michaelhigh Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 The best thread to ever grace this forum. The best gift a father (of audiophile extraction) could receive for Xmas, along with a much-needed reunion! Rock the house and get a nice Xmas buzz at the same time! Go!

russ69 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I set my Dad up with some nice Moth Audio speakers and a tube integrated. Not quite up to the level of a set of Klipschorns but he's 3500 miles away so they had to be ship-able. Anyway, if I knew he would wake me up every morning blasting the things, I would have let him keep his Bose table radio, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Schaffer Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Cornman, mustang guy, and all the rest of you wonderful guys, I am Dandoyen's old man and I got the k-horns for Christmas! Also, one of the world's two best sons! The speakers are simply mind-blowing, make no mistake about it. But the real gift is the thing these speakers mean, i.e. way this kid has turned out. I don't know what's gonna be nicer, sitting in this room listening to these gorgeous things or thinking about what they symbolize. THAT may just get in the way of the music, but who the hell cares? I have read all the posts on this thread and all I can say is that I'm in almost as much awe of this group and the way you use this forum to support/help/encourage each other in the pursuit of one of the world's greatest hobbies/avocations (oh, hell - let's call it what it is, a damn freakin' OBSESSION). I am proud to be one of you now - don't expect I'll post a lot, but rest assured I will be lurkin' & learnin'. God bless you all, and enjoy the remainder of your holidays.

Mallette Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Steve, a huge Klipsch Klan "Welcome!" Your son is very special indeed, and I rather doubt he got that way by chance. As opposed to cars, football, computer games, and whatever, I defy anyone to say it's bad to listen to too much music... Keep us informed of your experiences and share it all. You are very correct in this being a special bunch of people who share the world's finest pasttime. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi Steve, Welcome to the group... I'm also anxious to hear your thoughts... Boxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yep, welcome! It's stories like these that can bring a tear to an eye. Not so much for the merchandise per se' but rather as already pointed out, the hidding meanings behind such gestures. Sounds like your son came from a class family and represents them well.

Mike Lindsey Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just now reading this thread and wanted to also express my gratitude for your service to this country. Your father certainly raised you right, and the world is a better place for it. Steve, welcome to the Forum and I hope we see you around.

Dennie Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Welcome Steve, we're glad you're here! Congratulations on the Khorns and the "kid" that was raised right! You are truly blessed and have some of the Sweetest sounding speakers ever made and yours may sound the Sweetest of all! You are now part of the Klipsch Family, so don't hesitate to ask questions, share experiences or just brag like we do! [] We are Almost as Proud of Dan, as you are! Congratulations!

TasDom Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I am Dandoyen's old man and I got the k-horns for Christmas! What a great thread! As a father and a proud American, I felt the emotions as I read thru all the posts. Congratulations on such a special gift (and your speakers as well) I would imagine by now you have burned that shirt as a "former member" of the piss and moan club! [] God Bless!

J M O N Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm late to the party in reading this post but that certainly is an AWESOME story!! Congratulations on a great gesture that turned out as awesome as expected! Fortunately for me, I have two boys myself. It's going to be along time before they are making any money and I already have Klipschorns, but I don't have Jubilees! I'm going to have to show them this post when they get older... [] By the way, I used to live in Lancaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
