think I will be giving "Elliot-tronics" a try on the amp/control unit repair, once I determine which piece is buggered, but before finding this thread I had gone looking for replacements. But I'm tired of dealing with their issues. Klipsch support, both on and off warranty, has been excellent for sure, but there is obviously an issue with the design or implementation here.ĭon't get me wrong, for what they are the Promedia 5.1s are very nice. So far, I've replaced the amp three times, and the control unit once. My Klipsch Promedia 5.1s have just started acting up for the 5th time in just under four years. For me, it wasnt worth the time and money since Im an intern in a electrical failure abnalysis lab. According to those that used his services he does good work and has good service. I heard about the Elliott guy on the Klipsch forums.
hopefull by then I'll have a degree and a good job to buy me something larger. Hopefully the lower temps will give me many years before I have to fix them again. Way I figure any acoustic side effects are minor compared to a dead amp. I am planning on punching a hole in the front of the sub enclosure so the fan can force in cool air. I just ordered a 120mm 240VAC fan that will run undervolted via the output of the relay on the AC input board. Most of the problems are going to be in the two power boards or the pre amp due to their high heat levels and the fact that they will bear the worst of any surge other than perhaps something crazy happening to an audio input.Īs a preventative measure I went ahead and replaced a chipped ceramic cap aas well as moved a power resistor away from the power supply board to somewhere cooler with a couple of short wires. I replaced two FETs (soldered all of six pins and replaced a little thermal goop) on the satellite side of the pre-amp.
