wow..
u bought one?!?!!
so hows the sound like? clear like crystal? or heavy basss???
erm... really wanna hear one..
then compare wit an aego..

It will be good if you change to quality cable...
But my instinct say that it's no need to change anything better cause won't get significant better performance ratio.
Unless for audiophile and big home speaker system then different story.
But hey, I wanna be Klipsch fan club cos I love Klipsch

klipsch is more to bass rite?
can i produce sound quality like aego m?
hahha

my bass is terrible ,when I on subwoofer to full ,I can c my stuff and my door and ceiling is shaking man .

and I havent burn yet , need to slowly burn then give review ,man.

but my room is small so guess no chance to on full ,or else neighbour or housemate will complain

YES!

But Aego M has better soundstaging and integration with sub. You should set the GMX's sub-level to about the 9-10 o'clock position (or lower) so that the bass is not overpowering. For the GMX, angle and positioning are also important; less so the Aegos. Make sure you don't tuck your GMX sub into a corner or it gets boomy. The Klipsch has a livelier sound signature and is better for Dance/House music, Rock and most Jazz pieces but its a bit pickier with its songs. Overall, the Aegos are better though, but cost more; the GMX close, but is cheaper. They really do need time to sweeten up though, being a little bright out of the box. I love both! Hahahaha!

coherance...I've read alot about klipsch has very poor coherance among the different drivers. it is all about teh BASS

Let's not talk about the GMX, with it's internal DAC and aim towards console boys, we all expect muddy bass ala Logitech.

Suggest Listening to the Promedia and Synergy line to get a better idea of how the Klipsch's KSW sub really pounds out hard yet accurate bass. Haven't heard their reference and aragon line though.

Anyways i do own a set of Klipsch Promedia 2.0 Ultras, absolutely lovely for music at it's price, excellent except the sucky bass, keep that down to a minimum and you'll thank me for the good sounds, and so will your CD collection.

Contemplating a Synergy set for movies, but no moolah.

empire23, u always get mooleh every other week wat

BTW, how much is the Promedia ULTRA 2.0?

Was referring to the GMX 2.1, which doesn't have an internal DAC; only the 5.1 does. Too bad the Promedia Ultras are not readily available here, but then again, the price would be prohibitive for most....

Bought for around 400, most likely still the same price.

If anyone is interested, i'm letting go of mine for 300, saving up since i'm going overseas next month and plan to overspend on fattening foods and a giant LCD monitors that i obviously don't need.

So what U guys think about AL 5021 with GMX 2.1...
I feel curious about it...

I think AL5021 is a great stuff ,and u can get it ard RM560 ,but prob is for me I prefer Klipsch sound ,althought I prefer AL design and also the "THX" stuff ,but in the end after I test in Sri Comp and my friend's AL 5021 ,I will prefer GMX 2.1

well, i admire klipsch speaker long time ago untill my ex-housemate bought one and ... speechless.

klipsch is more to disco kaki, the satelite speaker sounds too bright and sub woofer is too boomy to me, got a feeling of logitech stuff.

compared to my sis bf's AL MX5021, i'll love 5021 more than klipsch. AL 5021 stock cable is crappy, after changed the cable, it sounds much more better than klipsch (never tried changing cable on klipsch though). bass of AL5021 is not as powerful and boomy as klipsch, but it sounds more natural and accurate.


juz my personal opinion, don't flame me

This post has been edited by fx_53_xt: Apr 23 2006, 10:35 PM

off topic here
fx_53_xt, what crappy cable they give you for the mx5021?
and what cable you changed it?
how much?
where can i find it?

hehe ,I only change 1 cable for klipsch ,from the source to the control panel(speaker) ,got 3 more cable (control to subwoofer ,satelite to subwoofer x 2) wanted to change ,but dnt knw will cost how much.

anyway the cable I change ady is Canare cable with canare minijack which cost me RM40+ for half meter and 2 minijack .

wht cable and minijack u change ? mind to share ,how much it cost?

