JoeDirt Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 So I bought a pair of Chorus I's 6 months ago. I started listening to music with them and began hearing things previously hidden in some of my favorite songs. Yes, I was gloating and beaming about how great these speakers really are. Last week my wife was re-arranging the furniture in my man cave so as a courtesy I put on her favorite Music Choice channel, The 70's. I sat in my lounger and listened to Rocky Mountain High by John Denver and started to appreciate the background instrumentation that I never knew existed. I began to feel a little self conscious about liking a song again that came out when I was 7 years old. But it did sound good, so I justified my position based on sound quality. This type of closet-appreciation went on for 6-7 more songs, me finding new subtleties in each one. Then came Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb, a song that no self respecting alpha male ever liked or could even stand listening to. You guessed it, I'm hearing instruments and clarity that made me want to listen to this song longer and longer. After I'd listened to the whole thing, I felt dirty, shameful, and a loss of self esteem. Like I came out of the closet musically. As of today I am still ashamed of myself for what I did and how I felt. But I knew the Klipsch community would have mercy on my soul, or pitty me. Either way I'm cool with it. But if you ever see me wearing Leif Garret or Andy Gibb schwag, please please slap me. Joe Dirt - Out. B) 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 In your defense Mr. Dirt, those Bee Gee tunes did have some interesting musical arrangements, more so than the usual crappy tunes from the disco era. I can't absolve you from your Bee Gee transgression, but I can understand it - sorta. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Sometimes I put on the BEEGEEs for my LF, and she is in nirvana state. Then I put on ABBA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swapface Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I am feeling you JoeDirt. I bought a 200+ record collection off of CL and have been listening to music I would have previously passed on. Some of the funk/disco stuff is pretty good. Enjoy those speakers! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenTacey Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Joe D I know how to fix that. Play Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh but preferably James Gang and you will find everything back where it belongs because we all know that the Rocky Mountain Way is better than the way we had... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1uWA7VPGiE Edited July 1, 2015 by AllenTacey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting side note here: Glen Campbell played guitar on the Beach Boys, "Pet Sound" album. He also toured with them. Following Brian Wilson's breakdown he toured with the Beach Boys from December of 1964 to March of 1965. He was offered a permanent position with the band but declined. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul W. Klipsch called these details the "inner voices" of the music. He considered revealing them to be one of the goals of speaker design.

B) JoeDirt, The Bee Gees wrote a VERY LARGE number of songs between the 60's and 80's, for other performers, not just themselves. If you watch the DVD "The Bee Gees Live by Request", you will find they melted a lot of hearts. Why not reap the benefits? Actually the harmony and musical quality is top notch. From that era the most notables: Philip Bailey - Earth Wind and Fire Frankie Valli - Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons Russell Thompkins - Stylistics Good thing you didn't grow up listening to them. Between these guys and the Bee Gees they must have only sold over 1/2 Billion records. I'd just like to have some of the residuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
