I see... but it looks like a newer tradeshow???

are you allowed to offer up any specifics on it? driver make up, size and such?

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.

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

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....

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

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.

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.