This post has been edited by lgs: Apr 23 2006, 11:57 PM

these cables really improve the sound of speaker a lot?
i'm still using the stock cable(green color plug and black color cable body one, does the mx5021 come with the same cable like this:sweat:)

i'm using AL621

Share some info on Klipsch THX 2.1 speaker.


yeh~ ,Cable do make a diffrence ^^

how big is the difference?
the pay really worth it?

the 40 bucks isn't that much lol

sukhoi37

wht u pay is wht u get,for a good speaker ,the diff will be more obvious if u use a very good speaker.


LittleLinnet

no idea wif tht cable matter ,anyway which type of cable is a good upgrade ,I am new in speaker and cable

i also got GMX , you are right , you have to mod the cable.
dont worry i will post the cable picture later. which i mod at midi specialist.

the speaker isn't belongs to me.
it's my sis's bf so i'm not sure what is the exact model.
anyway, he changed the 3.5mm to RCA signal cable from stock to a pretty big one, and changed the satelite speaker cable to dunno what brand OFC cable.
and then connected the satelite speaker from his onkyo sound card through an t-amp (http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/t-amp_e.html) , without going through sub woofer cuz according to him it's better not to use the integrated amp of subwoofer

p/s : both cables is from taiwan and onkyo sound card bought from japan.

This post has been edited by fx_53_xt: Apr 24 2006, 08:27 AM

wow, i think i'd rather save up a little bit more for aego2
i'm really lazy to do all those mods

without going through sub woofer? then you have to adjust the satelite volume and the woofer volume saperately?
hell no, i won't do that =P
the woofer amp and crossover section is anyway THX certified. within that RM 700 price range, i think that is the best you can get, powering it with an Tamp not neccesery will bring much benefits than powering it using intergrated amp.
as he is so percise until unhappy with the built in THX amp of altec lansing MX5021, buying the MX 5021 itself is just a big mistake.

I love my Klipsch Promedia 2.0 Ultras. They are an absolute bargain for my hard-earned RM380.

Of couse the bass is nothing to shout about. I told myself not to expect too much, this is a 2.0 after all.

yup, separately
anyway, after test it around, there is really difference using the external amp than the integrated one. external amp sound cleaner than the built in one.

anyway, heard from someone THX certification company is no longer owned by LucasArt, therefore the certification no longer stay neutral. anyone can clarify this?

Does anyone here owns or still own an old school Promedia 2.1, the one with THX certified bla bla?

Btw, i'm still havin it..wat u guys think of it? lol

i think Macdanife has this speaker
it's a nice speaker, especially compare to GMX

Strik3

Its a good one ,continue to keep it up ~

My sister is using it, but the subwoofer got some problem, distortion sometimes . It's a good speaker anyway, too bad u cannot a new set anymore

I've got it too. I had it shipped over from US 3 years ago.
Love the speakers, but dun feel much about the woofer compared to Altec's.
Is it necessary to change the cables to boost quality?

i'm a gmx user and been using it near to 2 years and i dont find its for techno heads. i think most probably it depends on the sound card. b4 that i played with my friends audigy 2 and its kindda blur and boomy, then i bought myself a auiotrack optoplay. it has more details la and the bass its not that boomy. my sub is set to 11o clock.

anyway i stuff some socks into the port hole so i can get a more tight bass and it works la. at least tighter than b4.

I also have a set of THX ProMedia 2.1 with the box and manual

count me in too lgs

I have Promedia 5.1 Ultra. I am selling it too/.

haha ,Promedia 5.1 ,its a good one ,but last Price is LowYat is RM2200+ only.

i thought the purpose of the port hole is to provide a way for air to escape from the sub? wont you be blocking the passageway if u stuff socks in it?

ex-user of the gmx reporting in

Yo lgs bruther,

Klispch Promedia 2.1 does not have "ultra" version la, only the 2.0 has the Ultra behind the name. The 2.1 ProMedia has the THX-Certified tag-line though as seen here:
http://www.klipsch.com/product/list.aspx?line=1260&type=All
This set is quite nice apart from the occasional shrill highs and tendency to boom(only in a small room, in an adequately sized room, its bass integrates quite well with the sats). One word, these are loud, very loud at a slight turn of the knob.

