I then plugged both the Promedia speakers and line level controller each into an Amazon Alexa smart plug and created a group for both called "Klipsch". I can now power both on/off simultaneously via voice, tablet, computer, etc and then use the remote from the line leveler to control the volume on the speakers. Just be careful and set your volume on the speakers and line leveler evenly so not to overwhelm. I turned the line leveler down and set the speakers to roughly 40% of max. Works like a charm.
To sweeten the pot, I purchased a used Klipsch Promedia 2.1 bluetooth volume control pod off Ebay. Only difference from that pod and the one on this set is the addition of bluetooth. For those that do not know, Klipsch released a set of the 2.1 Promedia's awhile back that included bluetooth capability but did not have the THX certification. Bluetooth functionality sat in the control pod but for some reason those speakers lacked the THX cert. If you do go that route, just make sure you search for a pod with the VGA style connector for these certified speakers and not the din connector from the older style (I think they made both syles with bluetooth).
I now have a THX certified set with power on/off functionality, bluetooth and remote control. That being said, I could have prob gotten another speaker set with most functions inclusive for about the same price I spent here, but prob not the same quality and no the fun in that
Hope this gives some folks ideas

They are good for movies too. I just wanted some surround capabilities in the bedroom. Note the Vizio bar I use is the V51-H6. While a great soundbar/wireless sub & rear combo the front L/R stage of the bar is somewhat narrow. I use the Klipsch to supplement the front L/R from from the bar. It can be challenging at times balancing sound as the bar is CEC/ARC capable controlled with the Harmony/Roku remote whereas the Klipsch are via the line leveler remote (any remote controlling the TV volume will not control 3.5mm or bluetooth audio out and instead relies on those independent sources to control volume). Hence the need for separate remotes. Although, I may create a routine with my Harmony to control both the Vizio bar and line leveler at the same time to eliminate the challenging situation above.
Either way, IMO, you cannot go wrong for the price with these speakers. Hope that helps!
Alternately, I have mine connected to an Echo Dot. If you don't already have an Echo device, you can get the 3rd gen Dot for $8.98 right now:
