Prices are $899, $599 and $399 respectively.

The five identical satellite speakers in the HD 1000 feature dual 2.5-inch fiber composite woofers and a MicroTractrix Horn-loaded 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter inside ABS shells. They’re finished in high-gloss black and are 8.6-inches tall. They also come with ¼-20 inserts for wall mount or stand attachment.
The subwoofer comes in a black pica vinyl finish and features a bass-reflex design with a front-firing slot port. It employs a 10-inch fiber composite driver and digital hybrid subwoofer amplifier, while also featuring traditional volume, crossover and phase controls.
The Klipsch HD Theater 1000 will be available this month at a retail price of $899.99.

I currently use the Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 system. I’m very interested in the HD 500 system and your critique has made my decision to purchase this system all but done.
I also use the Klipsch ProMedia DD-5.1 pre amp. How would this system be connected to my computer? Would I need an amp/pre-amp and eliminate my sound card? What power are the sats rated for?