This set was the successful successor of the 1st Klipsch multimedia system(remember the Klipsch ProMedia v.2-400 that had some hiss issues initially) that set the world on fire with PC-hifi idealogy. Well, after that came the 4.1 then 4.2(2 sets of the ProMedia 2.1 actually), then Ultra 5.1(oops...typo here earlier, they are still selling at the Klipsch site but comes in US power ratings, so you need a transformer to use one in M'sia) and lately the subwooferless Ultra 2.0(this one didn't get so many raves as those before).

cheers

o.. ,thanks for sharing ,bro.

sorry wrong question...GMX 5.1 dun got DTS ka??cuz i like watcin movies....planin ta get dis klipsch....but i ask at sri comps...dey said no DTS...so went bak home...din bought it... ...still tinkin bout it..

This post has been edited by Turnip: May 13 2006, 04:26 PM

yup no DTS...but it doesn't matter because you can still use the software DVD player to decode or using soundcard to decode DTS signal.

owh ic...hehe...after dis im in da klub!!! GMX it is...!!

Hey i'm enquiring on Klipsch Pro Media Ultra 5.1
or should i go for promedia 2.1 ? issit necessary for 5.1 ?

attentive

I guess new one no more available ,market only available 2nd hand or recon unit in US .


Turnip

u r GMX user ah ? 2.1 or 5.1 ah ?

This post has been edited by lgs: May 24 2006, 04:09 PM

necessity is always a personal thing. a superstar's lifestlye may neccessitate a ferrari, but a 'normal' person's do not.

when looking at multichanel systems, you must always remember: not all games or movies support multichannel. music is meant to be played on stereo and not multichannel, unless of course we're talking about dvd audio.

well then, now i do not see any reason whatsoever to get a PMU5.1

Silon, what i have is mazuma. I could afford it anytime.

ur opinion is very much appreciated.

lgs any "kang tau" ?

I'm considering between a GMX-A 2.1 and a MX5021. Just wondering, how's the bass on the GMX? I know it's probably pretty strong, but is it tight and controlled? And how fast can it respond?

Currently leaning towards MX5021, but the GMX-A might be nicer for games IMO, so I need to ask around.

attentive

Klipsch in M'sia no more ultra 2.1 or 5.1 except u wanna by 2nd hand , in US there is recon which out by Klipsch but M'sia didnt in stock.


evilnickwong

I also struggle with this 2 option b4 ,guess everyone doess , but after I test and think , I prefer Klipsch sound rather then Altec , anyway ,both is a very good speaker.

Btw,my setup is same as lgs . PSC805 pair with GMX 2.1

This post has been edited by saiga: Oct 14 2006, 01:05 AM

dun worry man... ("same me too...i also thought gmx sound better than MX5021") that is my opinion...so if there's people dun agree with me.then it's fine...

hehehe...anyway all the people in the world have a right to say their opinions right...

i still thinking what soundcard to pair with my gmx 2.1 either PSC805 or AV710 ...

anybody can help me to choose...???i'm more on music then movie or games

Bro,if more on music better get the PSC 805.Very2 nice sound.Cool looking some more.Completely nice macthing it with your gmx.

If in future what to upgrade to 5.1 also can still use the PSC805

This post has been edited by saiga: Oct 14 2006, 12:34 PM

well, ive never listenend to the PSC805 before but the av710 is a very very warm card. i think it should fit the gmx.

[anyway, if you guys werent turned off by the brightness of the speakers i dont think warmth matters that much ]

Not too sure on PC spkrs. But for HT, its Tractrix tweeter does make it sounds a lil bright. But, aint complaining since i got a cable to neutralise by a lil and it does its job for movie.

Currently pairing with audigy de....
No money to upgrade sound card after buying this speaker lol

just wondering,are there any problems when using gmx5.1?
plan to get it.

yai...today just get another gmx 2.1(2nd hand from a forumer).i paired it with my 2nd rig (inspiron 9300) now i have 2X gmx 2.1 in my house...one in my room and the other one @the living room...

klipsch rocks man...

yeah..now still saving money to get pc805 to pair it with my laptop+gmx 2.1

wah,u really gmx fan man

nway,already upgrade the stock speaker cables to canare?

