I just received my set of Klipsch 4.1's today. For those of you who don't know what the Klipsch Promedias are, allow me to give you a brief description.

Each speaker and subwoofer is forged in the fires of Mount Klipsch and blessed by Satan himself. So wickedly powerful are they that any attempt to play Christian Rock will result in the subwoofer growing arms and legs and beating the shit out of you for trying to sully its good name with pansy-ass music. To give the system its true life, a virgin is sacrificed to the ancient Norse god ... Klipsch, which imbues them with their 400W RMS of power. To break the speakers in, a 75 year-old fundamentalist Baptist minister is forced to listen to them at full volume, full sub, while blasting the S&M rendition of "Fuel" by Metallica until his ears bleed. Only then do the speakers receive their final, black benediction of THX certification.

And, they're MINE.

My dorm room is quivering, and my floor will bow to my listening desires. No more of this rap bullshit. No more of these pithy speaker systems trying to imitate a gross, inaccurate approximation of good bass. They'll listen to Andrea Boccelli 24 fucking hours a day if I so desire. I have the power. All will fall before my might!

. . . . that must be the most bizarre description of a sound system I have ever heard in my life . . . .

Nothing is worse than being woken up at 3 AM on the night of a test by rap emanating from some rich white brat's room. It makes me want to

KILL.

Do not sink to their level.

Approved by Satan you say? Satan seems to have an effective branding campaign. I wonder how much "Satan Approved" certification costs?

Damn. Seeing the title, I thought this would be a thead about He-man.

In its own special way, isn't it?

Well I just picked up the cabling required for me to rig 4.1 surround sound in my room.

All hail the GameTheatre XP and Altec Lansing!

Your system will bow to my all ultimate circuit breaker soon enough.

BWAAHHAA!

I FOOOL I have the 5.1 System, THE ONLY COMPUTER CILIVIAN SOUND SYSTEM ON THE MARKET STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK GLASS,

Even came with a Handy remote to so I can spring it on guests from my safe soundproof Concrete Bunker 2 Kms away(Well to normal things like Nuclear Airbursts, Air raid Sirgns and the like, But I still need Headphones and earplugs if I don't want my ears bleeding on max volumes)

Hey, come on, I bought them refurbished for $150. But yes, the 5.1's are godly.

Altecs are a good brand, but I always find them lacking in overall richness. Not Klipsch. :D

Speaking of bratty rich white kids, i pissed one off not even a hour ago. They are so damn funny, not to mention ignorant. He was even stupid enough to threaten me in front of a teacher. Dumbass.

No, that's when you turn on 1812, Fanfare for the Common Man or Ride of the Valkryes, full blast.

Did that once in college. House two doors down was having a loud party. We put the speakers up to the windows and blasted the end of 1812 and Fanfare. It got quiet pretty quick. Then the cops showed up.

Of coures, I did that several times in our apartment too when the neighbors got loud.

I remember some guys I knew in college - superb engineers, all of them - designed and built a backpack-carryable water cannon. Could blow your average adult off his feet. It was like the cold war - they didn't USE the thing, but the threat looming over all made them widely respected.

Though a rather nice sound system I want that sort of power imbued on my amp *drool* sheer riff ripping goodness

Bah. My subwoofer's magnet ALONE weighs 21 pounds.

Lol, next time try the Battlestar Galactica theme opening. That's some powerful music!

My speakers might not be complete monsters, but I like them all the same.

Altec Lansing ADA-995, THX-Certified. Subwoofer is 100W, composed of two 6.5 inch woofers. It's about the same size as my computer's CPU; about 18x8x17 inches. I also have five satellites at 20W a piece.

Wasn't forged in Mount Klipsch, but it accomplishes the task of pissing off neighbors all the same.

Please don't ruin this for me... :)

Did you know??

John Williams uses a brief bit of that very theme in Episode 1? Next time you listen to Anakin and Group to Coruscant, about halfway through, you will hear the opening theme of Battlestar Galactica. It's very brief.

Bah. Not all of us have the cash to buy a Velodyne F-series subwoofer

Oh come on, you know Mike had to pop in about his F-1500R.

I wonder if Mike and his family have hearing problems.

What?

Hearing so bad he can't even read...

Getting deaf in your old age, Mike?
