  1. We are a Klipsch Community. I get that. It's supposed to be about music and speakers. No argument here.

    But I am willing to bet that there is a fair amount of people who are bursting at the seams that want to be able to discuss the goings on in this country with the people and the friends they have in these forums, but are not able to.

    Something profound happened today in Washington D.C. that is just wrong on so many levels and we are supposed to come here and act like it didn't happen.

    Sure, I can go post on other sites and voice my opinion. But that voice is lost amongst thousands of voices that are meaningless to me. Just as my voice is meaningless to them. At least here, I am conversing with people who share common interests. A bond.

    This country is changing in profound ways. We will be affected by these changes. Not being able to share our concerns or our happiness about them in a community purported to be as tight-nit as this one is seems insincere.

    I'm not asking for access to the no bullshit forum. I actually have little interest in it because my focus is based more on the whole community and not just a sliver. I'm asking that those who have the power put their heads together and find a way where people can share on a level that profoundly affects us all. Because I guarantee you, things aren't going to calm down in this country any time soon and this subject will continue to come up in these forums because people are clamoring for outlets to talk about their fears, their hopes, and their frustrations.

    I keep reading comments on this forum about family and friendships. Well I suppose this is a challenge to that concept: Family and friends talk about the things we aren't allowed to talk about.

     

    I agree with this post, and I must point out that I agree without knowing (or remembering) what Steven1963's political or religious positions are.  I just would like to hear what he has to say.

     

    I, also, would like to hear the social, political and/or religious positions taken by other forum members that I have come to know fairly well.  I consider them friends, and I'm interested in knowing what my friends think, and why.

     

    As to "the people paying the bills here" -- one of the best audio companies in the world -- not wanting it, I would ask what they are afraid of.  The opinions of forum members certainly would not be monolithic!  There would be an ever shapeshifting balance (dynamic balance?).  I can't see how politely stated political or religious views in the Lounge would reflect badly on the company.  Those writing personally insulting or hostile posts could be warned, or the offending post deleted, with a reason given to all the rest of us.  Paul Klipsch shared his reason for changing churches (a doctrine he did not agree with held by the officials of the local branch of the first church).  I love how Daddy Dee stated his "occupation."  I assume it is still there in his bio material.  Yet, I am not offended by hearing from people who may hold contrary opinions.

     

     

    I have been here for almost 15 years and I am going to let you in on a little secret--Most of you would not enjoy discussing some of these topics you hold dear unless you are willing to hear that not everyone agrees with you...What's more, some people get obsessed with certain topics and that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on perspective. If it's a good thing folks have great discussions where everyone learns--If it's a bad thing you will quickly see why these discussions aren't held on the regular Forum for those that come here to inquire about speakers or talk about audio.

     

    My 2 cents.

  3. I would say yes to the first question... for the second part, you can find first gen. La Scalas from $450 up. I paid around $1200 for my 1989 Walnut Lacquer La Scalas. La Scall II models are way pricier and not nearly as common on the used market.

  5. I just purchased my first pair of Klipsch, the fortés, and only have a handful of hours of listening time. While I am enjoying their sound I want to make sure I am getting the most out of them.Should I assume that some sort of maintenance is needed? They are all original and very clean, in original boxes, from the first owner who said they have been stored for a while now.  Thanks for any input/advice.

    I'm in same boat to try these horns for first time!! LOL

    what did you have b4 these horns? did you here others, or you just choose these right off?
