I use these with my bedroom TV to supplement my 5.1 Vizio soundbar with wireless sub and rears. I combined them with a remote control line leveler to give volume remote control function:

https://www.newark.com/mcm-custom...st=50-8394

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 Smilie

Hope this gives some folks ideas Smilie HF and GL!!
You have very good ideas there thank you for sharing 😊

For Costco Online purchases you can now request price adjustments online within 30 days. They typically give credit within a week. If it's over 30 days, you can call them, and they typically will ask you to return and rebuy

Which is better for music and movies, the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX® Certified Computer Speaker or your Vizio 5.1 Soundbar?

keep doubting when I see a deal pop up on these. Lots of reviews on Costco saying these didn't last long/failed pretty quickly. Anyone have any counter to that?
I bought one in 2012, still going strong. It's survived cats, dogs, four local moves and one cross-country move. I did trash the fabric grilles because they suck up cat hair.

For music, hands down Klipsch! I have used this set both from the TV and via bluetooth and they simply rock for music. Solid room filing sound and bass. Note that I may be a little biased as I have a heritage of Promedia in my blood having had legacy 2.1, 4.1 and 5.1's back in the early 2000's. I have also only ever used Klipsch Quintets in my theater (currently Atmos 7.2.4 with 11 x Reference Theater/Quintet's and 2 x SW-311 active & dual passive subs).

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!

And I would love a desktop puck control with headphone jack. Are there anything people recommend for that with these?
These already have that covered - the volume control part on the bottom of one of the satellites has input & output jacks on its side, and it slides right off (push it toward the back), so you could just use that if you want it to be separated from the speakers themselves. I wouldn't sweat the lack of a power button, this sort of thing doesn't use all that much power when it's not playing anything.

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:

Quote from ThriftyJuice233 :
How can I connect this to my TCL?
The only direct input on these is a 1/8" headphone-style connector. You could use that with an RCA to 1/8 adapter to hook it to most A/V equipment, or plug it into a Bluetooth adapter, or something like the Echo Dot I mentioned above (which supports Bluetooth input).

picked these up about a month ago at costco for the same price. replaced my logitech z623 and while the sub doesnt have as much bass as the logitech, sound quality in general is a clear upgrade.

These are always really tempting but numerous complaints about them not turning off and the light being extremely bright and sometimes defective units where the sub makes a buzzing sound. Hooking them up to a smart plug would work but seems so unnecessary.

If youre on the fence about these... don't be. Best computer speakers at this price point period. I have them in my weight room and the sound production, bass clarity and loudness is ridiculous. I never even turn them halfway up they are so good. No distortion.

No, you can only request for price adjustment within 30 days.
Yes that's true. But there's no rule that prohibits smooth28la from returning the ones he bought and buy it again in the warehouse. I've done it before.

Quote from Eragorn :
I really wish Costco's site showed in-warehouse purchases. I bought this a month/month and half ago and don't know if I paid $80, $90 or $100 for it and there isn't a way to call and ask either.
More than likely you paid $90 + sales tax. There were several posts on the forum between black friday and Jan (of 2021). I don't remember Costco selling it for anything less than that up until now.

I have owned 2 pairs of of these and one burned out. The other one I keep plugged into it's own power strip and I only turn it on when I'm actually listening to something. If left on all of the time it will likely burn out. As for the sound it is just average quality. The bass sounds muddy not crisp. The knobs on the main speaker are cheap and get stat-icky with poor control.

Guys if you decide to buy it from Amazon, check out this offer - you could end up paying significantly less. I managed to qualify for 40% off so in my case, the speakers only cost $40 + tax.

NOTE: You need an AMEX card that earns member reward points. (co-branded cards that earn flyer mileage points do not qualify). Again, read the details in the forum thread that I linked to.

Purchase price must be $100+, right? These are $80.
