Suggestions on good computer speakers!

[CHARLIEBORG]

I have been using Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 for almost ten years! I love them, but the amp in the sub died. Is there any other speakers out there that compare to these or are better?

I don't know that brand or model. I just hook up my hi-fi's auxiliary input to the computer's audio-out.

What's your budget?

I bought some Logitech speakers that I'd hardly call cheap for a customer, but IMO they weren't that good - there was a cheap set of speakers that I used to recommend to customers but those have been discontinued. IMO they put most of the 'famous / decent' brands to shame.

Well I paid like 200,00 for the Klipsch ProMedia back in 2002. I'm thinking around $300.00 for something nice now. They still have the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 out. If I could get another amp for the one's I got, I would do that.

Do the Promedia's just use standard speaker wire? I think that they do. In that case, you could easily resuse the satellites with any amp that you want. You'd still need to get a new sub, but a discrete component is going to kick ass compared to what is in the box.

Polk PSW110 $120
Denon AVR-1612 $200
Total: $320

This plus the Klipsch satellites gets you started on a decent component system. You can upgrade the satellites down the road to something with bigger and better drivers.

Behringer MS20s or MS40s. (Powered studio monitors.) Shouldn't more than $100 for the MS20s, a bit more for the 40s.

I have a pair of 40s. They're beautiful, sound great, fill the house.

The ProMedia speakers were pretty unique for their time. The closest thing is Logitech but they are a little overpowered on bass.

You'd do best to have some separate components from a receiver.
