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

Never again.
I also noticed the new set's power LED will slowly flicker off when unpluged, whereas the old would gradually fade off. Not sure what that means, if anything. I do like that the new ones come with a right-angle plug though.
I just now did it to see & watched mine \\not flicker-but fadeout dim..
To give a different perspective, around Black Friday 2020, Costco had a similarly priced deal for this klipsch system but I don't recall exactly what I paid.
The satellites sounded really good: they got loud and the audio was very clear. The sub on the other hand, it's performance was disappointing. To me it felt like it never produced notes deep enough for my satisfaction, it felt more of a mid sub to me. Each time I listened, it left me wanting more from this sub. The sub cabinet also buzzed quite a bit. I did exchange it out but the 2nd system also buzzed similarly as the 1st.
What I ended up doing was getting a $60 monoprice 8" sub, combined it with an inexpensive set of desktop powered speakers. The total cost went to $120. The audio quality and monoprice sub's response was dramatically better than this klipsch system. So, for me, the additional cost was well justified.

On my desk any longer and a bunch of extra wiring to make those bookshelf speakers work. Plus saves a lot of desk space.
And I would love a desktop puck control with headphone jack. Are there anything people recommend for that with these?

When I turn off my computer it also shutdowns my speakers and monitors.
