Travis In Austin

They sold out of the Limited Edition MCL 905 in two months, probably most to Europe, but who knows. They were $16,000 a pair. They have sold thousands of other co-branded products like Lou Reed ear buds, and they even had some of those left over at the end. It’s hard to measure success of a limited/signature series product by what excess inventory they discount at the end. I think Corey managed to get the last 3 pairs of Forte’s, but who knows how many they made and sold before that? McLaren is a car company that has a racing division (F1 and GT). Their cars sell for $250K up to near 1 million. They make about 4,000 cars a year, by hand. I think they announced their 20,000th car made about 2 years ago. Papaya Orange (did someone call that yellow?) is trademarked (yes you can trademark a color) and is well known to those that travel in those circles. The McLaren dealership I was in had all of the smaller products in stock and on display, I don’t know if that was true everywhere. It is for certain a very exclusive market, and an uber luxury brand.

There ya go. As you say Those are working prototypes but only two of the four. Grandpa and Papa. Momma and Baby are in the flyer (my designations, working titles). Roy and his team have been working on them constantly since then. Travis

Nope, it’s all top secret right now. I had to pry them out of a photo for the banner. I don’t know what we will be able to photograph when we are there.

I think @richieb he was referring to the sponsorship of McLaren by Klipsch, that ended last season.

Yes the Klipsch sponsorship of McLaren, officially ended, the McLaren branded products were launched in the last year of their association. The limited edition (Was it 905s) sold out quickly. What’s on the website is what’s left. Travis

Welcome to the forum, someone will have an answer to this for you.

Spam account, has to be.

Hey DoubleJ, glad to see I’m not the only one who has Doubter Cap syndrome across a wide variety of projects. The publishers and the printing project are separate from the Museum, so I don’t have a way to access any of that information. I would reply to the email (if allowed), or click the email link and send your new address so they can confirm. They are very friendly folks and I’m sure would be happy to answer or get you to the right place. Travs

That’s what I initially thought, but when it comes to the mixing engineer, and to a lesser extent the mastering engineer, there is a debate going on right now as to what if any impact the acoustics of the rooms where this is done (control room of studio, or smaller dedicated mixing room, or even a home studio) and the monitors used result in better/worse overall recordings. Floyd Toole discusses this as part of his Circle of Confusion, in his book and his presentations, and he has been advocating for standards for both room acoustics and studio monitors. However, he says that more research needs to be done. Sean Olive has also written about this, and the topic pops up at AES from time to time as to whether standards would improve the overall quality of recordings. As I say, it’s a matter of debate at AES, the Academy of Recording Sciences and elsewhere as to what, if any impact standards would have.

I worked at Ocean Way in Los Angeles, back when it was Western and United, but the large control room monitors were all Allen Sides’ horn based speakers. What did/does Ocean Way in Nashville have for main and near field monitors?

My money is on one of his kids helped him. Always worked for me.

Let’s go step by step, figure out if it’s an amp/preamp problem which @billybob is checking on with left to right wire switch. If it’s the AMP/Receiver then we can see what the labels/SN say and we can tell him how old and whether they are good to go or if he may want to consider having them rebuilt. Travis

Satisfactory capacitors have always been available from many sources, that’s true. However, the only source for replacement capacitors that have been tested by Klipsch Engineering to insure they meet factory spec, not alter the transfer function, and perform as intended, are from JEM performance if you want the parts and can solder them in yourself or @Deang if you would like him to rebuild your networks with factory approved and tested parts.

Welcome to the forum, it’s sold.

Putting the rest of the schedule that Dirtmud posted above but is cut off.

The first edition was sold on a Kickstarter crowdsourcing platform, and so is most analogous to a “preorder only” situation. However, the Museum obtained some extra copies and there may be a few extra copies when order arrives in the US we can purchase. We will make the details available, pricing, etc. when we know. Thanks, Travis

Looks great!

Who would be the person who would know about CD player/transport for 5,6,7 etc. ? I would thing it would be pretty seedless. Do the have built in DACs with toslink inputs?

I don’t have experience with those, where are you located? We can probably get you the answers. I can split your question off into another thread where it will have more visibility if you like? Travis

You have troble getting into, resoring your account?

Sorry to hear that

Generally, everyone should try and get into Hope by late Friday afternoon. Roy is furnishing dinner Friday evening for everyone at the Visitor’s Center, socializing and music there until 10 ish. Then all day on Saturday between the lab, auditorium and Visitor’s Center.

Thanks for asking @MMurg, it’s going out this afternoon to current sustaining level members this afternoon (which you are one). We will give Sustaining levels members the long weekend to register, and then I publicly post it on Tuesday here and on social media. Travis

Everybody come out okay?
