Mr Klipsch ( IMO ) was the first to come close to finding that mythical unicorn we all look for. For this reason he deserves to wear the kings crown. However if you reach that status be aware there will be many that will try to dethrone you. But lets be realistic about the unicorn for just one minute. It will never be found, it does not exist. Its only in our head and will always be. So for me, I have stopped my hunt and moved on to more important things in my life. For those of you still on the hunt, good luck, Paul Klipsch raised the bar extremely high.

Yes sir. They donated the land, the building, artifacts and archives to the nonprofit 501c3 corporation, Klipsch Heritage Museum Association.
In addition, they have donated several pairs of Special Edition speakers for the museum to auction. The museum will also be providing research for Klipsch on projects they will be undertaking.
Paul Jacobs, CEO, Matt Sommers, Creative Director and Roy Delgado are all members of the Board of Trustees which consists of nine people.
Great, sounds like things are Rocking & Rolling. I have not followed the Museum and its progress and was just curious. I hope it continues to grow and get bigger and better.

Does anyone know if the Klipsch company has made a donation to the Museum?

Not a clue. It all about the money & what we can afford. We own 10 acres here and have it up for sale. Truth be told, My wife & I work hard and have given to too many people that had their hands out. Our property is valued at $175.000, I hope to net $10,000. When this happens We will go to the end of the drive and decide to turn right or left

Just now, dirtmudd said:so what are you selling any pics ?
Listings will come soon with photos. Going through more BS than my mind can absorb at the moment. I have a set of cornwalls, set of heresys, some sony high end ES gear.
Some more items, Just need to chill, Battling neighbors , deaths in family, land dispute, Have been working with a bank on a loan consolidation, the loan was approved 18 months ago and I still dont have it. I see a very dim light at the end of the tunnel, I think it might spell out Bankruptcy. If anyone on the forum is an attorney, I sure would appreciate asking a few simple questions.

I man called me yesterday about a pair of Klipsch Heresy's I have for sale. We talk for a while and set up a time for him to come take a look and listen. I live in the country a bit, but I am 3 minutes off the interstate. He has an hour drive to get to my home.
This morning he calls me and says he is at my driveway. I tell him to drive on up and I will meet him in the yard. He states he cant come up. I ask why, his response, you have a dirt and gravel driveway. And then he proceeds to inform me, that I should have told him my driveway was dirt & gravel & tells me how I wasted his valuable time ( in a very nasty way). My driveway is a little less than a third of a mile long. I told him to sit tight and I would run some speaker wire to the end of the drive so he could listen to the speakers.
He really goes off at that point & informs me , he is going to flag my speakers from craigslist.
Has the world gone completely mad or is it just me?
Last week a man came over, spent 3 hours listening to every speaker I have for sale. He narrowed it down between two sets. So I politely ask what will it be, he looked at me and said his wife would kick him out of the house if he brought home a set of speakers.

Be Nice. Be Kind. The word Fugly should not have its feelings hurt in relation to this ad. I took my Fugly meter & scanned it over the photo and for the very first time it did not register. All my best to the seller.

If everyone on the klipsch site chips in a dollar or two, we can buy them and keep them in the USA. I will go and pick them up, keep them at my home and everyone is welcome to come and listen. I would even be willing to let you take a photo of you standing beside them, for a nominal fee. ( i think a dollar for each photo would be fair.) Almost forgot , I will need gas money to go pick them up. Peace love & harmony to all, so what do you say, lets get those dollars rolling in. ANYONE? ANYONE? ANYONE?

. These speakers may make someone happy. I wish the seller the best. Beauty being in the eye of the beholder. But I had to close my eyes when I saw them. I owned a set of
UREI model 813 B time aligned studio speaker a short while back. One of the ugliest set of speakers you ever laid your eyes on. But the sound was out of this world. I was going to keep them and build new cabinets around them and add grills. Someone heard them and made an offer I could not refuse. Selling them was just one of those times you look back and say, what was I thinking. Hope these Khorns find a good home.

WHOA, WHOA, I did not say I never cut the grass. I use to cut it all the time before I was married. Or was it before I found Klipschorns. OK now I am a little confused, Surely I must have cut the grass at some point.

That's a good question. I think a compare and contrast thread sounds interesting, both for La Scala II and Khorn II, but there is no Khorn II, right? Just Khorns differentiated by the crossover version.
Are you in the market for the LS II, SGB? I just took a quick look at my spreadsheet and found at least 30 LS's I have documented prices for on the used market, but only a single example of an LS II.
Yes I am interseted

Price aside, So please dont talk about how they are over priced. Comments on sound alone. Are they going to sound as good as regular stock La Scalas? Does anyone have a pair they listen to, and have compared the difference between?

I use smaller silent computer fans (12v) hooked to a wall converter. They're plugged into a switched outlet so when I turn my pre amp or receiver on they automatically turn on.
Great idea. I thought of doing something similar but thought a little larger fan would push more air. Just made the post to see if others thought it was a good idea to keep the equipment running cooler.

I run six inch 110 volt fans across the top of my equipment to dissipate the heat. I have never had a receiver or amp overheat. Does anyone else do this. My wife tells me she loves listening to the music while she is cutting the grass in the yard.

I recently picked up a Sony STR-GX9ES. It drives Fortes very nicely! The sound is so much livelier than with the other amp I was using, I'm thinking that one was running up against its current limts (??) trying to drive the Fortes which are 4 ohms.
It's a really neutral, clean sound. Lyrics are particularly easy to understand on this amp.
Your Sony in my opinion is one of the best pieces of equipment made for all around performance. I have 3 of the Sony str GX10es. I have a backup for my backup. Thats is my impression of them. Put a small six inch 110 volt fan on top of your sony and then crank away, It is a real workhorse.

not Sammy. Thanks for responding.

I started in the forum with a different name and used it for a while and changed it after about three months. I picked my first name thinking people would get a laugh from it. Not a single response from anyone. The same thing happened to me on the Bay. I personally do look at peoples chosen names ( handles ) and often wonder. We all choose our name for our own reason. For some our name choice has personal references and others appear to just be picked out of the air. While raising my children, I always told them to be careful of what and how you say things to people. You never know how the things we say to others will impact them in their life. Every one has something that was said to them at one time in their life that has stuck with them in a positive or a negative way. So for me, I choose a forum name that I heard someone say years ago on a talk show. It stuck with me all my life. My current name ( stay groovy baby ) ( music related ). Just curious, any idea anyone?
But then whats in a name.

I was going to say a great martini, but that would have been too obvious......
I assume you were funnin a little with your answer. But you know what, most people say some type of food or beverage. And lets always remember, No drinking and driving. Its to hard to keep from spilling a Martini while driving. Just curious, I have not had a drink in 9 years, never had a problem with it just lost my taste for it. But after I stopped having a drink or two, my speakers changed their sound. Do you think there is a connection?

I have not been on for a while. The forum has become like so many others. Arguments, nasty comments, no respect for others, getting off topic. I love Klipsch speakers, but there are others out there just as good for the same and better prices. Everyone hears different. Everyone likes different music , at different levels and so on. I have owned so many types of speakers and agree Klipsch are in the top line up, but there are others just as good, again same price range. You enjoy what you enjoy, melted or not good is good. I wish everyone good health and the very best in all your endeavors. I,m gone.
