Umm....  no.

Klipsch ProMedia V2.400 - 160 watt sub + 4 60-watt sats with horn tweeters...
none of that wussy dolby pro-logic decoding, digital inputs or a useless
center channel...  It's a connection equivalent of an FPS1000 (dual 1/8"
stereo plugs for front and rear) on ultra-steroids...  DTT2500...  blah.  The
center channel never gets used unless you're watching a movie (and who wants
to watch a movie on a 15" or even a 21" screen when there's a nice large
inviting 27" or bigger set in the other room) and all that proprietary digital
connectivity drives the price up.  The Klipsches run $250 for 400 watts of
power (RMS, mind you, not peak)..  FPS2000 is $180 or so for 56 watts..  do
the math.

Oh yeah, the Klipsch system is actually THX-certified...  who would have
thought?
