Hey Timmy, what's up young man? I can't say why some of these guys are razzing you so badly, I apologize. CONGRATULATIONS! I am a bit envious, the best I ever did at thrifts was a $50.00 pair of Heresies. You did very, very well as I am sure you already know What types of music do you enjoy? Enjoy your new treasure! All the best

They're local, so no shipping. The guy's asking $250.00 firm.

I've looked around a bit and found some ball park figures. Could you guys please comment on the maximum one should pay for KG4s? The pair in question is absolutely perfect except for a wee bit of scuffing on the edge of one of the grilles. Thanks in advance!

No, she is not a bouncer. And I quote: "My job is to monitor the forum to make sure it best represents Klipsch. I'm not here out of enjoyment, to learn about audio, or to make friends--I can't just leave when I don't like what's going on. My job is to fix it. The difference is huge."

What on earth does owning Klipsch speakers before I was born have to do with anything? That's gives you license to offend? AGAIN, you have no idea what you're are talking about. The offensive threads in question are gone, as are the new people who were simply looking for help. End of story. OFFENSIVE TO WHOM? DEEMED OFFENSIVE BY WHOM? PLEASE, HELP ME UNDERSTAND! Y'ALL KNOW I'M JUST A DUMB OLE HILLBILLY AS POINTED OUT BY ANOTHER LOVING, NON-OFFENSIVE FORUM MEMBER

" My job is to monitor the forum to make sure it best represents Klipsch. I'm not here out of enjoyment, to learn about audio, or to make friends--I can't just leave when I don't like what's going on. My job is to fix it. The difference is huge. "

Are the posters like the one with the vulgar reference to fellatio in the Diana Krall thread banned? Are they good representatives of the image Klipsch wants to project? Must be, because the genitals, bodily functons, sexual comments, drinking etc. etc. etc. seldom seem to raise an eyebrow. Depravity and profanity seem to go unchecked here. Selected offenders and offended, as well as I can tell. As long as everybody's happy, filth is fine.

Not sure I understand your question.

Wow. I'm not sure how to react to being compared to Hitler. I think I'll need to step away for a minute to avoid a knee-jerk reaction. Ms. Unger, I did not compare you to Hitler, just your statement. Read what you wrote as if it were written by someone else, in the context of a discussion on censorship, or the Patriot Act or whatever you wish.

What in the hell are you folks talking about? It's AUDIO and it's primarily being discussed by MEN, or at least I thought so. Wanna talk football, politics or what brand of beer is the best? Then a whole lot more people could be banned. Political correctness and the feminizing of American men has become ridiculous. I guess the 95% I keep hearing about are all "metrosexuals" and pose no threat. This thread is a joke, right?

" I however, will not put up with it, and shouldn't have to put up with it. I am here to do a job, not make friends (although it's a nice bonus)" That's a VERY Hitlerian position for one to assume. Quite troubling to hear speech like that in America on a forum that's commercially driven and open to the public.

"Ol Art" as you call him is a scumbag. He pumped for long term renewals of his rag "Listener" right up until about a month before he closed the doors on it. I personally re-upped for a 3-year renewal and got "The Audiophile Voice" instead. That may be standard practice in the magazine business, but it still doesn't make it right or ethical. Decisions like that are not made that close to the end AND "The Audiophile Voice" arrived right on cue when it should have been "Listener". Bait and switch, plain and simple. Use the cash to pay off creditors or whatever. Gene Pitts is a damn nice guy who means well, but the best thing about "The Audiophile Voice" is the cover art, and that's about it. To top it all off, as you all know, he (f'Art) takes the gig spewing his liberal crap over at "Stereophool" with all the other English majors. Why then you might ask, did you subscribe to "Listener" in the first place, considering how you feel about f'Art and his little bunnies. Because it was a damn good rag, despite f"Art Dudley being at the helm.

Tried to PM you several times this morning, doesn't seem to be working, I also sent you an email through the forum, maybe they were unable to do that too. I recently re-did a pair that I promise you were as bad or worse than yours. Dirt, grime, purple staining from wine or grape juice and even pet urine. Mine were raw Birch as well. They can be cleaned without going through the top ply. If you would like a meaningful attempt to answer your question, short of going to a cabinet shop or having them re-veneered, PM me. I'd be happy to tell you what I know.

I'm in California, if that helps.
