Klipsch Promedia DD 5.1 for $100

[WhipIt]

You can get the Promedia DD 5.1 directly from Klipsch for $100 (plus S&H) without having to buy the Promedia 5.1 speaker set.

I assume youre talking about this.... how exactly do you do it?

 

[fr]

The title is misleading because I thought you meant this.

 

[LiLRiceBoi]

I thought it was the speaker set too. Change title to reflect its a preamp please.

BTW, the site says 169 for me... something like that i forgot the exact value but it was more than 150...

[777php]

so...its just for the preamp?

Audio newb here....what exactly is the benefit of a preamp?

 

[phatcow]

wheres the 100 dollar price?

 

[Goosemaster]

It used to be $100

The present model is newer and therefore well..you know..

 

[Bellgoody]

Whipit - please elaborate. How do you buy it for $100?

 

[q2261]

WTF...change the title for a moment there i thought it was the speaker set
hehe too bad

 

[Mercenary]

i thought speakers too...

 

[degeester]

Again, how do you get the decoder for $100?

 

[Tambora]

degeester, go to the Promedia link at the top of the page. This brings up the Promedia speaker listing and one of the choices is the 5.1 speakers with the pre-amp for $499.

 

[WhipIt]

First of all the title is not misleading because the speaker set is called Promedia 5.1 while the Digital Decoder is called Promedia DD 5.1. If you don't know the difference you don't need this anyways.

Here is how you do it.

1. Go to www.klipsch.com
2. Click on SHOP at the top
3. Half way down on the new page click on PROMEDIA
4. On the new page at the bottom left click on 5.1 DIGITAL DREAM MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM (do not click on ADD TO CART)
5. On the new page click on ADD TO CART
6. In the "Coupon Number" space type in the coupon number from the previous page and click on RECALCULATE
7. Now click on the box next to "Promedia 5.1" so there is a check there and click REMOVE
8. Now the Promedia DD 5.1 is $100, click CHECKOUT and get the hell out of Dodge

Pssst...better get rid of the coupon number before the evil mod clan attacks...

 

[degeester]

Thanks, this will be perfect addition to my Klipsch Promedia 5.1's. Just hope it gets shipped soon.

 

[WhipIt]

Now that the secret is out, it is only a matter of time before Klipsch figures this out and changes things, so you better get your DD 5.1 NOW. I don't think previous Klipsch 5.1 owners should get shafted for being early purchasers of their product so we should get the DD 5.1 at a discounted rate anyways. Just MHO. :disgust:

 

[Rmilton]

Can this thing be used with speakers other than promedias? I have the Logitech Z-560's...

 

[stam01]

i got in, though their website says orders will be charged immediately and shipped out later on the 16th due to inventory from 7/2 to 7/15? oh well, for a $70 discount off the regular price, i suppose i can wait for 2 weeks. wonder if they'll really honor this order or start cancelling them because we didn't purchase it as a bundle with the 5.1s.

 

[NeoMadHatter]

must fight urge to buy. must fight urge to buy. i would really like to get this thing. especially at this price.

 

[NucEm]

Thanks for the post!

 

[WhipIt]

RMilton, the Dd 5.1 has 6 RCA outputs to the speakers. L/R front, L/R rear, subwoofer, center channel. How do you connect your soundcard to your speakers?

 

[halik]

isnt this jsut a surround processor? Ie you get a 5.1 audio outta normal 2 ch stereo?

You can get those on ebay for under 30 bucks...

 

[WhipIt]

This decodes Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic. I doubt you can get anything similar for under 30 dollars. Midiland makes a similar product for about $120, but lower quality materials.

 

[phatcow]

what other similar products are there? i need something like this to connect my PS2 to get DD surround
