Klipsch Ultra 5.1 suround sound computer speakers

The Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 surround speaker system is a good choice for gamers not home theatre enthusiasts. The lack of a remote will kill it for some but the sub woofer sounds fantastic and game explosions sound fantastic with deep thudding bass.

A surround gaming powerhouse

With lots of games making effective use of EAX surround sound 5.1 computer speakers are becoming much more appealing.

Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 a little pricey but brings games to life

If you have a fast Radeon or Geforce video card already there isn't much more you can do to improve game play quality on the graphics front. However you'll be surprised at what a difference surround gaming makes. In our opinion surround sound is much more effective in games than it is in movies.

Provided you have a surround capable audio device such as Creative labs series you'll be able to get great effects from this system. It packs a powerful 500 watt amplifier that send 60 watts to the 5 satellite speakers and 170 watts to the sub.

The bass response is incredible and the mid range is also good since the satellite's are a 2 way design.

Here are the specifications:

• Wired command module - NO REMOTE
• 5 satellites (2 way), 1 sub (dual 8-inch drivers)
• Total output power 500 Watt
• surround analog inputs, no digital inputs
• No Dolby decoding

With no remote control or Dolby decoding DSPs this computer speaker system really is designed for gamers. Gamers love bass and this system has plenty of that. The bass is just stunning and you with love it even if your neighbours don't.

Apart from the high price there really is no reason not to recommend this product to gamers. If you do everything on your PC and have no need for a stand alone home theatre system then this is a great choice.
