(KHMA) which operates the Klipsch Museum of Audio History recently received a generous donation of Klipsch speakers they had in excess inventory. These speakers were used as “demo” speakers from trade shows, speaker demonstrations and tested in installations. When they were returned to Klipsch in Hope, Arkansas they were all tested at the factory by the head of Quality Assurance and determined to be in excellent working order. The KHMA has decided to use these speakers to encourage people to join KHMA by initially offering them only to MEMBERS of the KHMA, and . . . As a special “thank you” YOU, our Members The Officers of KHMA wanted this be an additional benefit to show our thanks to all of YOU for stepping up first and in a substantial way.

Now for the speakers. The Thanks “UP-FRONT” Kevin Harmon, KHMA Trustee and Khorn Corps member, personally inspected all of these speakers and they were photographed by Khorn Corps Member Elden Luquet, husband of KHMA Trustee and Secretary, Christy Luquet. Kevin, as many of you know, has bought and sold a lot of Klipsch Professional, KPT and KI speakers over the years. Bill Hendrix supplied a wealth of information on these speakers. He has owned practically every KPT and KI product we are offering for sale, as well as used them to set up sound for his church and other settings. A tremendous shout of thanks to Jim Hunter for picking up these speakers from KGI and taking them to our new annex building out near the airport. Finally, thanks to Chief Bonehead, Trustee Roy Delgado, Jr., for suggesting to KGI they donate these speakers in the first place, filling in some technical information here and there, AND, agreeing to sign the Chief Bonehead Heresy’s.

Beautiful! You might might want to consider donating it to the Klipsch Museum of Audio History in Hope where it would be preserved and cared for. Future generations would have the opportunity to see and hear what has delighted your family for nearly 65 years. We could work with you on the background story 9fnthe speaker so that the story of your grandfather was part of the display along with your donation. Klipsch donated the land, building and Paul Klipsch's audio museum to the Klipsch Heritage Museum Association, Inc., last year. We are a IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit which would make your donation tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed. We have had two set of very rare speakers donated to the Museum in the last six months with backgrounds very similar backgrounds as your speaker. A grandfather purchased them, or was a dealer, etc. The Curator of the Museum, Jim Hunter, was able to dig up paperwork or log entries on these other early examples. Everyone's situation is different but I wanted to put this out there as a possible option. You can PM me for more information and I can put you in touch with Jim. Travis

It's all NASA when it comes to VTVL. First non-testerial VTVL, first testerial VTVL. In 2003 they can up with the Centenial Challenges (prizes) which included VTV vehicles. A vehicle to lift rocks off Mars and link up with spaceship to fly back to earth and the Lunar Lander X Prize. NASA funds and organizes all of this. Delta-XA was all NASA, and they were ready to go into X-33 with Lockheed, MD or Rockwell , 2/3 NASA and 1/3 private for first commercial spaceflight. Lockheed got picked, but it never got finished. Here is info graphic from Space.com on VTVL/reusable launchers by NASA. VTVL goes way, way back for NASA.

Um no again, not the plan of record, and he was lagging behind Blue Origin, and he is a quarter of a century behind NASA. NASA had first VTVL vehicle, it's called the LEM. Landed our men on moon, brought them back to Command module. Reusable spacecraft was the goal and objective of NASA since the 70s. They funded the DC-XA. Over a dozen successful take offs and landings from earth in the 90s. Here is a clip A.photo below. That's almost 25 years ago NASA spearheaded a project with McDonald Douglas. That's White Sands. Some of the engineers from this project went to Blue Origin. 2010 NASA funds the suborbital Resuable Launch Vehicle project, Blue Origin is one of three selected. Blue Origin was the first to successfully land a booster rocket (New Shepard) for reuse.

There was one 20 years ago, there was confusion between using pounds of thrust vs Newton's. It cost about 100 million but it didn't splat on anything, it burned up in the atmosphere. It simply got closer than it was supposed. It wasn't supposed to land, it was an orbiter.

Iw havenn an had tim rereading what ur written @thebes

They range from Houston to Rockport. They are in the Hill Country. This pair comes back every year, nine miles East of Llano.

