Poor things.... Glad they're out of that speaker jail.

Sans Risers... Did Klipsch offer that option to save $12?

oh dear. oh dear.

Sans risers...

Hi, what is the finish on these? Walnut Oil, Oak Oil, Oak Clear, Finished Black?

Wow, lookin good there. I will say that my KG-3.5s sound absolutely amazing for their size and 2 way small driver/ small horn. Very balanced, whereas the KG-5.5's are a bit bass heavy, but that's probably due to my room being too small for them. These are a steal for $200. Wait, are they stolen? just kidding man, good luck with sale and I really hope the buyer gets as much amazement from them as I get from mine.

Jim, curious if those counts are single loudspeakers or pairs?

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, get that damn Salt Block OFF of that speaker!!!!!!! If you ever turn the light off, those stupid things will condense water out of humid air and drip down onto the speaker. The light keeps them warm and above the dewpoint, but if they are off and conditions are right, they will attract water and drip. Its as terrible of a situation as having a potted plant on a speaker.

I picked up a pair of Chorus II that have Crites Crossovers and did not come with the originals that were removed. I want to hear what the originals sound like. Does anyone have their old unmodified Chorus II stock networks laying around? Let me know. Thanks

Standard wma files are lossy like mp3s, and can be encoded at various bitrates like mp3s. If you rip the CD to wma lossless, that is equivalent in sound quality to the wav and the original cd. Lossless is what you want. Wav or flac. FLAC just takes up less storage space. Wma lossless is fine too, just has less equipment it can play on.

Bought, thanks.

Nice upgrade, thanks to the Klipsch crew for working so hard on it for us.

Thanks for the great pilgrimage Klipsch! It was great to see all of the displays and things to tinker with. Wasn't it the author of this thread that won the Heresy III's in the back of conference room A? Again, it was an awesome event and I want to thank all of the Klipsch employees who took their time to entertain us, especially Amy, Mark, Trey and Jim. Some employees that I didn't catch their names were also very helpful and personable, the director of training and the fit and finish designer and many others too. Big thank you to LarryC for broadening our horizons in the world of classical music, many of those composers I hadn't heard of and it was nice of you to take us off the beaten path of Handel and Beethoven etc. Like you, I agree that the video format helps us who aren't familiar with classical to take in more of the performance. I like how you gave us a wide variety of selections, from the first one with the two singers calling and responding, to the thunderstorm with non standard instruments to the very animated conductor. You showed us many of the interesting things that can be observed and enjoyed about classical beyond the music itself. Thanks again for your efforts!

That's great news Glenn! It just wouldn't be the same without you and Verna there.

Great news that the Pilgrimage will be in Indy this year!! (I got a speeding ticket in Arkansas last year [au][:@]) I will be in june 8/9, I'll email you Amy. I would prefer the event to be more forum/pilgrimage specific. It seems to me that the past couple of years, especially 2011, the pilgrimage was an afterthought to the music festival. The first event I went to around 2006 in Indy really felt like it was about welcoming us forumers and showing us why Klipsch is so great. Once the music festival came in and the public was invited, the pilgrimage lost alot of its luster. Maybe I'm just being a selfish brick... What I really want to have an opportunity to do, and have been requesting it for several years, is to be able to listen to the LaScala II's in a proper listening environment (not just out in the parking lot) so I can determine if they're sufficiently improved over the LS I's to warrant a purchase. So I'll separate that out for anyone who's skimming along: Please demo LaScala II's, 2 channel mode. Bonus wishes: Preferably switchable between Cornwall III's and LS II"s. Preferably not in the "dark" room where the cornwall III's were in the heritage theater. I'd like the primary listening room where the 60th aniv khorns were, or even the conference room where the 3 channel stereo was demo'd.
