Trey Cannon

Picky, I would love to come visit. I don't know that I could make it ...those darn MI lefts mess me up. For this site, for the festival, for life we all have to work together. When you get a chance to work, enjoy music and life with folks like the ones we have here on this site, Life is just a little easier. Thanks

Not one of my best looking shots. I had been on site for about 38-39 hours at that point, short 2 hours for clean up time. Thanks for posting Jay. I don't have many shots of me.

I wanted to take a minuet to thank each and everyone that helped me and put up with me. Lord knows that's not easy. I have made some very good friends here and some of the best people I have ever met. Each time I have been a part of this event people come from everywhere to help. They come from here at klipsch and from our extended family on the forum. I don't take praise or gifts very well. I prefer to give than receive. My gifts come from the joy others get from what I do. So to hear all of you share how much you enjoyed the event really touches me. The gift that Christy made and many of you signed will have its place on my wall. Thank you so much for taking the time to do such a thing for me. I would ask that any of you that have pictures of the event of any kind let me know. We will find a way for you to get them to us, if you are willing to share. Thanks again for being a part of our extended family. Trey

Can you say HEADROOM?

Ok, lets see if I can remember all the questions...you know Mike If you would have come with us you would not have so many questions. Amps: the pic Doc took was before I re-wired the racks on Sat morning. I also cleaned up the wires to make sure no LINE IN's were over AC power cords....took care of the hum. 1k to each sub from a 2K amp. so 8k Total to the subs. Doc told about the mains...the 1st rack of amps held the Monitors and 4 subs, the 2nd rack held subs only...most of the amps there were back up. The 3rd rack was back up only and not use. So we use 16k Watts on the FOH and about 4k on Monitors. All FX were at the board. Brian Lee was the sound engineer and did a fantastic job. No feed back at all for the whole show. We ran between 95 and 105 db all day and night. The tent was set up so far away to allow for little to no slap back from the FOH. We had a trailor set up just in front of the tent and it gave a real bad bounce so I am glad I chose to set the tent up that far back. It was also off center to allow for some to be "out of the line of fire" in the case it was to loud for some...it wasn't. the snake was 150 ft and damn heavy. Jerome re-wound the snake the next day to insure it was ok. It was broke out into 3 other snakes for stage hook up. The punch off all thoes 18" woofers was great. It really hit you in the chest. We had the main amps down to about 1/2 volume to give the board unity levels. Can you say head room... I hope there were pic's of the amp racks from later in the night...after I cleaned them up...I want Profesor Thump to be proud.... every act did a great job. We started a bit late due to the live feed not giving video...We did record the whole show using 4 cameras and a video mixer. The local TV station teamed up with the college and shot the whole thing. I hope to have the edited version next week. We recorded the show on a master recorder as well. I hope to get a mastered version in a month or so. Maybe we can mix the two and get a combo pack for sale...DVD & CD I will take pic of the gift I received. It is very nice, well done and lots of cool notes from the gang. Thank you. I have never taken praise very well. I don't do things like this for praise. I do it because I enjoy it. I know I put a lot of work into it but it is all worth it when a show goes off with out a hitch. Good friends and good music = good times for all. I put about 40 pic's up on Facebook but will post them here in the next week or so...( I am on vacation this week) I think my bigest thank you goes to the guys that stayed after the show and helped me move gear to the BSH. If it were not for your help, I would have had to sleep on that stage again. I don't know that I would have made it through the night...I was spent...but thank you to all that attended in any way. We raised over $1500 for chairty, not bad for a last min idea. Every one involved and I mean everyone has ask about next year. The city, Hope PD, a dozen or so places around town want in to help next time...at lest 10 other bands contacted me wanting to play. The event people for other events came to me and wanted to team up their and our event next year. I set out to do one thing...enjoy some live music with friends...I managed much more than that...it was a great team effort. Thank you all for your help in making it a good time.

No you are right... plant tour Friday starts at 2pm plant tours Sat. starts at 8am show starts at 3pm at the fair park.

Looks like I have to stand a tent again....Friday 8am at the park. (IF the weather will let us)

The tours start at 8 am. at the plant. I will be at the Fair park most of the day friday and Sat.

Hey you don't have enough posts to be posting Trey, you missed spell a word in the title..... wasn't the H suppose to be an F? Or are you trying to be PC these days? I thought real Arkansas boy's didn't do the PC thing. As you can read, there are kids in the room. I have to watch what I say.

Be sure to get on the list soon....spots are filling up quick!

