Justin.... I thought the "We Are The World" album was the biggest seller of all time. (Worldwide Sales). Biggest single of all time was tha adaptation of "Goodbye Englands Rose" from "Goodbye Norma Jean".... by Elton John. "Thriller" was the nuber one selling album in the USA yes...38 million + - sold And Finally your ? Might Still be Peter Frampton..."Frampton comes alive!" I am pretty sure I am close on these......

I think JD said it right ... Really though, at 167 pounds, I think the need for spikes is minimal. Thats a lot of weight. Unless your on a hard surface floor...I doubt spikes would help. Trust me they are not gonna move anywhere IMO. (K Horn User)

While I am a "Star Wars" fan, I personally did not go. The local press seemed to really say this was a first class event. Expected attendence was about 25,000+ people in Indianapolis last weekend. In addition, Klipsch partnered with Lucasfilm THX in presenting the WOW Demonstration Room. This fan convention feature, which the producers of Star Wars Celebration I identified as one of the most popular attractions, uses THX-Certified consumer electronics equipment such as select Klipsch speakers and Aragon electronics and THX formatted source materials to demonstrate the features and benefits of the Lucasfilm performance specifications. My question was did any one go? And what did they think of the WOW room? I am sure many on this board would have loved to seen a crystal clear picture of the upcoming movie, and past vinnettes and hear it through great Klipsch speakers and Amps (Klipsch owned Aragon)too. I didn't know anything about the WOW room till today. (I just scanned the article before. Read about it in the Indianapolis Star paper Sunday.) That alone would have been a great treat... I know a lot will be said in the next few days over Paul W. Klipsh passing too. To rip off a phrase from Star Wars. "May the force be with you." Through my Klipsch heritage speakers, I am sure he would smile to know I/ we love them so much.

Hey for 500 dollars I will take those k horns off your hands this weekend.. Ok so it is not April 1st...but May 1st... I still, however, would in a heartbeat... buy your pair of K horns for $500.00 anytime.

WOW not a single relpy...I am amazed//// Do you even carry the industrial division any more??? Or is Dave gone, and not been replaced yet???

K Horns all the way!!! Much better frequency response...Especially at the low end..(They share the same top end...) You will feel like music MOVES you, for the first time in your life!!!!

Denon 3802 is now set up properly too. THANK YOU Klipsch B/board and Steve!!!! OMG I am in Audio Heaven This message has been edited by IndyKlipschFan on 05-21-2002 at 12:09 PM

Vahorns..I agree nothing before, nothing like it since. I wonder, even today, why we don't have a bad a@@ production type car. The hype of this movie was somewhat silly, but the special effects were cool I agree. give me the big engine you said that can still be ordered today,,,, Kinda like Klipsch re introducing the heritage lineup... Let it out and kick ***.. Would be fun to see it go against the rice cars you suggested too. Build it, and they will come. Where the hell are these great cars we were promissed would come at the turn of the century? IMO they very much after a while look the same.. and thats the problem. After say 1959...its all been downhill to the worst during the Jimmy " I am just a small time peanut farmer" Carter administration over gas consumtion till about mid 1985. If, pardon the political slant here, but if AL Gore had his way we would all be driving electical/ hybrid cars that go all of 50 total miles from home...with the performance of a gas powered golf cart...Geeze... I know they are making progress... But build a decent realistic car to use will ya Detroit/ the world??? Maybe the idea is this?? If we can't go farther than 50 miles from home...they can control us more >>>?? LOL.. Give me my car, give me freedom to go where I want, when I want, and with who I want, for as long as I want. Thats freedom. My 2 cents

Thanks for the info, I just might have to look at this at 99 dollars each... (198 total dollars..) Would be a shame not to hear what the commotion is all about tube amps on my K horns.. Thanks!!!!!

