  1. I can confirm Rosner Custom Sound, I worked there in 1977/1978 and that's where I first heard Klipsch Heritage. Rosner did nightclub sound system installation also, we used bass horns based on the Klipschorn bass bin which were scaled up and sealed (sounded great). Rosner Custom Sound is located in Long Island City, which is part of the borough of Queens, NY.  A chain called Stereo Exchange was a Klipsch Dealer, 2 stores I remember in the mid 80's were located in Manhattan and Northern New Jersey.

    Thanks for the offer Joe. Cornwalls probably would have fit and would have been fun. But I am very happy with the Forte's. I am by Brooklyn Museum on the edge of Crown Heights/Prospect Heights. If you are ever interested in stopping by and listening to the new Forte's let me know. Someday I would love to hear the Klipschhorns and Cornwalls.  

     Thats great, Fortes are awesome and should fit the bill. Small world, I have family living near Washington Ave and Carroll Street across from the Botanical Gardens. Can definitely make Klipschorn listening session happen.

  3. Fellow Brooklynite,

     

    If you'd like to listen too some Heritage, let me know. I have Klipschorns, Cornwalls and Heresys some RF series also. Also have Fortes in Bay Ridge. Yup running Mc amplification tubes and solid state. I'm in Bath Beach, what section of Brooklyn are you from? I personally would recommend Cornwalls for your space, might have to move things around a bit, but you won't look back.

    If you're still interested in getting any idea how Heresy's sound. I'll have Heresy 1's back from loan to a family member in about 2 weeks. I have other goodies too (Cornwalls and Klipschorns). My zip is 11214, right off the Belt Pkwy, Bay Parkway exit.

     

    If he doesn't take you up on the offer, and it's open, I'd gladly come by. I've been wanting to preview both the Corn's and K's for awhile. I'm right over the Outerbridge.

     

    Sounds good, we'll set up something after the holidays?

  5. Hi Jim,

     

    I'm not too far away, Brooklyn NY, a couple of miles east of the Verrazzano Bridge. Back in the day, I went to Devry Tech in Woodbridge.

     

    I have 2 systems running Heritage, Klipschorns and Cornwalls in Bath Beach and another system running Heresy's in Bay Ridge.

     

    Your welcome to check them out.

  6. Is analog dead? I don't think so. A few of tidbits I picked up after attending seminars regarding vinyl and digital media at the NY Audio Show this weekend: According to Michael Fremer in 2013, "33 million plus records were pressed worldwide" and some of those was digitally sourced. VPI can't make enough turntables to keep up with demand. I've heard really great digital and vinyl and on the flip side really bad renderings of each also.

  7. Back in the Summer of 1978 (18 years old), I had a Summer job working for Rosner Custom Sound out of Long Island City, N.Y. One of our clients was Harry Helmsley, a real estate mogul. Went to his Penthouse Apartment overlooking Central Park at the Park Lane Hotel. Believe it or not there was a large pool on the roof which had Bozak speakers installed IN it.The speakers were flush mounted along the inner walls of the pool and yes they were underwater.

  8. Went to Binghamton, NY with 16 year old Son a few weeks ago. Checked
    out the University, McIntosh Factory and Audio Classics. Our first meal
    stop was at Chipolte's on Vestal Parkway East. Built into the white
    facade above the service counter sat a pair of Heresy's, mind blower. Tempted to try a Patron Margarita while there, didn't: driving and it was 1100 AM.