OK, to be fair...(which I am not at times) \ I was NOT directing this post at the quoted, only using his post to make some points. It goes out to all the DYI folks. It has been no quite thing that I / we have not supported the DIY folks after we quit making the shorthorn in kit form. In fact we (klipsch) had "words" with speakerlab over just that topic many years ago. Just call and try to buy parts for a DIY project and see what you get from the parts dept. It was not ment as a slam on anyone person. Here is the responce I received... Now he has had his turn and its done. MY point of view / input is in red. Subject: Modders "fix" Mr. Cannon, With all due respect to you and Klipsch, I apologize for a public argument. However, your slam post against me with no chance for rebuttle was a low blow, First point: You all but directly admitted (I freely admit) you had (have) to meet a price point/compromise on parts. The palladium makes no such compromises (no so fast there skippy, all parts make compromises, We could have made the P-line active, removing all analog parts), therefore all else can be improved with better parts. It also begs the question: If the HIII caps measured and sounded the best (with in the price range given to build the network), they should have been used in the palladium. Better parts in the lower lines sounds better (agred, but no one will pay for the better parts from the MFG) - to say otherwise is wrong, or at least intellectually disingenuous. Here is why: Second: YOU KNOW THIS STUFF: I know PWK's attitude. I have been around Klipsch since the 70's. That means I know that in the mid 80's Klipsch took a quantum leap ahead. (PWK was still there and took part in the change of componets, he did not like the plastic horn either. He wanted to use wood but bending the K5J by hand was not happening in mass production) (PWR jr? PWK has not kids...roy was not there, Gary G had a lot to do with that.) They eliminated the metal horns that went off like a faire alarm at certain frequencies with a phenolic that ameliorated this effect. this made Klipsch sound better with more than just smooth tube amps. And again, they changed to titanium instead of phenolic because Ti has a superior performance (True, but only because phenolic cost more and was harder to get, this was not the case when it was first used)....flat out. These changes are MODS with BETTER PARTS (BY THE MFG, WITH TESTING SO WE KNOW WHAT WE WERE PRODUCING). They (PWK Helped!) took a PWK design and IMPROVED IT. There can be no argument for that. The new Klipsch (tractrix) measure better as well. ( It took John P to explain tractrix so PWK could understand the view point, Roy could not put it in the right words and yes Tractrix is better than the Exp. ) So again, all due respect, I understand price points and your defending products. However, if better parts and mods didn't happen, Klipsch would not be as big and popular as they are now. Yes, modders do frequently have a fix. Mods are not done just to spend money, they can and do make a great thing better. Thank you for your time.

First, if anyone can prove that 1.5 ft of wire can make a difference that anyone can hear or measure I will buy the wire and eat my words! Sec. "Those are simple cheap caps", well they may be simple, (most caps are), Cheap (yea, we get them at a good price when buying 100k of the little bugger) that RS sells, (I worked at RS for many years and have not see a mylar cap on the pegboard, but I have not see it all...) Most of our caps are 5% some are 10%. $1 in MFG can turn into $20 MSRP, so yes it does cost less to change a part after you buy it than it does to change them all in production. If you want to kill the low end in a speaker, connect it to a light bulb amp...MHO PWK did stop using LBA's and went to SS amps as soon as he could. They are easier to use, (more protection from shorted leads), more power = more headroom and better to take care of in the lab. (he changed them out at home for a PRO amp) Ask any Eng...all things can improve with enough money and testing. What I want to know is how all the DIY guys know what they have after the "fix"? Do you have a way to prove what you THINK you hear? Do you have any test data (with out the room in the test) that showes less THD or smoother curves? FYI: the only time PWK got mad at me was when I ask him about adding parts to "his" speakers for one of the "DIY" guys from the forum. If it were not for Mrs. K, he would have thrown me out of the house on my ear. He told me " I have worked on that speaker for 50 years, it does not need fixed, now get the hell out of my house". NOW, to the "fight"...all of you need to grow up. There is no need to call eachother names or act like school kids. Agree to dissagree. I will lock this thread now and will chunk any of you that keep it up. No Amy is not hear and I don't play nice like her. I just don't have time for this silly stuff.

Here you will find many version of Tee shirts with the Festival logo. Order NOW! You get to pick your size and style of Tee. You can even get front only or front and back logo. I want to see some shirts at the show! http://www.zazzle.com/KlipschMusicFest

I could get you a closed door showing at Sound Towne in Texarkana....Todd is a good dude and will be gald to see you guys.

No Dee, not special deals this time... sorry

we can run about 150 or so in the 3-4 hours on Sat and maybe 40-50 in the 1.5 hr on Friday. (friday the plant will be live and running)

If you get to T-town I am sure someone can get you to Hope.

the guy that owns the HIE will be doing food for the concert. He has a vested intrest in making you guys happy.

I cant say for sure. When we get down there we will be going through it all and buildings doc's. I don't know that we will put it up before the auction, but we will try. BTW some of the horn molds will sell. not sure which ones.

Sure thing STT. I didn't know you own the place. Congrats...little late. Bruce and family are good people. I enjoyed my time working there. I am not sure we have a dealer logo but I will work with marketing and see if they can make something just for you. With all the gear in the park, I have to stick close to there. Todd, I tried to call today and missed you. I will try again tomorrow. Looks like we will do a 2 ch set up for the Home Demo at the plant.

We have had 70 folks RSVP and have a spot in the tours.
