 I’ve loved the ProMedia speaker line ever since I heard them back when I was working at the Apple store. Now Klipsch has introduced the ProMedia 2.1 Wireless iPod/Computer Speaker system. You won’t believe the sound coming from this setup! The price is right at $199, and the wireless capability makes them a great choice for a living/working environment. These speakers ROCK!
