  1. He has no idea what he is talking about, someone posted “any guess as to price” and he felt compelled to respond and guessed. The group at this event are the only ones who have heard all 4 prototypes. Nothing, absolutely nothing, was discussed in terms of price at the class, so your guess is as good, if not better, as his or anyone else’s.
  2. Here is a link to the featured Reference Track for the SubFest Bonehead Class. Roy was in a quandary, he couldn’t find anything music wise that had a true fundamental in the 15 to 16hZ range. What to do? You call your resident Renaissance Man if you are lucky enough to have one, and KGI/PAC does in fact have one, Matt Sommers. Link to the two cuts which Matt collectively named “Deep Roy” with a description of the musical keys, and lowest fundamental frequency. Enjoy on your favorite system/headphones. If you are wondering why Matt has such a long silent intro on track 2 . . . well I will let those who were there explain it and what the intro does to the listening room couch. Enjoy, courtesy of a true Renaissance Man (in the highest Quattro cento sense of that moniker) https://www.mattsommers.net/deep-roy/
  3. @Chief bonehead would be the guy to ask for XLR I/O for plate amp. He will see this at some point.
  4. I'm pretty sure he went to Michigan. Same place as Gerald R. Ford.
  5. Been sending thoughts your way. Hope things are turning the way you want.
  6. Klipsch Museum Store is Open just in time for the Holidays. Shirts, hoodies, mugs, posters. https://www.klipschmuseum.org/store?fbclid=IwAR0psciRGoqSFbSrvwG9qcaQiUJYYrS-DP1dPzzoehLxbkE_AKmImeo7doE
  7. So one stamped, no label? The other no stamp, but label? No matter, post a photo of the label, and stamped S/N, take some photos of the backs, showing the drivers and crossovers. The fact that they are not sequential S/N’s doesn’t have that much significance. If the components match, and in good shape, you will want to restore and enjoy for yourself.
  8. So what I want to know is: Is Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) a thing?
  9. There is probably only one man on the planet @Chief bonehead who can answer that question accurately.
  10. So do I have this right, no evidence, zero, that Head Coach of Michigan was aware of or had any involvement in sign-stealing scandal. However, because he is "the face" of the program they are going to keep him off the field on game days going into the biggest game of the season. This demands a Senate Investigation, (Gary Peters is on Commerce I think, it's their jurisdiction). Is he allowed to Zoom? Or does that go against the spirit of this whole thing? Maybe put him in the mascot suit and have the Mascot hanging around behind the bench a whole lot.
  11. Here is a link to the Klipsch Support Page Re: Heritage Crossover updates, repairs, etc. https://support.klipsch.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036957831
  12. My gosh, the backyard area and stage look like a whole new property. And the stage has corners. Guess will be pissing off the neighbors on a regular basis (Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site, run by the National Park Service (do they still carry guns?). Travis
  13. Thank YOU! I'm on the mend, terribly disappointed I missed it, and Roy's BBQ/fajitas. Mostly was looking forward to seeing people face to face I hadn't seen in a while. I'm really glad you got to make it and enjoyed it. Looking forward to hearing more about it in here, and seeing what we can see, even if it is Roy flipping meats that were soaked in his secret marinade.
  14. Here is @Smitty8451 original question, that's appropriate here, @JohnA gave his impression (above), anyone else who went to this shindig has any thoughts? I know @mark1101 will have some thoughts and for sure Bill H as well. To the folks who attended the sub fest, I have a couple of questions, I’m not sure if there was an NDA for the event but it’s not a matter of if, but when I will be purchasing one if not two of these new subs, so here goes; 1: What size is recommended for the La Scala AL5 2: Are these going to be powered, and if not how will the crossover I am assuming that will be included connect. 3: if a separate amp is required, what power is recommended. i currently run 3 La Scala’s F/C/R and Forte IV’s for surrounds, but usually I just do stereo listning. I do not plan on using these new subs for movie watching (I have Rythmik subs for that) the subs will strictly be used for stereo. thank you in advance (we’re do I sign up for pre-order, yeah I’m that ready) Travis
  15. @Smitty8451 I moved it over to it's own special thread for attendees to post photos, they are allowed to, etc. You are in luck, part of the class, a great deal I am told, was dedicated to comparing at least the 2 largest size Heritage Subs to a par of La Scalas. I'm sure you will be getting more and more feedback on your excellent questions. Travis
  16. Here is the tread for attendees to post photos they are allowed to, provide impressions, what they learned, answer questions, etc.
  17. Again Randy, that ain't it. I tried. They listened to La Scalas (special secret ones that they can't tell you about) with the largest and the second largest. Mr. JohnA was there, he saw all four of them, he listend to all four of them, the largest two with LS. You don't know what you are talking about and the information you are putting is based on information that's months old. This is one of those situations where you might want to be asking questions or seeking clarification rather than spouting facts that are based on assumptions. I have started a thread for those who attended the event to post their impressions and photos (what they were allowed to take).
  18. Four sizes, @billybob, as advertised. From what I understand you are correct. They don't even have names yet. I believe at the class they were referred to (smallest to largest) as 1, 2, 3 and 4. (I could have that backasswards). I have yet to hear someone call them "sm, med. lg, and xl" and I think that was intentional as none of them are "small" They are horn-loaded so they can't be "small" 24 x 24 x24" for example because it defeats the purpose of horn-loaded bass, which is ultra-low (non-existent) FMD and IMD). PWK's life's work, and what earned him an AES Silver Medal wasn't just low "distortion" it was the study of IMD/FMD on the subjective evaluation and preference of loudspeakers. Beers identified it in the 40's, PWK, like all things he dove into, figured out a way to better measure it, isolate it, and minimize it. I believe it's a matter of physics, these guys can talk about it more, the way to smush it down to nothing, per PWK, is to keep that cone from flapping so much. They learned all of this is in the class and I'm sure that will be reporting on this further. I'm hoping we can do a repeat, mini version of this class in March in conjunction with the PWK BDay Bash.
  19. Randy, that man was in Hope for the 2 day class, taught by the man who holds the patent and designed all 4. He sat and he listened to all four of them. He probably felt his eyeballs vibrate when they played the music that had a 16 hZ fundamental. (Music had to be specially composed for this event, fortunately, KGI has a Renaissance Man working for them and this was done). In other words, he knows what he is talking about, respectfully, you don't. You misunderstanding is that there are 4 sizes that are on the drawing board, and that sub is the next to the largest size. So that's the "large" and there is a size up from there. Whatever photos/video is out there are months old, Roy and his team have been moving forward, tweaking, dialing in, adjusting, and if this is like everything else that will continue right up until production. Any of these may end up looking like the prototypes that were brought to Klipsch meetings, and other A/V shows, or they could look completely different.
