This is a hot deal... for those of you guys that are complaining about the shipping, keep in mind that these weigh 37lbs. ! I sh!t you not, I own these speakers and man do they rock. I've listened to logitech's 560's, altec's 641, but they pale in comparison to the klipsch. If you don't think this is a good deal then for these specakers then you are either too poor to afford them, ignorant to the facts, or not a true audophile.

Any Klipsch owner I'm sure would back me up.

I actually talked with Customer Service and they seemed to be on top of things. They originally called me to verify my shipping address because it was different from the billing address and the order was over $100. They were easy to talk to and informed me that my speakers would be sent out the next day, and sure enough they did. Now I wish I took expediated shipping so that I can get them up and running faster.

EdwardChang mentioned that he is familiar with this place in the Bay Area, maybe he could provide some more insight into the company.

It looks like shipping varies greatly to where it is being shipped. For the record, my shipping was $16.35 to Washington state.

I'm guessing that Staples doesn't sell these. That would be pretty cool to be able to get a PM and coupon and still be able to get them the same day.

Have to agree with the money on this one the klipsch beat the logited as far a tight sound goes i used to have the 540z's whitch I tink were louder but a loud more distorted and I am not an audiophile but like nice sound. I picked mine up at circuit city in early December for $200(212 w.tax) - $50 mail in rebate and 42.60 in MSN dollars that are supposed to show up in February.I actually got the rebate check yesterday.

540Zs never even came close to the 4.1s. The 560s were supposed to be similiar, but at the time over 150$ cheaper, which is why there were compared to the Klipsch 4.1s. But now, seeing as there is only like a 40$ difference, b/w the 560zs, I'd go with the Klipsch.

I was deciding between Altec Lansing 641 and z560's. I went with the 641's. They are less powerful, but they have better quality.
The Klipsch is the combination of the two...great quality and power. Unfortunately, I didn't even bother looking for Klipsch speakers b/c I was under the impression they were going around $250+.... this deal is great, I made my friend hop on it.

haha you are joking right...


I don't think you remember, but the Midiland S2/4100's were the Klipsch of yesteryear - in fact, these speakers still compete with the Klipsch.

I just picked them up at the store. I wouldn't be concerned if I needed to order from them.


Also, they ANSWER THEIR PHONE :eek:

EDIT: Also, if you're in the Bay Area, they still have some in stock for pickup

Yes, I have to agree I ending up giving the logitech away to my son, he just wants it loud! ehehe The klipsch are far superior for actually listening to any music. I have found myself watching dvd's here in the home office on the computer since I got the klipsch.
