There is a thread where they're talking about join dates, 1999 seems to be the oldest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 I was on the site almost everyday back then and even now. I guess I just did not look good enough to see it or I would have joined even earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I got on board in 2001, a few year after I had heard some LS clones built by DJK. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzannucci Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 This forum has significantly morphed since those days. I do miss all the churn and technical information ALK used to provide. It kept thing interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, ALK was too thin-skinned. He perceived each disagreement as a personal attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helped me learn and understand filter networks better. One circuits class and an OLD Loudspeaker Design Cookbook wasn't enough. Before the Pilgrimage, I emailed Al to see if he would come. He wouldn't, claiming he had been banned. Now, he is officious and was often unkind to Klipsch's engineering team especially concerning crossovers. Unfortunately, he misses the point of engineering; it is never "cost is no object". I bought and liked some of his early crossovers, but ultimately went back to my mildly modified Type AAs because the tweeter filter is better suited to the K-77-M (and my ears). It is unfortunate he was so argumentative and withdrew from the Forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so proud and looking for any information I could find. Mine were mismatched, one year apart and one with a K-55-V and another with a K-55-M. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzannucci Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I was on my second set of k-horns and other misc Klipsch. I think I had just purchased a set of KLF-30s and was looking to register them when I stumbled upon this forum. Interesting times back then and maybe too much personality though a significant amount of good technical information. 16 hours ago, John Albright said: Churn? Maybe I define it differently.

The "cost is no object" is something a lot of folks need to understand as there is a point of diminishing returns especially when a company needs to hit a cost target. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I joined the madness in 2006, a few months after I got my La Scalas. Seven years later, I had 10 Klipsch Heritage speakers in my home. Funny how that happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwgorman Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Oct 1999 here. Seems like only yesterday...oh wait, I'm old! By that time I'd owned klipschorns, belles, klipschorns, heresys...(long story). In between, 3 pair of Magneplanars, vandersteens, AR91s, Boston Acoustics A400s. Owned Klipsch exclusively since '95 or so. I currently own Lascalas. I once made it to Hope, got to sit at PWK's old desk when Nancy Barnes gave me the nickel tour. But my claim to fame is, I've actually met DJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
