they don't make the promedias anymore I don't think, otherwise i'd heavily consider just buying another set of 4.1's

Get another set of the promedias. You won't find a better set of 2.1 speakers, especially not at the price, and with that booming base.

Klipsch still offers the Promedia 2.1(not the 4.1s however) at their online store, but it seems best buy no longer carries them.

hmm, the sub will be such a downgrade tho i dunno if i can handle it haha
i'll have to check out some more models in person i guess. problem is that half the time the speakers aren't set up in the store, or they won't let u play all that loudly ><

I recently bought Creative T20 Series II, they sound really good and the price was not too bad either. Doesn't have subwoofer included, but I think spending money on a pair of good 2.0 speakers is better than spending it on a 2.1 set with low quality subwoofer (and satellites).

Having said that, the M-Audio Studiophile speakers someone posted earlier are really good (a friensatellitesd of mine has these), but they are in a completely dfifferent price-range.

again, the issue with no sub is a) what i'm used to, and b) the fact that I need more bass ><

Well, you can always buy a sub separately. This is probably the best way to go about it anyway if you are concerned with quality, that is.

The problem with many 2.1 sets that are being sold is that they are just low quality.

Besides, many of the higher quality satellites (like the M-Audio pair) provide plenty of bass as is..

The M-audio's I don't think provide as much bass as KOF is wanting. Although the m-audio's are very nice sounding (friend has a pair of them) I believe it has very nice highs and very very nice mids but lack in the lows. But like meathook said you can just buy a sub separately and then really have a banging system.

And yea most 2.1 sets are a bit low quality but you usually get what you pay for. I suggest buying some M-audio and a separate sub and hook that shit up and if its not what your looking for in sound (which i doubt) then you can easily return it. Keep receipts of course and don't bang up the products. Then you can easily just order the Klipsch online like you originally had.

I have the z-2300. I can't say I've heard too many other higher-end (read: not crappy) set of speakers but I love the z-2300

I should note that the bass is overwhelming for me because this is the first time I owned a speaker set with bass so prior to this, I've never listened to so much bass for a prolonged period of time. And I can't tell you the number of times I woke up my parents at 2 in the morning because I was playing Mass Effect and I forgot to turn down the bass all the way (Mako shots are like BOOOOM)

These should be loud enough for most people too. I couldn't turn them up past half way because I was afraid my neighbours would come knocking at my door lol
