No, that's an old trade show. That's Billy Bob Thornton in the background, who was part of our Legends campaign from 2006. Also, the oval logo has been gone a while. I want to say that was called Premiere, and was the first modern attempt at very high-end...a distant predecessor to Palladium, in a way. I don't have any technical details.

beeker Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Very interesting. Man im glad those didnt happen although sure they were ok. Look to be a kevlar cones w metal dust cover like paradigm monitors made today. Iv had some of them. They seen the light of day and were jammed back in the box and taken back. I actually do still have some speakers that do look very similar tho not paradigm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 So what happens to speakers like that after it's scrapped? Does it just sit in a warehouse never to be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted April 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 10, 2014 So what happens to speakers like that after it's scrapped? Does it just sit in a warehouse never to be used? Scrapped, taken apart, re-purposed, or maybe someone gets to take them home. Just depends. I have no idea what happened to that one...if it was even functional or just a display, or if it even had a matching pair. Speakers come and go.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The feet/spikes appear to have made their way into newer RF series speakers. So it wasn't a total loss.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeker Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Wow that would be interesting. To see what klipsch has had that didnt make it to production. In the past we have seen many variations that didnt cut it for long. The klipsch speakers from the past are such an interesting platform that has grown so many different directions. Lots of interesting thoughts. One day the current models that didnt make it would make great visuals and provide interesting specs...Many, many years from now. That such as early heritage have been shown and none exist xept 1 pair in the entire world that many years ago were meant to be used in mono rather than stereo. Last sentence i wrote is an actual true statement or actually happened with early klipsch heritage from what i gather. A pair of shorthorns if i recall correctly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David H Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think that was at the Consumer Electronics Show Las Vegas. Billy Bob was one of the judges for a Klipsch promotion. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 I want to know what ahppened to this piece as it's obviously not going into production anytime soon. Where is the console itself... and if it would ever make it onto the market as a one off? Has anyone ever seen the plans for this piece?

I think I saw that unit at the HQ in Indy a couple of years ago. They were testing it. I'm not sure what happened to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckAb3 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Just 'cause I'm stuck on old fashioned Klipsch 3-way speakers, I'd love to seen any prototype 3 - ways they might have considered but scrapped. The KLF series was one of the last that made it to production and stayed around for a while, I think, except for heritage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I forget the name the product line had but from what I was told after final listening sessions it was decided to go back to the drawing board. They came back with the Palladium line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
