Paranoia rules, not surprised it finally showed up here. Imagine this isn’t the first time the forum has had to adapt to change. You can always just PM Zen or Keith. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like when I came of age, ya know, the 60's. Me too, except the 60s part. It seems like I joined this forum like when I was a teenager. 13 hours ago, thebes said: We are now old doddering fools whom the suits have tolerated long enough. We've drawn the eyeballs, which can now be transitioned to the social media where the collective knowledge goes back about four replies. Yep. And don't forget the google. 13 hours ago, thebes said: Now don't get me wrong. I seldom posted in BS. It was a deliberately planned diversion to suck off the rowdy, the malcontents, the thinkers, and, sure, the malcontents, into an isolated venue where they could rant and rave without fear of polluting the minds of folks who came here seeking simple non-controversial answers to how to hook up their speakers etc. 13 hours ago, thebes said: So adios BS. And if you are some young talent out there toiling away in the bowels of Klipsch Corp. a word of caution. Don't ever go into a meeting and if one of your seniors is spouting blither and blather, don't ever even think of flashing him your BS button. You'll be out on your ear. Good advice and thanks for expressing your thoughts and allowing a thread for some of us to express ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see, As has been mentioned all of us rabble rousers have been warned (some more than others) that our kind won't be tolerated if we get out of control....

I think so. He transited from K'horn to Heresy pretty quickly as he recognized that the market needed accurate, affordable speakers. And supported the KG-2 program that made "compromise" K'horn concept even more affordable. While I've not read any of his own later writings that specifically reference this, it's my belief that his counsel to his later designers was to "...know precisely which of the 8 Cardinal Points you are breaking and most important...WHY." I can see this in the later designs while still under his leadership as each of the latter day designs he blessed...KG series, Forte, etc...follow this philosophy.

Mallette Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Strange. BSM and ZT can't receive PMs. Never ran into that before. Please email me at damallette@mallette.org and any others as well who might be interested in a BS refuge. It is not my BBS and NOT an alternative to this Forum, just a free speech zone when you want to tell us "...how you REALLY feel." as the old BS motto was. The admin of that place is a Klipsch Forum member and that will not change for him or most of us. Still love this place but miss the "free speech zone" and still want to debate with my old friends.

Mallette Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I should add that some of us know more about the discontinuance of the BS area than most...and fully understand and support the reasoning. Those who know aren't mad at Klipsch at all. Just sorry that the PC times finally caught up. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. But keep the coloring book and cuddle the bear because some folks are going to need it given how the climate has changed....One of the interesting things that has been exposed is that personal responsibility has been trumped by political fervor and understand why Chad is discontinuing the BS Forum.

Marvel Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I posted a few times, but really didn't have the time to spare. Browsing the internet can waste a lot of time, so it could have been another month before I noticed the BS section was gone. I appreciate Klipsch and all who do get involved on here, whether audio related or not. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
