So having it powered all the time won't make too much of a difference in terms of shortening its life span or anything?

I just got the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 system for Christmas. One question I had was about the power button. It is located on the back of the sub-woofer, so am I supposed to crawl under my desk and reach around there to turn it off every night, or am I supposed to leave it on all the time?

Thanks for the replies. Audioengine A2: There was a "one star" review on that page that kind of put a red flag up for me on these speakers. A lot of people comment that they experience, "listening fatigue"? Not sure what that means though. The lack of a convenient volume control is what I'm worried about. I know it is probably a stupid thing to be concerned about, but I am constantly adjusting my volume on my speakers at my computer. Putting the knob in the back might be a deal breaker for me. Also, I hear people commenting that the bass is kind of overpowering sometimes. Here is the link to the review: http://www.amazon.com/Audioengine-White-Powered-Speaker-System/product-reviews/B000VKEFMS/ref=cm_cr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&filterBy=addOneStar Acoustic Energy Aego M: Like you mentioned, impossible to find. I couldn't find any after searching online, but they are a little out of the price range anyways so I'm not too worried about it. Klipsch ProMedia 2.1: They did not have a treble control, just a bass knob and I did adjust that one when listening to it. Might take a look at the Boss speakers. If you have any more opinions, keep them coming. Sill researching a ton right now.

I took a look at the Klipsch 2.1 system just now at Best Buy. Sounded like the highs overpowered the lows a little too much, but that was just a floor model, so I'm not sure how it was set up. Would not having a sub-woofer affect the sound in a noticeably negative way? I've heard good things about the Audioengine speakers, but the lack of a sub makes me wonder if they will be worth getting alone.

I'm looking to replace my blown Logitech speakers. $150 is what I want to spend, but I can go a tiny bit over (closer to $200) if it gets me a lot better quality. I use them for gaming and music mostly (I don't want 5.1 though, since my room/computer isn't set up to place speakers around). I'm not an audiophile in the sense that I know what to look for in sound, but I do appreciate great quality. Any suggestions on what I should be looking at?
