I emailed the seller and he informed me that they were factory and he had the documentation to prove it, and to quit spreading misinformation. He offered to send me more info, but I declined since I was not going to buy them anyway. Greg

Justin, I was told that PWK wanted the pie-slice changed so that the speakers would have a better brand/name recognition factor. But, now that they have the reference series, people who buy the Heritage models know Klipsch and do not need the new style logo. The pie-slice would be used for the Heritage series only. Greg

Frankly, I wish Klipsch kept their PWK pie-slice logo...oh well, I've got the best of both worlds...the pie-slice and the little "k" on my copper nameplates; that's good enough for me. ---------------- Jim, At the Indy Klipsch Tour, there was a discussion by a Klipsch Rep of resurrecting the pie-slice logos for the Heritage products.

bclark, Is one of your dogs a Springer Spaniel? He sure looks like mine. Greg

avman, please let me express my deepest sympathy for the loss of mans best friend. When I was seven we had a terrier mix that looked like Pete on Our Gang, so I called him Pete. He was my best buddy, he could do tricks and come with a whistle. I don't remember when we got him, but I was very little. One hot Sunday afternoon after a lunch of fried chicken, my uncle gave him a chicken bone to gnaw on, and he went in the back yard to chew on it. Since it was hot he went under one of our visitors cars to eat it, and when she left she ran over him. I watched it happen, and tried to yell but it was too late. His loss still hurts today With deepest sympathy, Greg

I am interested if we can find a way to ship them. Greg

Greetings Gentlemen, I am looking for a single or a pair of oiled oak Belle's for my center channel. I know this is a tall order, but if anyone knows of a source please let me know. Thanks, Greg

I saw that single Belle also, but he will not ship, and DC is a long way from Indiana. Greg

Maybe Engineer Jim can post the missing element in my description of the lobby artwork? ---------------- Rob, check your original post, Trey inserted the description there, it's Low Distortion. Greg

Greetings Gentlemen, I don't watch TV anymore, My televison is for playing VCR tapes and DVD's. I find that I don't miss it and it gives me more time to spend with my family, and listening to my Khorns. Regards, Greg

Greetings Gentlemen, Trey mentioned to me that they are having trouble finding someone that can produce the wood Jubilee HF horn with any consistency, there is too much variance between samples, probably because it is wood, and not metal or plastic which is inert to atmospheric conditions. Regards, Greg

My brother bought an Apex DVD at Walmart, and it died after a year. He had to take it apart to get the DVD out. My Toshiba cost $150 @ BestBuy and is still going strong almost 3 years later. Of course it sounds like crap on CD's. Greg

My first good speakers were my LaScala's that I bought Three years ago. Greg

It's a shame what Fisher is now compared to when Avery was alive. Win, I am just a victim of too much research before I bought my 800C Yes it is a shame, I think Sanyo owns the name now, more black plastic crap. I've got one of the bird with a music note in its mouth, "The Fisher" glass/metal advertising stands. Trade for Klipsch memorabilia. Sounds interesting, but I don't have any Klipsch Memorabillia. Greg ----------------

Rob, The Fisher 500C and 800C have the exact same power output, the only difference is the addition of an AM tuner on the 800C Greg

I think avman has been hijacked, look at some other posts today. Strangely out of character for him. Greg

Jim, I am sorry to here about this. You and your family will be in our prayers for a quick and happy reunion. May God bless and keep you. Greg

Dean, Notice that it says "if desired add a new coat of shellac or varnish, followed by a coat of wax to the surface for a high gloss finish and to protect the finished surface" Pentrating oil finishes are not all BLO, they are tung oil, Danish Oil etc. These finishes penetrate, harden, and seal the surface, try wiping BLO on top of a tung oil or danish oil finish, talk about a sticky mess, it will not penetrate. They are penetrating oil finishes, but not the same as BLO. As I said if you want more protection go with a poly varnish or lacquer. Gary, I did not mean that all lacquers were glossy. The primary difference is that BLO penetrates and does not leave a finish on top of the wood, it penetrates the wood itself, where lacquer/varnish hardens on top of the wood. You can strip the lacquer off of the wood and there is relatively little penetration into the wood itself. As for your Corns, I would use lemon oil or Scotts Liquid Gold to clean them and follow that with a good coat of paste wax to restore the finish (see Dean I am not anti-wax) I believe that HDBR said the reason that Klipsch is dropping the Oil Finishes is that they are much more labor intensive than the lacquer. When you initially apply an oil finish you have to apply many coats over a period of time, vs spraying the speaker with a lacquer in a paint booth, plus it is easier to maintain for the average person. I have a solid walnut box I made in shop class 25 yrs ago that I finished in hand-rubbed BLO. All I have to do to restore it original sheen is to apply a coat of BLO once a year! Other projects that I varnished around that time have not fared so well. Regards, Greg

Why do you want to rub Linseed Oil into your wood every year? Why not "seal" and "finish" it? ---------------- Wax itself provides very little protection to the wood, hence watermarks etc. If you just want to protect and forget the finish why not use lacquer/varnish, or better yet polyurethane and call it a day. I happen to like a hand rubbed oil finish, it has a warm glow, it is very easy to repair, and does not have that glossy look that many varnishes have. Actually Dean, I re-oil mine about every six months Regards, Greg

Also, you should never wait longer than 10 minutes before rubbing out. After 24 hours (actually dries in 12 to 18), follow up with a good paste wax. ---------------- You should never use any kind of wax on an oiled finish. It seals the grain and prevents further applications of oil from penetrating. Do a forum search on this topic from HDBRbuilder. Regards, Greg

Greetings Gentlemen, I just wanted to inform everyone that my vacation was just approved so I will be off from tomorrow until July 7th. This is my first vacation since Xmas and I certainly need one! I won't be online because I don't have internet access at home. Not doing anything special, fishing and camping a couple of days, honey-do chores, building a oak record rack for my LP's etc. I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Fourth of July. I'll check in when I get back. Best Regards, Greg

For $8,600 you can buy a new pair of Khorns and have $1,100 change. We know what a Khorn will do in a proper room. Greg
