Moderators dtel Posted January 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2015 This place is always off and on, to me it seems slower in the spring as weather get's better, people are busier. Not being one of the technical people here (no interest) or much into HT I tend to post more in the off topic areas. I never argue about technical stuff, I may have an opinion but it's usually from something I tried that worked or didn't. When someone claims to know everything about a subject or demand their opinion is the only fact I would rather just not post, I figure with all the experience here most people know BS when they read it. Overall there are many good people here, having had a chance to meet many in person it's a really good group, this make it easier to put up with an occasional attitude, no one's perfect even if they don't realize it at times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2015 You never got the last pay raise, the big one ? I was told it was a merit increase only and to work harder next year. Well that can't be true, they gave it to me and it wasn't just because of the bribes and not posting the pic's I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2015 I say we collect an "appropriate amount" for CECAA850. I am in for .15! I like Carl, how could I not, he is really nice AND he introduced me to and brought over my new favorite adult beverage when he visited. Let's add to that and make it a whole $1 + a drink when in Hope, if he will have one, he may have to be talked into it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I am in for .15! 7 and a half times more than what I never asked for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniper Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have been off the forum for months, when the change happened with the new format it was strange getting comfortable, way to bright for my eyes, and it has a coffee house feel now, which isn't bad but can be distracting. It was more classic, I would say, focused on audio... Then I wasn't able to sign in with my old account. Some type of problem with my computer, at least I am a newbie now and can ask newbie questions... I do miss some of the "old timers" but people do get busy...

Klipschsonian Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The future would be great if they made Klipsch smart home theater receivers that recognize what type of Klipsch speakers you and automatically make 3-4 optimized listening levels for them & are ready for stackable Klipsch amps if ever made. Well maybe I shouldn't give out all my plausible engineering greatness lol but, a great mid to high end line of smart receivers would be awesome though.

Thaddeus Smith Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 i feel like I'm at an intervention. it's awkward and unnecessary and will either fix itself or crash and burn. Besides, there's always AudioKarma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxr dad Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'm just glad we have a Klipsch forum. The history of Klipsch has to be respected and I think you guys are doing a great job representing. I mean, not once has this forum ever made me want to sell my Klipsch and buy Bose! Must be doing something right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Earl just wants us to chat about Equipment, he just really wants to make sure he has it all. He's freezing up north and likely needs more tube equip to keep him toasty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 i feel like I'm at an intervention. it's awkward and unnecessary and will either fix itself or crash and burn.

Thaddeus Smith Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 me? no.. i control my spending quite well. two systems, sparsely populated, and a KMC-3 that I won when Klipsch first introduced them. Now.. if people would start using my CD conversion services, then maybe I might become a bit reckless with audio purchases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) i control my spending quite well were you always that way? I’ve never been financially responsible. I’m fine financially; but, that’s not because of any financial planning that i’ve done. I constantly walk out of a store without any idea of how much i just spent--that’s the problem with debit cards--i don’t even listen to the cashier tell me how much it was, i don’t look a the cash register … just swipe the card and walk away. i think everyone has certain areas where they’re willing to spend more and areas where they don’t. i have no problem spending a lot of money on a car or a guitar; but, i’ve always hated paying a lot for a meal. Now my cousin is a professional chef -- he has no problem paying over $100 for his meal--he says a nice meal is entertainment for him. Another problem is that i don’t get rid of stuff…i have several speakers that haven’t been used in years…i should sell them; but, not the most social person in the world and placing an ad in crags list isn’t something i’m comfortable with. People might want to buy them, then they’d want to call me, and i’d have to talk to them, then i’d have to actually meet them. Hello Ativan.

BigStewMan Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 one lady was totally happy with the music from the clock radio … another lady told me that speakers were to be heard and not seen. Perhaps i should give “audio" a heavier weight on the scorecard? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjd Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 … another lady told me that speakers were to be heard and not seen. Did you tell her that she should be hearing music and that if she is hearing speakers something must be wrong? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
