Starting a review with “although made in 2009” may be appropriate in this case, there are unfortunately few consumer 2.1 THX certified options still available on the market left to review. The Klipsch Promedia 2.1 is a formidable option, well suited for a small home cinema on a budget or a solid speaker system for your desktop or gaming needs. The bass is loud and profound. You can easily upset the neighbors, or control the bohemth bass by a turn of the controls on the left speaker. Purispts might hate the fact there is no remote but I don’t find it to be an issue when paired with an NVIDIA Shield which has speaker control built into the remote. Don’t hesitate now as who knows how long these systems will be available as these speakers are definitely “legacy”. At this point. If you don’t need glitz and glamour options or more than 2.1 – there really isn’t any other option. The only competitor is possibly the Razer Leviathan. Read more details on the Razer system and my impressions here. BestBuy will price match this item, which is currently listed at $149.99 – but you should be able to price match if you watch the deals.
