Hi Adam!
-> Regarding Klipchorns or however they're spelled, :)  I knew that
-> they were incredibly powerful.  I was wondering if the myth I heard
-> had some backing behind it, which it seems to have (regarding pieces
-> of ceiling falling on desks).  It would be interesting if they had a
-> small home use model but I would seriously doubt it. ;]
Actually, because most of the Klipsch line is based upon horns, one of
the most efficient acoustical coupling devices known to man, they only
required about 30 watts to get full volume. The secret to the tremendous
bass was that it used the corners of the room they were placed in  as
the final flare of a large folded horn, and that's the reason way they
seemed to go down nearly to DC in frequency response. They don't of
course, but until recently in some concert arrays, I've never heard
anything that could match this clean punchy bass.
Now as far as other speakers they make, they have a considerable line of
products, from home stereo/theatre to pro sound equipment. I use a pair
of their 250 pro audio sound reinforcement speakers right now in my
studio, tried them to see how they would sound and they've been there
for about 4 years now.
In my case, the 250A's are about 3dB down at 120Hz, so I have a subs set
up currently in stereo mode (18" Gauss in about 4 cuft cabinets) that
fill in the bottom end. I don't run them like most would suggest that
subs should be run. I set them up with about an 80Hz crossover, so that
the hign end of the slope would make a fairly smooth transition into the
Klipsch on top, and run them in stereo placed directly below each
main speaker. This is what sounded best during the tweak stage.
Living in an apartment, I also have a night mode, where the subs go off,
and I slip in a low pass filter into  each channel to boost the bottom
response some, but not those frequencies so low as to disturb my
neighbors.
You were originally asking about speakers for computers... my
recommendation is to use some good bookshelf speakers and leave those
that are "computer speakers" for those that have no ears and unlimited
pocketbooks.
