  1. The first time I heard Klipsch was the fall of 1971, I was 16 and went to my boyfriends house. His Dad has Klipschorns and I was literally blown away! We put on Led Zeppelin’s LP and played Stairway to Heaven. My prior listening experience had been a transistor radio, so you can imagine the Jolt my ears heard! I wound up marrying my boyfriend and the first year we were married, we built our own set of speakers with the help of my Dad. They were built from the Speakerlab Klipschorns plans, man they sounded great. In 1987, we were finally able to afford the real deal, Klipschorns!! We even contacted Klipsch engineer Gary Gillum to help us design the perfect room. We closed in part of our 3 car garage and built our music room. It sounded fantastic! Fast forward to 2001. We decided to move to the Nashville area and began looking at houses. We literally looked at dozens of houses, (always tape measure in hand)! One Sunday afternoon we were out looking at homes and passed by a brand new subdivision and decided to check it out. There were only about half a dozen homes in it ,but the views were gorgeous. We topped this hill and there was this home, not finished yet, but a big sign in the yard that said, come on in and see the difference. We went in and every turn we took made us love this home even more. When we climbed the steps to the room over the garage, our jaws dropped. There it was, the room that our Klipschorns would fit in! Out comes the tape measure and YES, they would work perfect! Fast forward almost 20 years later and we still have the Klipschorns (and a second pair) and basically a whole home filled with Klipsch LOVE! I personally have no clue why so many ladies out there don’t like music, but dang, I’m sure not one of them! I will post pics soon! Happy listening friends!
  2. Let me tell you about this rug! A neighbor was moving to Florida and decided to sell it. Her husband was in the oil business and they had lived all over the world. When they were living in Las Vegas, she had this guy that would come in and bring rugs for her to switch out though out the year. This one she kept when they moved to Tennessee. She said she didn’t want it in Florida. So I got a great deal/steal on it!
  3. No comparison! We have 2 pair of the Cornwall 1 and 1 pair of the Cornwall II. When I heard these at Hope, I knew I had to have the IV’s
  4. We got them fired up and I must say, they sound ok. Seriously, they sound fantastic! As you know, I am crazy about Klipsch!
  5. I have been waiting for almost 2 weeks to finally announce that I am that little old lady that bought these gorgeous Cornwall IV Museum Editions! They arrived this morning packaged as if the Hope Diamond was inside (No pun intended). We got them hooked up and they sound amazing! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! I want to personally thank Roy, Travis and Jim. Becky
  6. We heard the new Cornwall IV’s in Roy’s lab and they have me wanting them REAL BAD!
  7. We had a great time in Hope! Thanks so much to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen. It was great to see folks we hadn't seen in years, and to also make some new friends. I decided it was time I got my own profile here since I have loved Klipsch for almost 50 years! The very first time I heard the Khorns I was at my boyfriends house and Stairway to Heaven was playing on an LP. His Dad was an avid music lover and had a top of the line system. I was totally blown away! I wound up marrying that boyfriend (Rigma) and we have been collecting Klipsch from the very beginning. I've never really understood the term WAF as it sure as heck does not apply to me! I look forward to being a part of the group. Becky (MZKITTY)
