Hello,
I'm getting ready to buy a new speaker system and I'm looking into the Promedia 5.1's. I went to Best buy and listened to them and they sounded great. But I touched the sub's back pannel and it was burning hot. I've heard people have had problems with this. Anyone know anything about this overheating problem? Or have a set of these speakers?

Someone i know got this overheating problem with the 4.1.The store send it to repair and now it works fine.But you ll noticed right away if something is wrong.Buy the demo

I'm not sure if you have heard them, but the new Logitech Z-560 is great. You should check it out, as it is way cheaper than the Klipsch but most say it sounds better.

Ja, the new Logitech Z-560's received some good reviews so far ... bottom line seems to be best speakers in that pricerange ($200) and they're comparable to the Klipsch 4.1 which cost $100 more

I love my Klipsch Promedia v.2-400 but I would buy the Z-560's if I needed a new 4.1 setup today.

I have 2 sets of the Promedias, never had a problem (and they do sound awesome). The heatsink on the Z-560 I have is *hot*. I just bought the Z-560's last week for $170. These are great speakers, especially for the price. The Promedias still sound better in my opinion though. The sub on the Z-560 absolutly rocks!

I too have the Promedia 4.1 and they do rock, just wish they were a little better in the midrange department.

Head on over to <a href="http://216.37.9.58/cgi-bin/ubb/Ultimate ... e">here</a>, scroll down to the 4.1 or 5.1 section and read user comments and problems. I haven't had any problems with mine except the cheapo mine plug that plugs into the speakers. Replaced them with some gold plated ones I got at Rat shack.

The Z-560's are nice but I don't think they have the punch that the Promedias have.
