It’s Voxx International, and they approved the transfer, by Klipsch, of the land, building, artifacts and archives to the Museum, an Arkansas non-profit and recognized 501(c)(3) entity. It has an independent board of trustees, nearly every member personally knew PWK. The mission, support STEaM through the teachings and examples of PWK. Voxx’s wholly owned subsidiary, Klipsch, continues to support the Museum every year, without fail, in substantial amounts, in numerous ways. Other legends in audio, Fisher, Marantz, AR, Bose, Lansing/JBL, I’m sure do the same . . . Wait, none of them have museums. To our knowledge, the Museum in Hope is the only museum in the US dedicated to consumer audio, particularly the dawn of hi-fi. NMSU has a museum dedicated to PWK, and is open to the public once per year (costs and other shortages caused a pull back). For a great explanation of why Klipsch made this donation back in 2016, with launch in Spring of 2017, see the interview of Klipsch President and CEO, Paul Jacobs on our YouTube channel. It requires a joint effort, local community/City of Hope, major benefactors like Klipsch, but most importantly, members, because they “get it” -what PWK had to teach and consider it to be a national treasurer worth preserving. Thank you for the question. As with any 501(c)(3) all of our tax returns are on line and in the open. Thank you for the question. Travis

How hard did you look? Google Klipsch Discontinued Products and you will get this https://www.klipsch.com/discontinued-products-klipsch Or if you look and don’t find something, I’m sure not everything they ever made is listed, post a thread Need Information About [Product Name] and I would be willing to bet somebody has something. You wanted SW10? https://www.klipsch.com/products/sw-10 Ask, somebody on here will get you where you need to go. Also, use search on here, it may get you additional information. Hope this helped.

Randy, for future reference, and we have all done this somewhere along our audio path, the wattage ratings for speakers in different than for an amplifier. For amps it’s what power they can put out. For speakers it is what amount of power they can take. The speakers are rated to handle 85w continuously, with much, much higher peaks, and above that you will fry your speakers. You will never run them anywhere near that because they are efficient at converting power to sound. Non horn speakers might have a rating of something like 88dB at 1 W. With these speakers, they have a sensitivity rating of 95 dB measured at 1 meter with one (1) watt of power. If you double the power you will get a 3dB rise in output, so 2w 98 dB, 4w 101 dB, etc., Your receiver/amp will be able to handle them easily.

It is a little confusing. Note: Each AW-650 speaker will require a designated channel on the amplifier and cannot be wired in parallel. (See Image Below) What they mean by that is hook one to your left channel and one to your right channel. Sometimes people get more than two and try to hook up more that one speaker to one Chanel and they have major problems. Use 12 ga speaker wire. Any will do. If you are running in yard or if not in a protected area you may want to get some Belden speaker, 2 wires in an insulated cover - designed for in ground. those are great speakers. This is the commercial version

Do you have a recipe or a link to one?

Yes please score a recipie

You will want to post some pictures, lots of pictures, Including the labels on the back which will help us identify the model, year and finish, all of which impact price considerably. We have lots of members up there. Travis

Klipsch Heresy IV. Do you want smaller than that?

Welcome to the Forum!

I would love to see it happen, regardless of who did it. it just would be so difficult to do.

Who would set up the double blind tests of the 3 models? Or even two models - UG and Heritage? Klipsch isn’t going to do it, compare a new speaker to one that is discontinued. You might be able to set it up with one speaker of each (mono) but it would be pretty much physically impossible to compare DBT in stereo. You have to be able to switch between each speaker in 4 seconds or less to be of any significance in blind testing.

He hasn’t been on since Monday, I’m sure he will be popping in soon.

English is great, no worries. Do you listen to any particular type of music?

Welcome to the Forum, lot of knowledgeable people here to answer this.

@JRH and @Cathy Bell I sent both of you an email regarding Cathy’s post above. I also moved the 10year old thread from 2 Channel to this Museum Section so the Wonderful Music Box and Bill Bell history can be in the proper location. Travis

I sent you an email, with a copy to the Museum Curator (who knew of your father quite well. In fact, he may be able to copy some things for you that might be of interest. Thank you so much for reaching out. Travis Trustee Klipsch Heritage Museum Association

Oh, I’m in Texas, went to the ad so I could go out there today to scoop these out from under all of you guys for $500. They are in El Paso, only 8.5 hours away. With respect to Texas, helps to narrow it down a little. So, these are still up for grabs for all of you El Paso/New Mexico members.

I moved it. I don’t really care how long people have been on eBay, Audiogon, Craigslist, or any other peddler market, Garage Sale is for active members selling their own stuff with a very clear set of terms of service so that it can continue to exist and avoid headaches for Klipsch. Thus, the reasoning (my assumption) the Alerts section was created a long, long time ago, to ALERT forum members about a “smoking deal” they are not affiliated with, or something they have for sale on another platform that they are affiliated with. This avoids any confusion as to whether the poster is associated with the item or not. Members should not take offense if another member suggests moving a thread to something more appropriate, they typically doing so to help get the thread the most visibility, I.e., achieve the goal of the original poster. Reminder, if any Forum member realizes they have posted something in the wrong section (or there might be a more appropriate section) you can easily request a moderator to move it for you by: 1. Reporting the post. Go to 3 dots in upper right, hit report, pick a reason, in explanation, comment section just say, “can you please move this to (name of other section)” and a moderator will take a look and do it. 2. Send me a PM

Did not know that. What is a bush dance? Seems like they are dancing fools down under.

Klipsch has one, I think for possibly testing finished speakers off the line, I heard it was sitting in a corner - the test parameters made it sort of useless (required securing speakers to floor IIRC)

I’m sure those are long gone

Hello, welcome to the Forum, please start a new thread regarding maintenance questions and ideas. Modification/DIY discussions are not appropriate in this Forum and should be posted in Forums associated with those discussions like DIY Audio, or Audio Kharms . Thank you

Far and away the best and most upscale mud kitchens in the history of mud kitchens.
