My cat has also had some fun with my Heresy III speakers although, admittedly, not nearly as bad as in the photo you posted. I have used the miniwax touch pen (Golden Oak) to great effect though. Completely erased the scratched. Looks brand new.
Removing the grille made my cat lose interest in the speakers.

Those went fast!
Sold out in under 24 hours. Pretty nuts. I am pretty certain we'll never see these again.

My apologies. I also just posted this under Klipsch News. Regardless, very sad news indeed.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Valerie Klipsch, beloved wife of Paul W. Klipsch. She was a huge part of his life, and therefore ours.

Hello! Anyone know what brand/model speaker stands these are? I'm curious because I have a pair of RP-140WM's in a 2.1 setup, but am thinking about going 5.1 and would want the bookshelf speakers on stands located in the rear of my room.
Thanks,
Nick
Sanus but not sure what model right now. Sorry!

I have a question for you. Do you remember back, oh IDK, maybe October, I asked you about picking up another pair of Image ONE headphones? You said you said you had it covered and they would arrive shortly. I PM'ed Chad and he said he would have you call or email me. I'm still waiting, feel free to respond when you get a chance
:D TY
Mark
Could you DM me your details, so I know what to look for in my inbox haha?

Really enjoyed this review. I have a RP-260F system and Heresy IIIs and I share a lot of your same thoughts.

Considering msrp of the 150m's is $500(and under), then RP-140m's would be around $400. That's $200/ea.
Meaning you have around $400 "worth" of amplification and wireless tech inside EACH monitor.
I don't know enough about pricing mechanics to really comment directly on this. What I would say is that HD Wireless took a whole lot more R&D for our engineering team than the passive Reference Premiere lineup. Plus, amplificatioDirector of Technology and Innovationn is expensive which is why you don't see it built into a lot of speakers.
Anyway, Matt Spitznagle, newly promoted Director of Technology and Innovation, answered a question about these speakers' amplification on Facebook that I think would be interesting to y'all:
"Each amp channel is limited to 25W per driver. The power supply in the 440WF and 440WC is 125W. The 140WM has a 50W power supply. The 110WSW amp can output 200W. The biggest reason you don’t see amps in speakers is amps are expensive and can be difficult to implement, especially when they are quiet enough for Klipsch speakers. Acoustically, this is a superior solution because it allowed us to use a DSP crossover. It also means each speaker doesn’t have to share a power supply like it would with a receiver. 2 WF’s, 1 WC, and 2WM’s have 460W of power supply available. Most mid-grade receivers may rate themselves at 100W/channel but most can’t come close to that with all channels driven."

Yeah, a good receiver can run around $1,500.
The one thing I don't like about the advertising is that they don't show the power wires, which each speaker still needs..
Fair point. As you can guess, it's a controversial topic amongst our staff.
I am not so sure about that. With all of the press Atmos and DTS-X has made recently, I am sure there will be updates available. At least I hope there will be...
While there will be firmware upgrades obviously to the original HD Control Center, there will also be new and different levels of the HD Control Center.

ok lets talk a bit more about this. after i just looked at the pricing of all of this and even after thinking of the usual street price i about fell off my couch and hit my head. is there any thought about longevity of this system? i mean lets say 3 years from now klipsch decides to stop making the hd wireless center. was an rca jack included on these so it could be used with a avr down the road? or are you literally gonna be stuck with some crazy expensive speakers that aren't compatible with anything on the market?
Long-term, these speakers are going to be compatible with "HD Control Centers" from other companies as well. This is just the beginning.

this is amazing you would even say something like this considering you guys have rooms to demo palladium stuff and khorns.Some of you have probably heard me say this before, but all employees were given the demo of these speakers a couple months back and most came out saying that it was the best Klipsch demo they had ever heard. The Klipsch engineering team really outdid itself with this one. These aren't just great wireless speakers. These are great speakers PERIOD.saying they aren't just good, they are great is fine. but saying they are the best demo that many have heard is insane to me.
this is amazing you would even say something like this considering you guys have rooms to demo palladium stuff and khorns.Sounds like they need better hearing protection in the production area. I find the claim hard to believe myself. I'll certainly submit myself to a demo in May and they can prove me wrong.
OK, so my word choice wasn't great here haha. I meant "best" in a more relevant sense, as it was the most impressive considering their size, price, setup, expectations, etc. It was legitimately shocking how awesome the 2.0 HD Wireless setup was.
Obviously, Palladium and K-horns sound better, but RELATIVELY, the demo of HD Wireless was more impressive to me and a lot of people here.

Only select customers got them. I'm seeing if we have any left over. Like Chad said, not many were made.