I just bought the Promedia GMX from garagesale 2 days ago, but i found that the front right channel dun have sound. Stil wait for garagesale to change for me.

hahaha....it's that statement for me???thanks man...i just love it...

mind to show u'r speaker cable???

i don't have a digicam with me

btw,just search the net for CANARE 4S8 cable and CANARE F10 PLUG.Sure can find one

anyway..it looks good also...but dunno the quality...

which cable did u change to canare??how much does it cost???
does it really affect to the sound quality...??hahaha...im really newbie in audiophiles la...

Finally i finish the COD with garagesales. And now i own the klipsch GMX 5.1......it a good speaker.


Anyone here can help? I'm looking for a coaxial cable for my speaker, any recommended brand and where i can get it?

Thanks for help!!!

Get the optical, alot of place can get,i using the same set also, too bad got no dts.

this thread is soo silent mean there are too few klipsch owner here

i brought my gmx back to my hometown...and now only use m3300+ksc75+sr80...i really miss my gmx sounds...anyway..im curious hows the sound of promedia 2.1?alot people said it has a good sound quality....is it more on clarity or still for basshead or well ballanced...

I think suppose got many people using klipsch speaker, but not at Malaysia

My 4 years old Promedia 2.1's bass is broken already
It has some sort of bubble burst sound coming out when there is a heavy beat.
Wonder if it's possible to just change the subwoofer?

i think u can change...but need to order from US (correct me if im wrong)

Hahaha mine was imported from US, cost me alot to ship over (tat was long time ago). Well I'm not going to do tat again haha. Might as well buy another set of speakers here.

Put me on the list, as the proud owner of Klipsch Promedia GMX-A 2.1. I've fixed the lack of bass few days ago, at first I thought why do people say the bass is boomy becasue even at max volume, theres barely any bass,

I opened up the preamp and I found out one of the capacitor fell off, soldered it back and now I know what do you guys mean. I'm not a bass freak, I cant even handle bass at more than 1/4 of the knob turned

aiya, not everybody like to kepoh2 maa

pm TS dude, even the first post doesn't even update for more a year now

Years ago I had valuable experience playing with the REAL DEAL Klipsch floor stander speakers and KSW series subwoofers at Tat Chuan showroom hooked to Onkyo flagship receiver. Its certainly a breath taking experience on Dolby Digital, DTS and what nots..

Happen to have a picture of the setup, sorry its NOT good..taken with 1st generation Sony Digicam. See the Klipsch speakers and satellites there.

This post has been edited by bsl555: May 18 2007, 10:36 PM

Where can I audition Klipsch A-5.1 at low yat?

i think...sri computer there got one 5.1 one...but i m not sure whether that one is a5.1...and is the shop called sri computer...the largest in lowyat.....at corner one..

Whiich floor? thx for info
I hear klipsch Gmx 2.1 can add-on subwoofer!
How to add more sub?
To Klipsch fans, reply some info plz..

There are SWS connector on the back of the sub, it was meant to connect to another sub. Crazy idea, one sub is enough to shake the house despite its 50W power on the sub

I done something to my Klipsch satellite, I done recabling it with some cheap cable from Jalan Pasar (RM2.60 1M) and RM3.50 RCA jack and it sounds ultra warm! No longer super bright digitalized sound, the detail still there but the brightness is gone, its mellow I should say. Vocal is very warm, I like it though

Like a tube amp huh?

Exactly, surprising this speaker is very bright before. Or is it because of the Canare cable too?

Cables has some contributing influence in an audio system. I used take this factor lightly until I personally experienced the change made by a cable..

klipsch dont have any new models ?

Nope, if you asked about it's multimedia speaker

Even though it's warm and narrower soundstage, I can hear more detail

guyz klipsch 5.1 how much now?

May i know wat is the best satelite cable for KLipsch GMX 2.1,where can buy it???..
Coz i think original cable doesn't push the sound quality at all...

This post has been edited by juniortit@n: Sep 9 2007, 02:00 AM

Best cable I don't know. You can do what I do (few posts above), cheap and significant difference, you can see the cable on DIY able mod thread

but can it better that original cable and does it really make a big difference???

You got to do it to believe. I'm one of the guy who don't believe cable can improve sound quality until after testing few headphone when recabled and my speaker recabled, I say there's quite an improvement for not that much money

By my ear it was better, read my post above for what's the difference

OIC...that i have try it out and compare again to Aego M 2.1...see whether got big difference anot...
