Up until a month ago I owned a set of Klipsch Promedia 2.1's. While they were great for the occasional movie and to some degree music, they seemed muffled at times. With my brother starting college and without speakers, I gave them to him and picked up a pair of Audioengine A2's(not the A2+) as others whobhave had a chanve to compare these teo have said there is a "cleaner, richer sound" with the A2's. Personally I don't hear it and in a way these sound muddier. I haven't had a chance to A/B as I no longer own the Promedia's but from what I remember, even the satellite speakers exhibited a cleaner sound. Both were plugged into the same Asus Essence STX sound card on my computer at comparable volume levels. You could say its hard to compare a 2.0 and 2.1 system which may be true but maybe I'm missing something? With the exception of buying a new set of speakers, would adding a sub help? Any software tweaks I don't know about that may help? If not, any new speaker suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Looking for a solution under $200.
