  1. ....thats what Im hearing. The news release on the new line is silent with regard to cabinet covering.
  2. ...Klipsch and other audio makers make it appear like they strongly discourage purchase of their products from the net and other resellers.They disclaim a warranty items sold that way.Why then do they obviously sell these same vendors large quantities of the product at substantial discounts that permit these sellers to undercut their brick and mortar retailers by 35%? Obviously there are fair trade laws that prevent manufacturers from refusing to sell to one source or another, but Klipch or others could charge the suggested retail price which would effectively put an end to sales by anyone but their dealers.The net dealers obviously have constant availablity of most recent products which tells me they are not simply dealing with overstocks from regular dealers.All this brings up one final question...why doesnt Klipsch (and others yamaha etc) simply sell direct to the public on the internet or open regional outlet stores like Ralph Lauren etal.
  3. Its hard to believe that there are so many educated people who still insist that the fate of the economy depends on the party in power. Business cycles and collateral events come and go and it all really has little to do with the actions of the chief excutive at the time. Reagan and Clinton were the lucky occupants when conditions were improving while Carter and now Bush inherited deteriorating situations that had little to do with any action or inaction on their part.On their worst day, most private corporations outperform government.The economic crime of the century is not Enron or Worldcom which ultimately will affect only a small number of people over a short period of time. Meanwhile we and our employers pay 15% of every dollar we earn in Social Secuity and our government readily admits workers under age 60 will surely receive far less than they contribute. If you want to talk about gross fraud, lets start with the cases that cause the most damage. Though they posture endlessly,the president and congress have very little control over economic events---thank god! Things will improve and when they do it will be despite government and not because of it.
  4. I presently have RB5s on top of bookshelf with rear ports approx 7" from rear wall and angled in slightly. I frankly have no other choices for speaker placement at this time. Are there any tweak that can clean up the sound a bit since they are a bit muddy with current placement.
