    I find this whole Jubes discussion fascinating.  The Jubes are spoken of with almost reverential respect by those who have them.

     

    We all know Klipsch sells speakers to make money, so there must be a reason why these are not readily available.  Please correct me if I am wrong.  They certainly have a golden reputation by those who have them.

    They are available. Contact @MetropolisLakeOutfitters to order.

    "Hey hey, yes HOPE!  

    I am hoping (bad pun) to have advanced listenable samples at CES.  And start production not too long after that.  

    We had so many projects and needed to prioritize certain ones ahead of others.  So even though my weak heart ❤️ had flutters for the Fifteens, I had to delay a bit.  If all goes to plan, there will be the Fifteens and another surprise (also made in Hope) at CES.  We are almost finished with the industrial design of something we think Klipsch fans will love from my biz unit that will also be made in Hope.  

    I truly want to make more in Hope.  Maybe someday even a Headphone 🎧"

    I was googling for news on the Fifteens and stumbled on to this old thread. I love all the insight you gave into their development. I'm curious though if a decision was ever made on where they would be built? Also, any updates on the expected release date? I seem to recall fourth quarter being mentioned at CES, but know those things have a way of changing. I've just been kind of torn between getting the Sixes now or waiting on the Fifteens to be released. 

    Last I heard they were going to be made in Hope, AR, unless that's changed. As far as a release date, maybe @Jainbaby can verify.

    Just a simple question raised during my second round of coffee, the last of the bag of Donut Store Blend from Aldi.  While not accusing anyone of heavy handedness, the locking does give the appearance of heavy handedness.

    Take it up with Chad via PM he locked them.

    Travis,

     

    The photos have been on the website of the authorized Klipsch distributor in Germany for years.  They are there at this moment.

     

    https://www.klipsch-direct.de/Klipsch-Hotties.html

     

    The photos have been posted in this forum many times without as much as a whimper.  To suddenly censor them from this thread with the implication they are inappropriate, while Klipsch allows them to remain on an authorized distributor's website, a form of advertising, is hypocritical.  To suggest that "of course" Klipsch would not use such photos as advertising is disingenuous, at best.

     

    I didn't post them, so I care not whether they stay or go, but hypocrisy and censorship are always troubling.  PWK had an irreverent sense of humor.   He would not be amused.

    I would respectfully request that we not continue pursuing discussions on this topic. We can follow up with Chad on the subject and discuss it further after that time.

    But not why it wasn't removed from other threads on this forum.

     

    Subjective.

     

    Not sure what other threads you are referring to. I did find a thread back in 2012 that had a link to those yellow shirt photos. I did not see any pictures in this thread of entirely nude women. I did see one picture in here that was a more revealing than what I considered to be acceptable.

    Here's the deal.  The entire thread was hidden by another moderator.  That moderator wanted the opinions of the other moderators on whether the pictures were appropriate or not.  I contacted @Chad, he requested I hide the pictures in question until such time as he can review them later today.  He will make the final judgment call on the pictures.

    So you ordered and picked up direct from the factory?  Nice.

    @jimjimbo one of the ways Klipsch Group, Inc. supports the Klipsch Heritage Museum Association is to donate products to the Museum that we can offer for sale exclusively to our members at a considerable savings. 

     

    Steve And Pappy each purchased one of the combo packages we offered. 

     

    We will soon be offering several other levels of membership   We anticipate this reward alone will encourage others to join.

    Hurricane Harvey 2017

    I have an alternate route to get to work but it will pretty much double my commute.  Unfortunately there's several bridges that way too.  Fingers crossed the none of those collapse.

    This is one of the major issues relief help, workers and citizens of this area encountered after Katina. The north and south shores of Lake Pontchatrain were cut off, except for one route. That route was flooded for over four weeks, as were the communities they connected. That being said, once the foooding began receding work actively begun on repairs to at least one of the bridges almost immediately. 

     

    If we don't know history we will surely repeat it. In cases of natural disasters there are always lessons to be learned. A few questions everyone should ask themselvesc is "Can we mitigate our losses during this event. Should we evacuate?  We have a back up plan?", not necessarily in that order. That should just be the beginning of the process for most individuals, especially in areas prone to certain tropes of natural disasters. 

     

    There are differences between the damage impacts on communities of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Katrina, but there is also a lot of commonality. I'm hopeful that some of lessons we learned before, during and after Hurricane Katrina were implemented by our community leaders when Hurricane Harvey was first expected to impact a major metropolitan area.
