The amp/computer board was $375, then $500 from Klipsch, but now that they are no longer in stock, the price is $700-900 from any dealer that still has them.
If the price falls any lower, people will be buying them just to harvest the boards.

Side note though, the app kind of sucks. And for whatever reason my speakers will be on occasionally when I go into the basement, despite turning them off days prior.

Elacs aren't junk and your ignorance is showing here

Elac makes some great speakers and some garbage speakers. Few audio brands are consistent in performance between models, and this goes 10x over for speakers. Who can be relied upon 100%? Probably nobody. At best, Revel and Neumann for speakers, but neither make subs that are worth the money.
Got it, carry on... 🙄

The Klipsch Nines look pretty cool if all you care about is 2 channel audio... from your phone I guess? otherwise how is it "wireless" other than left to right speakers without wires? Use this with your TV by hdmi/earc or other input and there will be "wires". Nevermind power cords, but I guess "cords" are not "wires"?
All that being said, I like Klipsch and I love my Promedia PC speakers to death.

Especially with your point about the sales volume of Klipsch. I don't think people realize how many sets they sell. It is a crazy high number. So much more than most speaker companies such as tiny little Ascend or even a larger hifi co like ELAC. They also sell to a lot of people who are not exactly hifi hobbyists, that can be tough.
Also what is interesting is for $650 many on SD seemingly think this is not a great deal when at full retail at launch for $1500 most folks in the hifi camps from fully subjective to hardcore EAC & ASR folks perceived this as a very nicely priced set in it's particular category for full price.
There are no active/powered 2.0s close to the price of these @$650 available with real wood veneer and consumer friendly features. Someone could grab a set of Kali 8" Lp-8 Studio monitors but those are not better in independently measured frequency response, do not play as loudly at the extreme, do not fit in most living spaces as well visually and are harder to connect to consumer equipment and phones.

"Klipsch sells a ton of speakers, so anecdotal reports on the internet are misleading"
I just can't with the irony lol

No, passive speakers don't break like ones with a built in amp because they don't have a…? You guessed it, a built in amp. A component that's compromised to fit into the speaker at this price point. So yes you can rely on passive speakers for decades, that's why you have perfectly working speakers from the 80s from any brand. Even new Klipsch budget R passive speakers work fine for years.

With the replacement AMP, I made sure I changed the connect type to OPT before shutting my PC and the auto off function works as is and it's working fine for over a year.
