Stevemau, I think it's unwise to make a statement that Klipsch are "losing impluse and desperate buyers by the minute." They certainly haven't lost you or, I would bet, 90% of the other people who are waiting for their order. Most people will wait another month (need be - highly doubt that though) in order to get good speakers for the long run, compared to buying 4.1s just because they can't wait any longer. I would serioulsy think they are a few days away. Infact, I would not be surprised if Klipsch is already past the customs and they are taking a few days (even a week) to get things sorted out inside their warehouse, update the website so it is ready for purchase, maunals for the product (I would think they are being made locally instead of overseas), etc. I would not be surprised if the speakers are released before August comes along. Granted, I may be wrong on all this, but I think it's safe to say that all of us here are prepared for waiting that long for the 5.1's need be. Those who aren't, well, no problem with me, just less people ordering the 5.1's in front of me. So anyway, don't throw insults at Klipsch: "Don't give excuses, becasue it generates this kind of bad publicity." as Klipsch is not the type of company to hide behind the messageboard lying when they say soon. They admited fault with the first release date (July 15h?). However Amy is getting beginning to say "Very soon" much more frequently now. They will all come in time... And those that wait, will be the one's pleased in the end. - Tyler ------------------ "Dude, if you have good speakers, why don't you listen to GOOD music?" - Bah

Does final stage = past customs? =) ------------------ "Dude, if you have good speakers, why don't you listen to GOOD music?" - Bah

July 30th, 11AM Eastern =) ------------------ "Dude, if you have good speakers, why don't you listen to GOOD music?" - Bah

The only disadvantage I could think of is having the speakers give a lower-quality sound is not being able to angle them properly. The omnimount would probably fix that though ------------------ "Dude, if you have good speakers, why don't you listen to GOOD music?" - Bah

Thanks =) ------------------ "Dude, if you have good speakers, why don't you listen to GOOD music?" - Bah

Amy - Any info on the email list? Or the customs? - Tyler ------------------ "Dude, if you have good speakers, why don't you listen to GOOD music?" - Bah

Amy - Thats great to know. A few days with it being in you're warehouse for counting and sorting - I think we can all deal with that ) And if you ever have news from your shipping department, that wouuld be good news to hear too for all us waiting-for-5.1-people. ) Also good to know a 5.1 board is coming soon - it seems all 4.1 discussions is pushed fown fairly fast these days. - Tyler ------------------ "Dude, if you have good speakers, why don't you listen to GOOD music?" - Bah

Amy (Or anyone else who knows) - Just curious, are there any other steps which need to be taken after the 5.1's go through customs? Or can we expect shipping as soon as they are "passed"? I heard somewhere that products need to be sorted, or something, once the 5.1's reach the U.S. If this is true, how long will that take? And since asking doesn't hurt, any updates on the Customs people or are they monitoring this messageboard and being cruel to us? =P Oh well, I've just got my fingers crossed for it to be in my hands before September settles in... Also, just thought I'd do an edit and ask: Are there any reasons the 5.1 message board hasn't been started up? Seems the 4.1 has turned into just that.... - Tyler ------------------ "Dude, if you have good speakers, why don't you listen to GOOD music?" - Bah...
