 Great until dead. December 19, 2008
For the price, it's an unbelievable sound system. However, as dozens on this board have noted, it will inevitably die, no matter how much care you take. Sometimes it's an issue with a blown fuse and sometimes it's a blown internal circuit breaker. You can hook it up to a surge protector or a UPS, but it'll still blow.

I bought these to replace my very old, well worn v2-400s which were being retired, despite a fair number of bad reviews at the time and they failed within a week. Sent to Klipsch for repair and they failed again 6 months later. The whole experience from failure to support was very dissapointing, especially from my ex-favourite computer audio company. I will be reluctantly moving to Logitech for my computer speakers.
dead amp July 9, 2008
I would like to give these speakers 5 stars because they sound great, but I'm giving them 3 because the sub amp died a year ago. I never got the sub fixed because I read on Klipch's forums, that many had the same problem I did and once they got it fixed, the same thing ended up happening again. I am going to get a new desktop soon and am now reading reviews for speakers to replace these. I also found out that they are discontinued. They should have fixed the amp problem and still be selling these. They were great sounding speakers.

i also bought this from dell back in 04, it worked for 2 years before the amp died, all the satellites worked but the sub did not.
well 3 replacement amps later ( $90 x 3 = $270 ) i give up and have trashed these speakers. i'll look for something else.
1st replacement lasted about 7 mos
2nd lasted 2 mos
3rd lasted about 24hrs, YES 24 HOURS.
Sounds Good When it Last - Piece of Junk May 13, 2008

It sounds great when it works, my first amp died within the warranty period so Klipsch send me another amp after I send them mine but it too almost 2 months of turn around time and mailing charge. After another 9 months of use, just yesterday the bass started to go again, I am not sending it back for repair this time and it is going to the trash. Klipsch should never release a product like that, every forum I goes to the user has the same faith. If your speaker is working right now, good luck and enjoy it, it will go the same way with all the others in the near future. I am going to get the Logitech Z5500 instead.
