Audio Flynn Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Last year was excellent in a much better hotel. Hope to see some of you guys I have never met in person. A great oppurtunity to hear a bunch of systems then go to Craigs room and hear the Franken Scalas, VRDs and Blueberry kick all their butts!

SWL Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 What kind of get togethers happen in the Chicago area? I must have missed something.For the last two years in February, a member held it at his home in Northbrook. I don't know what they did before that. A relatively small get together where everyone that attends brings either some type of tube gear and/or speakers. Food + Drinks + Tunes= Good Time [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I just finished reserving my room -- I'll be there. I'm bringing something "interesting" -- a little project I've been working on for the last few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I went last year attempting to help hoist the banner for Klipsch (not in an official capacity). They fired me a month later. Don't think I'll be there this year. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I went last year attempting to help hoist the banner for Klipsch (not in an official capacity). They fired me a month later. Don't think I'll be there this year. Good for you Michael. Glad to here someone over there is willing to beat the pavement. Not that I'm big into that sorta thing, because I'm not, but I was sure surprised not to find 1 klipsch product at the Denver Audio show last year. I guess the Klipsch name is well recognized enough that they don't need to reach out to locals at that level anymore. Must be focusing on the huge consumer electronic shows like in Las Vegas.

colterphoto1 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks Gilbert but I don't think they do ANY shows any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks Gilbert but I don't think they do ANY shows any more. I think that is a mistake in the long run. You have to get out on the road, get dealers involved and meet customers. Klipsch dealers I have visited in Michigan never seem too enthusiastic about Klipsch or horn speakers in general. It is a challenge to make a room sound good in a day and a challenge to make it sound better than your competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
