According to the salesperson I spoke with, we should soon expect to see Klipsch in Wal-Marts, et al. And, if that's the case, their "high-end, premium" status would also go the way of Blue Light Specials. Apparently, Magnolia wants to maintain their image of carrying only high-end equipment, hence, their phase out of Klipsch.
Too bad because it's getting difficult to audition speakers with so much to choose from. Reminds of the early days of stereo where the idea of a listening room was just a dream, and speaker listening was a chance event.
