Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers go semi-wireless, still awesome
We love Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 computer speakers, and we were wondering why the THX-certified powered speakers have been scarce lately. Here's the answer: they're going wireless. They still deliver that kick-ass sound, and at $199, only cost about 50 bucks more than the wired version. Plug your USB wireless transmitter into your Mac or PC's USB port, and then you're rocking that 200-watt amplifier inside the ProMedia 2.1's awesome subwoofer.
There's a catch, though — that subwoofer still needs to plug into a wall outlet, and the two satellite speakers are still connected to the subwoofer with wires. The advantage? You can place those speakers and their sub 30 feet away from the PC. Might be great for listening to iTunes in the bedroom, controlling your PC via Wi-Fi with the Apple Remote app on your iPhone.
If the lack of complete wirelessness is mildly disappointing to you, the good news is that you can still get those original ProMedia 2.1 speakers for $150.

I am looking for a 2.1 system and I like the Klipsch Promedia 2.1. Now my question is has anybody ever hooked up bookshelf spreakers or any other speakers to this system? If so, how did it sound? I have two JBL62 speakers laying around that have a 6" woofer and a 1" tweeter and probably are better than the Klipsch satellites. How well would this work?