I have the 3802 Denon setup with a pair of K horns. I do not hear ANY hiss. I offer a few suggestions. 1.) Do you have a phone recharger plugged in somewhere in your house? 2.) Do you have a dimmer switch turned on for some other lights in the house? 3.) Check the cables plugged into the back to make sure all connections are plugged in securely. Might also check here removing connections one by one and see if it is a bad connection/cord. I have had many hours listening to the 3802 it is a warmer sound than that from my previous Yamaha system. Music sounds warmer over longer periods where ear fatigue happened with the Yamaha. While I hate the remote..The written instructions are terrible.. AND it is still in my opinion is not set up correctly in my system to view it on the TV to adjust things.<< you buy a $1,000.00 piece of equipment at your audio store..For 100 dollars they will hook it up...Seems like robery to me.>>..(Sorry but it is true. I used to do hookups like this in my sleep in 2 min, but it will not work for some reason.LOL..I must be getting old....) I hope this helps.

The Fifth Element. Lots of ambient pseudo-technoir background music plus it features the largest controlled indoor explosion ever -- plus the aria by the Diva -- lots of highs; crystallic. I agree here too... Lots of added voices and sounds around you. The diva singing is fantastic too. Another movie to understand what "love" is...LOL.

Any thoughts or ideas for us SS guys to try it out, that doesn't cost us thousands of $$$??

Ok the movie was a 7-8 the sound was a 10. Soundtrack is a 10 too. Why..?? It is over the top. Yes, a rip off of every line we all grew up with. That is also why it is a perfect fantastic love story. It is all about LOVE. To love, feel love, and recieve love. If you have never had this kind of love and to be loved in your life time, it is a shame. Is this a "chick flick" yes...... This is perhaps one of those movies you just get lost in the story and enjoy it for what it is....actors, songs, storyline... I think you will enjoy it too if you give it a chance. The male lead tenor is incredible. (And no, I am not gay or Bi..LOL.) Get it on DVD, ignore the hype good or bad, and just enjoy it for what it is... A classic LOVE story.. Who knows, maybe after you see it with your loved one, you can get lucky like I did too.. hehehehehehe (Sorry, had to put it in, it was true afterall..LOL.)

Wow not a single reply??? Does someone know something about the industrial line that I do not? I didn't even get a reply at the pro audio disscussion board too? Seems odd??

OK, I know the professional esoteric Cable guys will bash me like normal, but here I go with MY opinion since you are new to all this. Go to Home Depot...Menards... Lowes... whatever is a good Hardware store in your neighborhood. Go to the Electrical section where you can buy wire off of the spools. (This is not the audio section.) I know here in Indy they carry Woods Wire and Monster Cable. (Yes the same you buy at your stereo store). My point is, you can get the same professional quality 12 Guage, good quality speaker cable, for pennies on the dollar campared to buying this from your local audio store. (There is a considerable, almost unbelievable markup for Speaker Wire at any Upper level Stereo store.) Always buy a few feet longer, so you do not run into your same problem again. (I agree, a single connection at each end is better than a spliced one, no matter what the speaker cable is.) Go home, hook it up, and enjoy!!! And as a buy product, save yourself several hundreds of dollars you can buy music with, or other equipment. Enjoy the music, or your home theatre, and forget what anyone else tells you about some esoteric 3 thousand dollar speaker wire that vastly improves your sound system invented by some university lab in the backroom, that defies all physics laws and gives incredible focus, clearity, real beyond realism.....LOL. (Look for the article in Stereo Review, and then see the full page ad elsewhere in the magazine.) I am sure it makes all other wires sound terrible and "obsolete." Afterall, "lab tests confirm it." You get the idea.

arggg argg arggg,,, Shoot... close to home and didn't see it soon enough... Good buy. At least someone on here picked em up... Let us know what you think after you clean em up a bit, and see if everything is in working order and origional parts too.... I bet you could make a quick 100-200 dollars if you wanted to turn around and sell em quick too.. (Hehehehehe, let me know if your interested??)Congrats!!!

Wow, pretty in expensive. I agree, a matched set is probably the best rout to go. With the cost you said I would get two new ones. They will both be closer to eachother sound wise construction and "feel" than one from some time ago and one from today all things being equal. IMHO.

Look to a Heresy for your center channel. It will not only match your K horns from the heritage lineup, it will just "feel better" (How is that techno babble sound listening wise? LOL) to have the "punch" necessary out from the center speaker. I am amazed some people skimp here because this is afterall where much of the dialoge comes from in any movie. BTW the Heritage line was just re introduced here by Klipsch, and if you look hard enough Ebay sometimes also is a nice alternative if your looking for just one.

