What you are asking is impractical also.. Think about it. There is nothing wrong with the crossovers in the old sats. Nobody has complaind of any real problems for over a year until something better comes out
Also, Klipsch is already offering the CP-1 as an upgrade for something practical. A sat kit is impractical. Say it with me.. im-prac-tic-al
Paragon,
I don't see how selling the new sats separately to those who want to pay for them is impractical. Whether or not there is something wrong with the sats, there appears to be a significant number of people who are interested in upgrading. Shouldn't Klipsch at least investigate the possibility and cost effectiveness of creating such an upgrade kit? If there are owners out there who want to have the new sats and don't really care about the extra expense, they can buy just the sats. It really is the very similar to the situation with the CP-1 upgrade that you agree is practical. The features added to the CP-1 are not absolutely necessary and many owners are opting to not buy the CP-1 because they don't feel there is anything wrong with the current control pod. But,for those who really wanted the added features, the availability of the CP-1 upgrade was a godsend. The usefulness or practicality of the upgrade is up to the individual owner. What I'm suggesting is simply that Klipsch offer an upgrade path for those owners who would like to upgrade and are willing to pay for it. All they would have to do is bundle the new sats with the CP-1 upgrade and charge whatever they need to charge to cover the costs and make a profit.
From Klipsch's point of view it is no extra trouble for them. They are already producing the new sats in large quantities. From a business perspective, it would actually be a great decision because they would be deriving additional income from products they are already producing. Klipsch would incur NO EXTRA COSTS and would not have to undertake any additional labor or development. They would absolutely not have to take back any old sats. In essence, offering the kit would be a win-win proposition for all, Klipsch could increase its profits and exceed owners expectations and owners who want to switch to the 4.1's sats can do so with a minimum of fuss. Indeed, producing and selling more sats may result in lower overall production costs and possibly more profits for Klipsch or lower prices for customers.
So how is this impractical?
