I don't think we should be talking about Clarence or thermalup when they aren't here to defend themselves. Does that seem fair?

Actually, you are the one who refused to post the polar responses that I requested, because you knew that they would back up what I have been saying. Nice try to obfuscate though. Why not take your hissy fits to PMs, instead of trolling in public?

Funny story, Coytee. Thanks for sharing.

Seadog, These particular ones are matched to the walls of the room. It's the same principle as having oak veneered Khorns in an oak room. So, I agree with you in that they are not for every home, but if you happen to have a light green room, they'd be the rat's ***.

LOL! Good one.

Okay, whatever girl-color you want to call them. Man colors: Black Brown Blue Green Red Yellow Orange Purple White and that's it.

How about voting certain individuals off the Klipsch island? I sorta think somebody had this idea before and, if so, I don't mean to be stealing it. Maybe 20 negative votes and you're history. We'd have to set up some rules but I think it should include Klipsch employees to be fair to all.

The interesting info comes out in dribs and drabs.

You're right, sorry, I'll let you play that role. []

Great! Listening to music is what it's all about. Or . . . are you going to be listening to sweep tones?

Very good! [] But possibly a little harsh.

Do you mean "wouldn't"? But either way, "would" or "wouldn't," I have noticed a pattern in what you will and won't discuss. First of course there was the whole Al K. matter, then the 402 vs 403 matter, then not coming up with anything in response to mas. But do go on entertaining the peanut gallery.

I know the answer to that one. He's heard it exactly as much as Dean has, you have, and I have.

Which posts and threads do you mean, Junior? Was one of them the one in which the Bad Cowboy wouldn't respond to mas?

That is really interesting. I recall someone recently making a huge deal about collapsing verticals in order to promote a different horn.

I'm always getting darn near killed when I plug in my equipment that has only two prongs. Nearly everyone was nearly killed whenever they plugged stuff in before three-prongs became the norm. On the other hand, Dr. Who has been electrocuted many times and doesn't consider it a big deal at all.

That's downright bizarre, when that is one of the best choices for solid state amps there is, according to Mobile Homeless.

My post went where all the best posts go, Edwin. But, no, I wasn't suggesting that at all. Someone who responds to a serious request for info by saying he wants a note from mas's mother?

Yeah, digital EQ, digital delay, cheap digital amps. That's the audiophile route!

Keep in mind, though, Rick, this is just the asking price. It looks like the guy who wrote the review did dump a total of close to $2000 in it, though. I'm not sure where the extra thousand added value came from--maybe for the trouble of writing the ad on audiogon?

Sam Kim certainly straightened up a lot of wires. It barely looks like an EICO anymore at all. But I hope anyone at audiogon who is considering buying this unit reads Stereophile's measurements by John Atkinson: http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/606eico/index4.html Although some aspects of its measured performance were okaythe fairly low output impedances, the mainly second-harmonic nature of its distortion signature, the honest power ratingthe EICO HF-81's poor low- and high-frequency linearity, its under-performing phono stage, and the idiosyncratic nature of its tone controls leave me scratching my head about why so many audiophiles regard it as one of the best-sounding amplifiers of the "Golden Age."John Atkinson I'm assuming that Sam Kim improved the stock HF-81, but who knows. Bill, if you ever thought of selling yours, there's no better time than when an ultra-expensive unit is being advertised!

But Klipsch has already sold six pairs of the speakers. They must be doing something right that you're not giving them credit for.
