I have these http://www.klipsch.com/products/promedia-ultra-5-1-computer-speaker-system and now the center front speaker doesn't work any more. It seems that there is either another resistor or another cap that has finally gone, and yet there I don't see anything physical or smell anything off on the board itself.
As the title says, it's happened before. The first 2 times, I had a local guy fix it, and there after it was tinkering with stuff, replacing caps, etc. However, I think that it may be about time to finally replace the system as this time, it may be in the actual connections to the speakers. So, I have turned to you all to see what you would suggest.
The external speakers all seem to work well, and the idea of an inexpensive receiver to replace the amp in the sub makes sense, but then I would need to also add in another sub, OR I can try yet again to see if I can find someone to get this working for another year or 2. I don't want to spend too much, no more than to say $400-$500, but I want decent sound.
Currently in the PC I still have the old Creative Z that I was using with this set, but if I go the receiver route, I know that also opens a lot of other doors. After all, I admit this speaker set was used from 2002 to this year, so I feel I did get my $ worth.
Suggestions and thoughts?
Cliffs:
1. Klipsch sub/amp combo having issues again
2. Is it finally time to replace it, and if so, with what?
3. Smallish budget