Your on the Klipsch Forum, there is a difference. Klipsch employees don't read this stuff unless you give them a heads up like this @Chad. But they are very busy. Is someone really interested in buying.something? If they are I will take the time and find out for sure what is up. Travis

Parachutes in the Mojavi Desert. He is trying to catch and use the fairing pieces now, on a boat with a giant net. I think if you look at the design proposals going way back where his design was selected, NASA did want, and approved demanding the boosters on land because this is what will necessary to go to Mars.

That was great!

And the hits just keep on coming for Tesla. Their bonds and stock are tanking as well. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-crash/tesla-says-crashed-vehicle-had-been-on-autopilot-prior-to-accident-idUSKBN1H7023

So how is that going? Where is your theater going to be built?

Klipsch employee Craig Campbell. Navy veteran! https://www.military.com/undertheradar/2017/10/vets-tech-craig-campbell-klipsch-audio

From Audio, an interview of O. Gadfly Hurtz Audio: What should a speaker do in order to he popular with the general public Are most buyers looking for accuracy of reproduction Klipsch: First off, I don't even consider myself a member of the general public. I know that my own requirements in a loudspeaker are those I've discussed. Judging from what contact I have with the general public, though, I conclude that 99 percent of the general public doesn't even know what accuracy of reproduction is. My company is for the one percent composed of perfectionists who buy these expensive speakers. audio: How do you react to the statements by some audio enthusiasts that all horn-type speakers have intrinsic coloration - a particular sonic character, as it were that is inherently unnatural sounding Klipsch: Many years ago I recall reading an article about the retirement of David Sarnoff as the Chairman of the Board] of RCA. He was reminiscing in the story about one of the earliest electric phonographs, developed by Victor just after it had been acquired by RCA, It sounded miles better than the phonographs of the day, but Sarnoff remembers someone in marketing listening to it and saying "I don't think it will sell; it doesn't sound like a phonograph." There's a good point there: Many people would prefer that a music-reproduction system sound like a machine, rather than like music. If you take any kind of speakerhorn or direct radiator - lop off the lows below 300 Hz, attenuate the up-per treble, and inject some scratchiness, people will say "it sounds like a horn." That's because it has a restricted frequency range; it would be like using one of our Klipschorns with only the' midrange driver connected. It would sound like a Twenties phonograph. The point I'm making is that so-called horn coloration is a function of the frequency response. A wide-range horn, like any of the speakers we make, will have no substantial coloration. You can make any horn sound like any direct radiator, if they both have wide, flat frequency response. But the horn will always sound cleaner because it will always have higher output for lower distortion. That's why I'm in the business of making horn speakers.

Rest in peace Mr. Vinney

That looks great!

They track people like you with drones.

Yes they have and do. They did exclusively have Aelger supply their movements starting in early 20th century, then they bought part of it, and then they bought all of it including the factory but let that family run it, now it's all done by Rolex. I don't think they ever "jeweled up" anything. They specified and patented their movements and had Aegler make them (exclusively) under strict quality controls. The Submariner started out as 26 Jewel when it came out in the 50s I think, but is now 31. That movement was designed all in-house at Rolex. The Director was an avid diver. In the 60s the USA had a tariff, there's that word, on imported watches with more than 20 jewels. So Rolex, like a lot of Swiss companies, created a "tariff buster" 17 Jewel watch, but that was the Oyster I believe, I don't think they did that for the Sub. When the tariff went away the movements went back with more jewels, and they moved the 17.jewel to a different line, like the Tudor. I got all of this info from a tour, many, many years ago, I think what they were telling was pretty accurate, but who knows. I agree, it IS the movement, and that 3135 31 jewel movement, from what I have heard, is pretty highly regarded.

I don't know near as much about this stuff as Andy does, but Swatch does own ETA, and ETA makes many, many different grades of movements. I would think Omega would use their better grades. Can't speak for their customer service, repairs. Travis

That may be true, but not in the case of Rolex. They started with Aegler, purchased a part of Aegler in the early 20th century, then bought all of it and let that family continue to run It, now it's all under Rolex. Rolex is fully vertically integrated, they have their own foundry, they make their own gold alloys, cases, movements, everything except, if I recall from the tour, the hands. Watch hands are apparently a real ***** to make.

A lot of professional divers I know swear by the Casio G

Send me the list, please. Travis

I'm not a cowboy either, but wear Lucchesse during the week, always with a suit and tie. Hand made in the USA.
