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?
