Finally got em :) All I can say is wow when compared to my mh505s, I can only dream of how the ultras sound. These things are as loud at 10% volume as my monsoons were turned all the way up and sound just as clear. The bass is exactly how I wanted it to be and blows away my previous setup. Thanks for the good tip guys :)
edit: Oh and these were the refurbished from klipsch site... NO cosmetical errors, look like a brand new pair of speakers.
Glad you like 'em. All this time I thought you were waiting for the Ultra's to arrive...lol!:D
hehe. glad you like them. :) klipschs rule!!! how much were they refurbed? 129?
yep 129.99. 140 with shipping. well worth the cost imo i love these things.
Glad you like them man! How do you have the rear speakers positioned?
I noticed that moving my rear speakers about 2 feet behind me made a huge difference:D
Havnt grabbed those stands from walmart yet which i'm planning on doing this weekend. At the moment they are on my desk, like a 45 degree angle.
Oh cool I hope you like them. I just got mine over the weekend:)
The optimal angle for the rear speakers is 30 degrees back if starting horizontally from your shoulders.
For the front speakers, 45 degrees from the shoulders is best, and of course 90 degrees for the center speakers.

Excellent Choice, I'm glad you enjoy them. Ever since I've owned the original Klipsch v2.400's I've impressed family and friends alike with their quality and output for their price. Now the trend continues with the ultras :)
I bought the very first promedia's 4.1 v2-400.
After 3 years of pumping games and clubmusic they are still going strong. I do not feel a need to upgrade and this is by far teh computerpart that outlasted everything else.
German quality written all over it. If they die now I'll get without a doubt them 5.1's.
If you have the money get yourself some klipsch!!

Originally, I thought Klipsch was German, too. I think they're based in Indianapolis, though ;)
mine are still going strong after a year of wall shaking :)
I think Paul Klipsch was of German descent. He was German-American.Quote:

I'm one myself;)
I'm 1/64th Irish...lol.:D
Actually, acording to Dolby labs, IIRC, the best is 90 degrees (on your side) with about 2-5 feet above your ear-level.Quote:

I have mine set at about 2-3 feet.
This helps the sound envelope you while watching movies.
Excellent point Crawlingeye, but I think the question here is what he will do most on the computer.
If he games most of the time, it would be beneficial to put the surround speakers a certain way.(more localization of effects) Mostly movie watching on the otherhand, would require the way that you mentioned.(more diffuse surround field) What he does most should be reflected in his surround speaker placement.:)
How bout an updated desk shot DAoC?
Ohh good idea since old desk had monsoons on it. Hmm lemme clean my desk off and we'll give it a try~ (ya im a neat freak if it has to be seen in public :P).

I do use this configuration with my THX 550's. I don't have a huge room (not too small though) so it works quite efficiently, even though they're near-field speakers. I have them mounted to my walls. I think I'm soon going to buy some stands though, so I can sit them behind me while on my computer. For movies, I have a futon which I flip up for watching, which is where my rear sats are at. The only real problem is that this will require me to move my speakers back and forth, depending on the application.
Some new pics, don't mind the quality~ old camera.

That's some nice audio equipment ya got there man!
You should mess with the sub placement a little too, try to get in close to the corner of the room:)
My mom would love that ;) Shakier walls, already funny to watch her look at her stuff on the wall rattling with it that far in lol. Just a few speakers yes... when I had my monsoons I had 2x 5.1 systems going in my room, people thought i was crazy.
How do klipsch's HT speakers perform btw? They have a nice looking refrence series for like 300 something, 5.1, look kinda like the promedias, center is longer though. After having these 4.1s I wouldn't have to debate even getting another klipsch product.
yea, i was thinking the same thing. i dont think i'll every buy anthing but klipsch for my pcs, but how about HT? i'm thinking about getting a small HT setup for my place.Quote:
