I own the 83-SE and it sounds great. Only issue is I have to keep a disc in the tray so it will open. If I ship it to OPPO they will repair it for $99. Have you had any issues with your tray ?
How does the sound compare between the 205 and 83 ?

He sounded like he was setting the record straight, not defending his actions.
Glad to hear you are done Freddie.
OK What do you mean by "Freddie" couldn't let it go...

There were no benefits when I joined and I didn’t use it for a tax deduction but you just keep on thinking the worst about things if it makes you feel better.
Atta boy... Again just calling it as I see it..... sorry you feel you have to defend your actions. Done

Well that thought never entered my mind when I choose to support the museum and I really doubt anyone else who has did either..!!!!
I have to agree with richieb that would be a “very shallow and uninformed reason” to join in support of the museum and to basically insinuate that is happening is uncalled for and insulting to the museum supporters.

Your membership is tax deductible, and there are a lot of nice benefits.
Sorry... just trying to fit in...
Now we should probably stop....

--- we can continue in the open, keep it civil and its nothing more than opinions on what the "membership" is about. With many trips to Hope and the Pilgramage, owning many Klipsch speakers beginning in the early 70's and looking at several as I write, my wife and thought we should support the Museum as Founding Members and in its honor PWK. We didn't do this with expectations that the Museum would unearth the list of speakers being discussed. Or being called on the Klipsch Founders Member Hot line with special deals on Khorns, Jubilees, etc. I have those anyway. Or any other "spiffs" associated with the donation. So your "join with the promise of future rewards" is a bit shallow and uninformed. But with this being said I do appreciate the Klipsch corporate jet making a stop from Indy and letting us hitch a ride to Hope. Oops, got to go, the Klipsch Hot Line is ringing ---
Fine with me as long as we do not offend anyone....
"Your membership is tax deductible, and there are a lot of nice benefits. " How is this shallow ???
I also have a few Klipsch products.... Jubilees, Belles (with Martenlli horns), RF-7's RB-75's RSW-15's and some smaller stuff. My wife has had an issue with this place and is still not very happy, so if I were to join I might be in need of a lawyer soon.....

I don't see any "insiders click" with the museum and I have no doubt they would love to see much more participation from forum members as well as those outside the forum.
What I see is the museum needs supporters and in thanks they are trying to recognize and thank those supporters and encourage others to join and not just be bystanders if you care about what they are trying to accomplish then please help them any way you can.
Bottom line for me is the museum is about PWK and his life and accomplishments and is for those who want to see this preserved.
miketn
Great... that is your bottom line.... mine is mine. Maybe I should use another term but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck welllllll..........
My bottom line is I can not see the value in paying to "join" for a "promise" of future rewards, deals. No problem just my thoughts. we all have our own.
We probably should not continue this in an open forum else it might get deleted or we might get warnings.

Travis,
Thank you for the answer, but I belonged to other groups that wanted money to have the honor of spending more and be part of the insiders click and I declined. I don't even join Costco, Sam's etc.... To me it does not make sense to have to pay to be able to spend more. Especially not knowing what the "deal" might be. Also with the experience my wife had on the forum I would be spending alot more.
Thanks Again

For @whatever55 or anyone else interested in a Oppo BDP-105D
Option 1: my friend in Atlanta (known, ate, partied and traded with for 10+ years) has one for sale: $800 net plus shipping
1) purchased last month from Magnolia Design Center as a CD demo unit on one of their McIntosh systems
-has 4 year transferable Magnolia warranty (the transfer and warranty works, I can testify)
-has factory remote and power cord, no manual
-he has ordered box (no markings) from Oppo, shipping tomorrow
-he has ordered wireless dongle recommended by Oppo from Amazon
-he will pack in factory supplied box and overbox then ship at cost including overbox cost; again $800 net
-I did not think to ask about firmware version; I will text now to ask
-he assures the unit is absolutely mar free
Option 2: my -105D purchased when they came out for $800 net plus shipping. If you want it over boxed, you pay. I get a small UPS discount
- factory box, manual, power cord, remote, wireless dongle...whatever it came with I have- perfect condition and has latest service firmware
Interested in mine let me know.Interested in Greg's let me know and I will give you his contact number (he is a non-klipsch guy sooooooooo)
Thank for the kind offer, but I will have to pass. I have an 83SE which has some problems and OPPO does not have the part or will tell me where I can purchase it so with that I do not want to take another chance...... I will be looking for something else.
Thanks again

@whatever55 I have a good friend who purchased a 105D from Magnolia last month. Demo with no box or wireless dongle. Also has 4 year transferrable warranty from Magnolia. He used it for cds and then bought a 205. He is calling Oppo today to see if box is available. Final price depends on box availability. Interested?
Can you ask him how the 105D compares to the 205 audio wise please. Did he go to the 205 for the 4K features ?
Thanks

I will buy it
You know you want the 205
