  1. @richieb do y'all have a basement or tornado shelter?
  2. To all our friends in Texas please stay safe and take no chances.
  3. Really not something you ever want to experience. I vividly recall wading through chest deep flood waters at five years old during Hurricane Betsy in New Orleans. In my early teens I recall feeling my parents brick home in Slidell, LA shake on its foundation during Hurricane Camille. Evacuated for Hurrucane Katrina, but personally viewing the widespread damage is something you never forget. As an adult, I made the decision to evacuate our family anytime a hurricane is forecast above a CAT 1. Dtel loves bad weather, but he never argues...we leave.
  4. I will chime in here and say I share the opinion of @CECAA850 and others. Roy definitely hit it out of the park with forte IIIs, no doubt about it. Very natural sounding, effortless, superior voicing, no listening fatigue. You could definitely pick them out of a lineup in blind testing.
  5. Read the warning. It specifically mentions CA and cites a CA law
  6. The warning is specifically for California!
  7. Our donated speakers are NOT special editions, but you do have your choice of finish. We are also offering payment arrangements through Paypal. Anyone interested can contact me here via PM.

  8. I know I left out some of the other work that has been accomplished, as well as purchases that are critical to our infrastructure, such as software, computers, insurance, security/alarm system, wifi service, brochures that are placed in tourist areas, such as the rest area, Old Washington, etc. Also, the plexiglass Khorn is now back in Hope...not sure if it was there for the Pilgrimage. We also acquired some additional artifacts. The museum in now open three days a week.
  9. The Klipsch Heritage Museum Association is pleased to offer one pair of Forte IIIs at 10% off MSRP. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Museum. Your purchase will also entitle you to a Khorn Korps Founder's level membership. Your choice of finish! Comment below or PM me for additional info.

  11. There is a post with all donors and their corresponding membership classification in this section. Also, most if not all of us that attended the four day work week are still in recovery mode from the ninety plus degree temperatures at the Watermelon Festival and the four day work weekend at the museum. The folks that were there working can attest to the sweltering heat which greatly affected everyone. There is also a post detailing the work that was scheduled to be done during the Volunteer Work Week. For the most part, all goals were met or exceeded prior to and during that four day work weekend. Trailer painted Steam pipes contributing to foooding of basement sealed Previous non operational central air unit removed from outside of building Gutters repaired/painted in rear section of museum. Extensions put on downspouts to direct water away from building. Low section in driveway partially filled to redirect water away from stairwell Old awning over pre existing air conditioning removed New aluminum awning purchased installed the length of the building, in the north side of the building covering the stairwell. Second window air conditioning unit purchased and installed Bathroom in museum repaired and fully operational New sump pump purchased and installed 60 yards of fill soil delivered, tractor rented, 30 yards spread to improve grade around building before rain set in Basement partially cleaned out and trash hauled off. Industrial shelving moved into basement All of this plus more was accomplished. As stated before a huge shout out to @ssh, @guywithwine, @hogwylde09, @pappyIII, @Ole Dollar, @kharmondds, @JRH, @dtel and @Chief bonehead for all the help. @guywithwine and @Ole Dollar singlehandedly took care of the Watermelon Festival Booth, with @JRH assisting with set up and pick up each day. To the rest of you, y'all rocked that four day work weekend. Pics to follow. In addition, there is an telephonic Executive Committee meeting two to three times a month to determine the direction the Museum is heading. These meeting generally consist of Jim Hunter, Curator/president, Kevin Harmon, Vice President, myself, Secretary, Stacey Atchison, Treasurer/CPA, Seti, Board Member, Richard Groves and Travis Williamson, legal counsel. These meeting generally last close to two hours. Additionally, our Board of Directors meet several times a year with our next Board Meeting scheduled for October. I can assure you this noble effort has direction. Perks for Founding Members are finally being processed, new membership classes are being established, our website is nearly populated, grants have been applied for, social media outlets are being utilized, we are in the early stages of establishing a building fund, our Treasurer/CPA is in the preliminary stages of preparing our 990 return for the IRS.
  12. @hogwylde09 thank you for all your help. We could not have gotten so much accomplished without all of you.
  13. @ssh @pappy@Ole Dollar and others that I can't remember their forum names....you guys are the best. More updates coming.
  14. We would like to thank both the seller and the purchaser for their support of the Klipsch Museum of Audio History. You guys are the best. Christy Luquet Secretary Chairman of Membership Services Klipsch Heritage Museum Association.
  15. Your participation is greatly appreciated! @Ole Dollar
  16. Too bad this didn't work out like that. Everyone loses in a situation like this, including innocent bystanders.
  17. Please add all moderators to the PM if you are so inclined. @CECAA850
  18. PLEASE keep the animosity off this forum. Somebody needs to be a grown up.
