Yeah Pinchy, don't feel bad. I've decided I'm not buying from Newegg unless Klipsch will honor the warranty. Otherwise, I'm getting them from Best Buy:)Quote:

Yes it has a wireless remote... wondering how you would even connect it to an audigy 2 say... seems to have no standard headphone size plugs to connect the two.
How are the megaworks 550? Looking at those atm. More bass than the mh505? >< That's what I'm looking for #1... bass.

At least that's what I heard from the forums. I posted again, just to make sure, cuz I know some others who want them, but were debating whether or not to get them from newegg. I've spread Ultra fever. :)
"That's what I'm looking for #1... bass."
You considered any of the klipsch promedia series? Also could you be more specific in the type of bass you prefer? There are big differences going from system to system...
rephrase that. promedia vs GMXs?Quote:

If you want bass for cheap get the Gmx's which come with an SWS bundle, although this wont be nearly the same quaility or quantity as an ulra setup, it is much cheaper.
The sat's have gotten mixed reviews.. some people like em some dont.
Was looking at the promedia 4.1 but was already said on the first page I believe it wouldn't be a decent improvement over my current mh505 (unless that person was clueless?). Obviously I would love some ultras :) But maybe in a few months. Type of bass hmm... the deep stuff that makes your heart start beating at 120bpm and just fills the room. The monsoon bass is more of the crisp "bumps" I guess when you know there is supposed to be bass.Quote:

And I thought the GMX were geared more towards consoles?
They are geared towards gamers... However, Based on what you like:
"he deep stuff that makes your heart start beating at 120bpm and just fills the room."
I would completely recommend a set of Klipsch 4.1s which would walk all over the mh505's in output and depth.
Or even If you like the decoder and features of the GMX then those would be a good option as well, it comes with 6.5" long throw which fills most rooms with bass easy. If you buy it from klipsch it comes with a free SWS 8 inch sub thats a marvel in its own. That would output about the same bass as the original 5.1s (not as good quality mind you) for $299

No way I could drop 300 on that GMX knowing ultras are only 60 bucks more :) So I guess I have narrowed it down to between the promedia 4.1 and the megaworks550. Decisions decisions....
seems the 4.1 refurbished for 150 are gone on the klipsch site :/ either that or im blind theres no purchase button anywhere on the page.
The 550's are more musical than the 4.1s for classical, jazz or anything that requires alot of detail also heavy(in your face).
Imo the Klipsch 4.1 sub has more depth and Slam than the 550, and is better for games, dvds,and bass heavy music ( rap, techno/trance hip hop Etc) the dual 6.5 inch drivers deliver more punch, power and dynamic range.
Again imo the 4.1 sub is better suited for what you will be using, the 550's are more rounded in the music department but a little more expensive..
haveing said that you can't go wrong with either set.
i'd take the megaworks over the klipsch 4.1s, but as cheap as they are, i don't think i could pass up the 4.1s. i'd buy them even if i didn't need them. i'd use them with my laptop or somethin. hehe.
with the refurbished being sold out, the 4.1s and megaworks are pretty much same price (unless I can find a cheap pair of 4.1s on ebay).
not likely you'll find a decent set off ebay. i couldn't find any.Quote:

get the megaworks, u won't be dissapointed.
Muhahah might be getting parents to loan me some cash till I can sell some crap (some of its listed on the trade forums gogo buy it up) and I can afford some ultras then. We'll see how it plays out could be better than 4.1s!
