    Ordered the 4.1's from klipsch, they got em back in stock. Nice thing though they have good resale value so if I upgrade to ultras at least these dont goto waste

    Refurb, $129.99. New sets seem kind of hard to find as I'm guessing they don't make em anymore and are ~$200.00. I can live with the lower warrenty and possible cosmetic problem if it saves 70 bucks.

    awesome. i would have gotten them refurbed, i mean, they're gonna get cosmetic imprefections in them anyways, so why not save the 70 bucks, right? i might get 2.1 set for my laptop later.

    Eh, you want hold up on that thought. Do this. take your ultras and connect them to your lappy. (Yes, I understand that it'll play in 2.1 mode. But you'll see a large degrade in sound quality. The soundcards in laptops do a true injustice to speaker systems. I'm speaking from experience.
