Hi,
I am from Kolkata , India. Recently after my old average Creative 2.1 channel speakers , which I bought for Rs 1500/- in 2004, died after giving good service for 10 years . I have now decided to buy a new one. Actually my old 2.1 channel is still working , but the speakers ahave cracked at certain areas and it looks bad , plus I want to see if there is any development isn the world of computer accostics after a gap of 10 years. This time I have a budget for Rs 10000/- and I have actually narrowed down of Klipsch Promedia 2.1 and Harman Kardon Soundsticks III . I dont see any other choices available to me right now but if anyone can give an idea about the 2 mentioned above or any other better than these 2 in the same range ( maybe +- Rs 2000/- is ok) . I am not a basehead but I consider myself an average audiophile.I already have a Klipsch Image S4i ans my IEM and sennheiser HD598 as my full headphone.While both of these are very comforatable , the Klipsch Imahe S4i is basshead but the HD598 is clearer and richer.I mostly listen to slow soft music like hindi ghazals ,english instrumental or downtempo / lounge music.Thanks for all inputs I can get.

I think you should definitely look at Swans M10. It is a very superior quality 2.1 speaker system.

Logitech Z623 is a piece of crap when it comes to sound quality :) Logitech Z623 is superior if someone is looking for pounding bass and loud sound.

If you're ok with 2 channel, Audioengine A2 would be a good option.

For your kinda music get the Swans. Klipsch is bright and Logitech is too forward sounding. The other option is to geo get a DNM AV499 amplifier and DNM SCS 808 or Norge Nano speaker combination. It would be awesome and well within Rs12k

Here's the head-fi review: *www.head-fi.org/products/klipsch-promedia-2-1-thx-certified-computer-speaker-system

Hope there's a dedicated sound card or an external DAC.

Dunno about the ProMedia GMX A-2.1 but the other one is pretty damn good.
Another option is the Swan M10 which is similarly priced. However, the sound signature of the ProMedia 2.1 and the M10 are different. The ProMedia 2.1 has a much denser low-end (bass) while the M10 has a better mid-range.

I think ProMedia 2.1...suitable for Games and Movies..!!

XS2.1 would require an amplifier to drive the satellites!

Can the Klipsch promedia 2.1 be used directly with a laptop without an amplifier??? Will there be any degradation in sound quality??? Is it good for movies???
