Hello, I'm here to tell you about an insane deal on Klipsch's digital 5.1 surround sound system called the GMX D-5.1. It's a great-sounding sub/sat/decoder package that connects to video game consoles, TVs, DVD players, iPods and just about anything with a digital out or an RCA left/right jack. It's also great as a small home theater system for your dorm room or den.

For a limited time only, you can buy a Klipsch GMX D-5.1 speaker system at the Klipsch employee price of just $149.99. That's half off the suggested retail price! This limited time offer includes a payment plan option of just six easy payments of $25.00. Don't wait. Once these speakers are gone, they're gone, and these prices will never be available again.

Improve your play, impress your friends, get a great deal and get more out of your games, movies and music ... get Klipsch.

You should probably start telling people to include "This advertisement has been approved by CheapyD" in their ad, otherwise they will get flamed first, and asked questions later.

For what its worth, they seem to sell for $200 at other places (Amazon) and they got good reviews.

And how hot was it? Seriously, any decent 250W sub is going to run you $135 with a hell of a deal... oh and 700 watt speakers dont mean anything, its what your receiver/amp is sending to them, just FYI.

Wow, I had an idea the "spamming" replies would come Cheazy D. Anyways, for those of you who are intersted in this. You probablly should think twice about the $140 and $145 deals. We are aware of them and they are UNAUTHORIZED dealers. You can read about them here! (http://www.klipsch.com/customerservice/legal/unauthorizeddealers.aspx)
We have had countless customer calls us with broken, defective, or dead on arrival units from unauthorized dealers. We have attempted to knock them out, but a few remain. I'm sorry if you are all offended by me trying to help you out with this deal, but I did email him first. Thank you, and I will be glad to answer any questions about this system. symphonicreverb@yahoo.com thanks!

My Logitech Z-680's will burn the shit out of those lameass speakers... decoder/sound quality/ decoder capabilities... besides that DTS on the decoder of the klipsch has a weak DTS decoding system.. Dolby Pro Logic II sounds the best with the Logitech Z-680's so far the best sound I've heard from the Z-680's is the opening intro for NFS: Underground on Ps2 and that's the best I've heard from gaming.

You know Im not sure how they the wattage on it, but the motherfucker is loud as hell when I watch a movie, I now hate watching a movie without my surround sound system, I got it at Sears, they were closing it out at the location, it was the floor model, but in great shape with all the cables. The original price was $350, and I saw it at another Sears for that price.

Cheapy D, I appologize for the incorrect name. Would you recommend just log off and never come back, because that is what it appears everyone would like. I thought this website was for giving cheap ass deals. If you all would like me to shut up and leave, I will. If you would like me to answer questions about the product, I will. But please don't keep flameing because everyone else does.

10-04-2004, 08:34 PM
Absolutely not.

The CAGs are very protective of their home and they don't want to see it overrun by companies looking out for themselves. If they had known you had contacted me first, I can guarantee you would not have gotten such a cold welcome.

If I knew you were ready to post your deal, I would have offered you some advice first, such as writing that you had contacted me first.

Regardless, I feel you have a legitimately good deal here and I welcome more in the future. I hope you aren't turned off so much that you don't feel welcome here anymore.

Hey I know Klipsch is an audio company and is suppose to be THE(thee) company for good PC speakers but have you thought of going past that to a GOOD CRT monitor with REAL DVI? If you or someone else would make a highend CRT monitor like this with a real DVI hook up I would definitely consider buying just for the HDTV aspect since I don't want to be assraped by the price gouge that IS the HDTV or LCD tv. Also(this is minimal) a good component to DVI convertor would be nice to be seen by someone so I could use this to easily throw all my next gens. on the monitor. :wink:

Oh and p.s. PLEASE make a GOOD 6.1 speaker+decoder system! I have a motherboard with onboard 6.1 sound capabilities and I'd like to use it. Truth be told I'd prefer 7.1 just for the extra speaker when I get upgraded though. :wink:

Anyway, thanks.

I doubt that Klipsch would enter other markets right now. Their prescence is firmly rooted in audio and they do a really good job with that, so it doesn't make a ton of sense for them to enter a market which they don't know a whole lot about.

Sorry, but no free shipping. I tried for you guys, but got nowhere. This price is literally at borderline lose money. Sorry, you did not scare me away, haha, I've been away from my desk. I just got on at home to check and see if any other questions arose. So, no on the free shipping. And no on the CRT monitor with DVI input, which would be nice though! And on another note, it was mentioned that somebody wanted something larger, a 7.1? We do have a 7.2 system that can be set up with two 1,000 watt 12" sups with a max rating of 2,000 watts on each. :-) But it is pretty much one of the most expensive systems we make and is meant for MASSIVE home theatre. I will smile if somebody is daring enough to set one up with their comptuer! click here to check that out (http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=774) Well I'm off tonight, I'll check back up early AM to answer any questions that may arrise.

In all fairness, this isn't a bad deal. I might have considered this deal if a) I had the money (of course), b) my current "office" could accomodate a 5.1 speaker set, and most importantly, c) if these speakers had been sanctioned by Maximum PC. Sadly, that luxury goes to the Logitech Z-680.

However, the Klipsch GMX A-21 IS Maximum PC's top rated 2.1 speaker set (as of the October 2004 issue). I'd be quite interested in a deal on those. :wink: :wink:

klipschaudio
10-06-2004, 09:41 AM
Oddly enough, the 2.1 system is right now at..... $149.99. This shows how much we've dropped the 5.1 price. So you want a good 2.1 set up, buy the 5.1, leave the surround and center channels open, and sell the sat's on ebay maybe? :D Whatever you do, good luck! Maybe someday soon those 2.1's will drop in price, but I'm not too sure, check back on the website periodically daphatty and maybe they'll drop soon. Good luck
