beeker Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 That looks like the 3rd thru final group that went on the tour. Just a guess although the group my fiance(with a klipsch supergroup we were put with) and i were in which was the 2nd group then if i remember i dont see anybody from the 1st group in there...may be wrong.. It was awesome! Thank You to KLIPSCH for the time they spent and everything...It was awesome! The band was great and also one of the klipsch employees jumped in and tuned into the band "bleeding keys" to play some blues...The bleeding keys played with such force you would expect from klipsch to perform for a gathering. They had a sax and a couple other horns&harmonica to round out the rest of the band...Lead Singer(acoustic guitar), electric bass, lead guitar and drummer...THEY ROCKED!! There was an ice cream truck that my fiance frequented a few times with choice of menu on the side of the truck...I tried to tip the guy and he woundnt take anything...Thank you Klipsch for evereything... The tour was held with several groups and was extremely nice...including some of PWK's original artifacts direct from the Hope ark museum...very touching moments throughout the tour...Jim Hunter was the heritage tour guide along with each group having a klipsch employee directing us all throughout the Klipsch headquarters... We were the first to hear some gear that is anticipated in the near future and very interesting although secret and i was asked not to go into too much detail...the leaks im sure will seep out a bit at a time.... Also a very interesting headphone tour that opened your ears to say the least. Going through the rest of HQ was quite a eyeful as we got closer to the CHAMBER! WOW that thing will make you feel weird even without taking my usual dose of secret potions...lol Also a neat surprise was Robert Mathis from the Colts fb team the Joseph the Klipsch racecar driver! Autographs for all....There were tornados in the area so the turnout seemed to be a bit small perhaps although very, very nice nonetheless... Meeting forum members and klipsch employees was an absolute honor and very fun....Lots of freebees and neat sights and very open discussions throughout the tour.... Well my fiance left with the icecream man(jk)lol thanks klipsch lol Yes from the klipsch stadium to a full palladium 7.2 demo and pockets full of freebees it was Awesome!!!Thank you Klipsch and all employees involved! It was the highlight of my vacation(or any vacation for that matter) along with my fiance..... It was almost deja vu....like i had been there before in sorts of ways...5 out of 5 stars with ease...if there was one of these gatherings everyday i would be a bum out front begging for food cause i would not miss one. Cheers!! Thank You Klipsch!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Did you get to hear the Stadium Mark? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeker Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Absolutely. 3 drivers in each side. It was a no holds bard demo...not in a premium sound room although good acoustics nonetheless... I can only say for the size in comparison to any other compact music player in this size its quite ground breaking. Honestly it sounded just as good as i figured. With the huge sound that most of us on the forum listen to everyday I give it an honest B+ to A-... Not lacking sound for the size at all...I would likely bring a...like you have said before a t-amp and some kpt's ya know off of a marine battery myself. If I was in a small home over seas i would not hesitate leaving all my music up to the stadium... Everything we listened to wasnt necessarily ready for demo. There were choices that could be made for each demo then minor adjusting and playback on...some were ready for demo...there was the reference klipsch soundbar with subwoofer in a room with proper acoustic panels that was button push, then listen and watch...Its actually nice with a descent dynamic range for its size. I have considered one of these for constant tv use. Also in that room they had thx ceiling speakers and quad pro cinema pro wall mounted speakers as well as p39's although we only demoed the soundbar in that room. I wanted to hear these new pro cinemas so much...they were not ready for demo... From what the klipsch reps described the stadium is a huge hit in foreign land other than the U.S. After time in my mind we may find the stadium up for sale here or there online...may be wrong cause i will say i could get use to the stadium very easily in time... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 From what the klipsch reps described the stadium is a huge hit in foreign land other than the U.S. Where space is at more of a premium. Makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted June 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2014 I don't know most of the people in the photo, but I can point out Kat on the far left (graphic artist), Alex kneeling in the middle with white headphones (social media specialist), Vlad kneeling next to him (headphone product mgr), Michael and Tony (product mgrs) on the right next to Steve Phillips in the yellow T (retired tech support). I wish I could have stayed for the event! So glad you enjoyed it. Robert and Josef are great ambassadors for us, and I know they had fun as well.

Administrators Chad Posted June 26, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2014 Also, I believe it was mentioned, but that pic doesn't include 2 of the groups (including the one I was guiding around), because some people (forumers cough cough) decided to take the opportunity (rightfully so, I GUESS) to pick the brains of Klipsch employees and ask a bunch of questions and geek out a bunch, therefore making the tours go a bit long at the end. The nerve. (obviously I'm joking. was great that we could provide the opportunity. I'm sure we'll be doing it again at some point.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 So who has some pics of these new reference series speakers??? I know someone does. I'm dying to know what the new models are gonna be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Chad Posted June 26, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2014 So who has some pics of these new reference series speakers??? I know someone does. I'm dying to know what the new models are gonna be. If they do have them, they broke the rules. No pics were allowed in most of the demo areas. The good news is you won't have to wait too long to see the first of the new products being released. It's coming very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Amy Posted June 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2014 Keep in mind the new Reference line coming out in July DOES NOT replace the current Reference line. It is called the "base" line, and will be a more value positioned offering in mass retail. Still awesome, but not the high-end specialty retail products. More Reference news coming in the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Good to know; some people were delaying purchases to see if something better was coming... Variation on "the 1st one is FREE". Keep in mind the new Reference line coming out in July DOES NOT replace the current Reference line. It is called the "base" line, and will be a more value positioned offering in mass retail. Still awesome, but not the high-end specialty retail products. More Reference news coming in the next few months.

Scrappydue Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Nevermind think I read wrong. So the new line will be called the Klipsch base line? Edited June 26, 2014 by Scrappydue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydrama Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Nevermind think I read wrong. So the new line will be called the Klipsch base line? I'll be honest, I'm not liking what I'm hearing and am a bit disappointed. We heard several months ago about a new "Reference" line. Now it's a "Reference line that's more economical for the masses." I'll try to be patient and withhold opinion until product release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