You said....Just upgrade to the RF-7's (but is 75 watts per channel enought to push these?)== ================================================== Yes, and may I make a painful suggestion...$$ wise. Why not start with the Best Klipsch has?? ...If it takes you 6 months to a year or more to save for the correct surrounds too...so what? Rome was not built in a day. 75 watts is MORE than enough. When I was 15 I rode my bike 10 miles...To hear some big speakers called Klipsch Horns..I was hook, line, sinker, caught up in what I felt like was my nirvana of speakers.. I saved..and yes bought them new..and STILL am very happy with them to this day. If I had just bought the radio shack special for 69.00 well.. no need to go there..LOL.. Remember in the end..( Sorry to all the guys who sometimes on this board who are "Intellectually Constipated", as we all get sometimes..laugh at yourselves ok??) What do YOUR ears tell you? If it is a big difference sound wise to your ears...go home. Save your $$, and reward yourself when you can do it right too.

I bought the Sony that records onto Mini CD's..(Can even use rewriteable..) Something like 256 pics at high resolution... Look it up at the sony site.. I think off the top of my head...3.3 megapixls.. Incredible, easy, everything about it I love...and yes the most important function..Incredible pics..even blown up. There is a 2.1 megazixl unit in your price range...I would very much encourage you to think about this lineup.. no cards to swap out.. No download times to do into your computer, print off, send emails, is like a no brainer ordeal..,,,and, you can take the CD to any photoshop/ kinkos and can get re prints in a snap. This is where all the technology is going. It is highly functional on automatic, or change the settings like you would on a regular camera features wise for more creativity. All in a digital seamless camera. My 2 cents!!! This message has been edited by IndyKlipschFan on 04-19-2002 at 10:36 AM

Personally I think this would be a killer DJ/ Karaoke setup. I heard the 362's at the Indianapolis Colts complex, and they sounded very nice. That was a few years ago, in the weightroom off of 56th street. Is there anyplace in Indy to demo these products? It is a shame I never see klipsch out in the live venues like I used too with say the split La Scalas in the 80's. (Live music speakers for Bands or a DJ/Karaoke setups.) Someone needs to demo these products, or perform with them live, so people could hear what IMO is the great Klipsch sound.( Clean AND Loud!!) It might go a long way in market penetration and help you in selling them! I know the industrial line is not a big push for Klipsch. Your focus for products seems to be in the Home Audio/Computer/Cinema markets... The industrial lineup is probably 4th on that list, but I had to ask. I see the BobAndTom Radio show/band?? use Klipsch. What do they use??? IndyKlipschFan

I used a system of the split Industrial La Scala's in College at Indiana University in the early to mid 80's. I also felt not enough "punch" in the low end, so I bought a pair of Peavey "Mark 111" bass bins. (They were simular to the La Scala design..had great SPL's and very clean) I crosed them over with a electronic x over and a separate amp. The system was not a fuzzy boom box, but one that really had solid lows and screamed.(And nicer having the La Scalas higher...and highs up above the crowd too...) There was this other DJ that also had the split industrial La Scalas and we one time used all 4 speakers... with the two bass bins on top of one another with the highs on top of those... Ok not again low lows that pounded you... BUT OMG the clearaty and SPL's that day were incredible in an outdoor Little 500 Event. Just my 2 cents.. BTW, I sold the La Scalas for about 800 dollars my senior year. For what it is worth, I STILL lose sleep over that.

Looking for a (1) single Belle Klipsch speaker if anyone has one, or sees one at a "Fair" price let me know. Oiled oak...I think (99% sure) this is my finish. I might also consider Black or could also be unfinished birch too, if this is to go to a home theatre room behind a scrimm. All origional parts in working order etc. etc. I was really hoping when Klipsch came to town I would find more of these in the local papers for sale... But to my sadness, I guess everything is still made in Hope. Also looking for a split La Lscala too. The industrial version in good shape. Thanks for looking.
