Is there any difference between this model and the Klipsch - ProMedia 2.1 Speaker System at Best Buy which for some reason says "Best Buy Only"?

Best Buy lists the wattage as 55w RMS. Klipsch website indicates Peak Power: 200 Watts total system. Amazon.com indicates wattage @ 200w.Satellites: 35 watts/channel @ 5% THD, 1KHz, two channels driven Subwoofer: 130 watts peak (50 watts @ 5% THD, 50 Hz continuous) Best Buy asks $149.99. Amazon.com shows $139.99, $79.99 "used", free shipping. I bought "used" from Amazon. One piece of styrofoam packing was missing from the box, but did not affect the condition of the speakers whatsoever. I am very pleased with my purchase. The bass is so solid, without any boominess.

No, there is no difference. Best Buy is the only one of our retailers that sells this system.

I bought mine about a year and a half ago. Most likely if the 2.1's sound better to you, give them a shot.

I'm sorry but I have no idea myself. Did you try calling the company and asking them. I hope that you find that answer. The system itself is great. Both of my sons have one and I just purchased one for myself yesterday.

I bought one, and the box had a date stamp of '2014'. I phoned Klipsch USA and they said they had stopped producing this model before 2014. They did not know where the item I bought came from. Buyer beware...

I am wondering if they are a German product which is assembled in Ireland. I am curious myself and will research it further when I have time. I have Boise 301 speakers which are great , but I just played some Classical Masterpieces, and they sound better than my Bose speakers. I think you will have to spend a lot more money to find anything better. I researched them extensively before I bought them. I am very pleased with them .

No difference whatsoever. I have purchased many of these for gifts. Different colors. Those that have them, including me (I take on the road).....all love them. It is a great portable speaker. If you are looking for something more substantial...try the KMC 3 in purple...which may be had for about $200 and is an absolute steal at that price.

Both are excellent speakers, but my vote has to go to theZ623s: more power; larger, stronger woofer; better warranty; treble and midrange are comparable. I own both, and I'm happy with both, but the Z623s come out on top in my opinion. And don't forget that they're ususally less expensive. I bought both of mine around Christmas of 2012 at Best Buy. Paid $89 for one, $99 for the other. Check out this review: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/reviews/135928-five-2-1-speaker-set-comparison.html

Yeah, I've seen it as well. When the MP141 is sold out the Amazon site redirects you to the other Bluetooth speaker. Just wait and keep checking, the MP141 will be available again soon - it is worth waiting for!

I apologize, but my answer wasn't quite right. I mistakenly thought you were asking about the subwoofer I also bought on Amazon, rather than the Klipsch bookshelf speakers. My answer stays about the same, though. While you can get all kinds of opinions online, I still think a visit to a local stereo shop (not a chain like Best Buy) will provide you with specs and information that should help you decide on a receiver.

I would buy longer higher quality cable and check with Best Buy or Fry's about what speakers might be compatible. You also may need a more expensive system.

The "5.0" in the name refers to the fact that the set comes with 5 speakers, not a version number. If it came with a sub-woofer it would be "5.1" as the 1 indicates a single sub-woofer. It looks like the new version is just a slight redesign but I actually prefer the look of these more because they come on nice looking stands (excluding the center speaker). I also think they have very good sound quality & I'm quite pleased with them. If you do get this set, I would definitely recommend getting a sub-woofer.

Yes, you get two brand speakers along with all the hardware, just as if you were buying it at Best Buy!! They sound great in my boat!!

Klips in my opinion are overpriced speakers and if you want clear highs and descent bass I will strongly suggest that you try definite technology. Buy then from a store that you return them if you are not pleased. Remember speaker placement is critical specially with outdoor systems.

I cannot compare the two sets, but I can tell you this: the Definitive Technology AW 6500 has a 10" woofer that reflects back off the mounted wall and gives incredible bass presence to the sound, plus a 6.5 mid-speaker as well as the 1" tweeter. The speakers you want to compare with these has a 5.5 inch woofer and a 1" tweeter. I don't see how the Klipsch can possible compare in fidelity.

That's all in the "ear" of the beholder. I matched my JBL with a couple of older Bose front speakers we had and then puchased a set of Klipsch rear speakers I got a great deal on. It sounds good to myself and my family. I think you would need to purchsase the JBL and see (Listen) for yourself. If it doesn't meet your needs (Sound good with the primus speakers) then send it back. But I've been happy with it.

I have a similar system to yours although all my components are mostly Sony. My primary speakers are Athena 125 watts per speaker, each containing a woofer, subwoofer & tweeter. I have had these Cerwin Vega VE5M speakers for about six months now, and am very pleased with the quality & sound. Although they sound great alone, I use them in conjunction with my Athenas & the increase in sound range is incredible. Although I'd highly recommend the Cerwins alone, with systems like ours, they are designed to increase the sound range, and they do the job! your system will sound twice as good if you add these to your existing speakers (although you might find they out-class your Yamahas!) -Good listening-Will I have a similar system to yours although all my components are mostly Sony.

JBL is my babies, go to the best buy upper end section, they have an assortment of brands, you should listen to your own style of music before making decision.

They look the same, same specs, weight and even the same general decals. If I were to guess I would say Monoprice made a deal to private label the same speakers, a common practice. after years of reading reviews from CNET, PC mag, ect, and individuals I bought my Take 5.1 system just a few weeks ago but paid $299+free shipping from newegg. I found the monoprice deal a few days ago and thought the same as you. Did you notice the first review on the monoprice speakers? That guy figured it out and saved a bundle, D'oh! On the other hand the Klipsch brand may lose a bundle and many retailers who dropping the line because no one will pay $400 if indeed monoprice speakers are the same.

I went to JBL's Website and compared the white and black On Tour speakers. They were exactly the same. I think the reason the white model is more expensive is because it matches the ipod in color. Maybe they think ipod users would be willing to pay more to match their system.
