I guess the reason you don't hear about them that much anymore, is because there really hasnt' been anything to come along (as far as PC speaker technology) that has ever bested Klipsch or really even come that close.
It was like one day the answer was right there in front of all of us and we just sorta said "ooooh...ok".
Nuff said
No really, they are absolutely unreal. But do not, I repeat, do not pair them with anything less than an soundblaster live 5.1, or you won't even touch these speakers capabilites. And that's even stretching it with the Live. I would recommend an audigy for sure. Audigy 1, if you need the extra bucks, and Audigy 2 if you have the extra cash to spend.
I've owned the 2.1 (passed down the chain of family command), 4.1 (on another pc), and now the 5.1. I'm sick enough that I'm waiting on backorder for the 5.1 Dream system of theirs.
I'm a sick audiophile of a freak. I realize this, but that's half the battle..........Knowing the problem exists. 8Þ
