It seems that Klipsch which is famous with Promedia series in computer speaker category, has reduced their model. I saw in their website, it's only Promedia GMX A2.1 speaker that still exists. This is a pity because Klipsch, a major player in home theater speaker systems, has been well-known as an excellent high-end computer speaker vendor as well for the recent years. Maybe Klipsch decided to focused only on home theater speaker systems market, abandoning the sub $500 computer speaker systems.
While I think many Klipsch fans will regret this, I think this is a good strategy for company like Klipsch to maintain its fame. Well, as we know, not many people find it necessary to buy a very high-end computer speaker, because a lot of us find it easier and enjoyable to watch movie through our home theater systems rather than watch it through computer. Compatibility problems and a lot of major issue make us rather lazy to use computer for this purpose :). That's why home theater speaker systems is easier to be sold rather than high-end computer speaker systems....
But I hope Klipsch will still make computer speaker in the future, as their design is always fascinating. Just look at Klipsch Promedia GMX A2.1 in the picture above. Don't you think the satellite design is superb?
