I see that Klipsch is still making the 2.1 promedia setup, but is available exclusively from bestbuy - (red flags bolt toward the sky!)
Is it still any good? I see an awful lot of promedia spare parts on sale at ebay. Meaning that either it's so popular that there are a lot of parts around OR they are so cheaply made that they break down and the rest gets parted out - or both...
anyway... I have an older sony receiver that I'm using with my computer - it was cheap on CL when my Klipsch GMX set died and has optical output.
I can't find my optical adapter for the imac, so I'm using analog. Doesn't sound as good, but I REALLY like having the keyboard audio controls.
Now... years ago, I used to use my mac for movie watching. having 5.1 was pretty nice, but I don't use the mac to movie watching anymore. I like the audio quality of optical cable, but should I bother going optical/digital just for my itunes (that is most mp3s)?
what do y'all recommend?
