DizRotus Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I would describe their products as reproductions, rather than counterfeits. It should be clear that any source of badges for Klipsch, Yamaha, Thorens, TEAC, and others is not providing genuine Klipsch (or Yamaha, Thorens, etc.) badges. They are providing reproduction badges that are unavailable from Klipsch. Emile, @Emile, and I purchased badges from the referenced source. The plastic badges I received were inexpensive and arrived quickly. The quality is OK, not great, but worth the price. If you are looking for genuine Klipsch parts, then, by all means be aware that these inexpensive plastic badges are reproductions. BTW, that’s a reproduction Jeep, although the wipers could be OEM. 😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Seems like this would be a violation of Klipsch's trademark. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that Klipsch doesn't offer these and others. People are forced to look elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make a few things with Klipsch or the logos but we are working with them, they know and are in the middle of changing the gear store to have things people may actually want, and what if anything we can make, we sent them some ideas. Look at these people, they make any brand you could want, I can make these and have made a few over the years but never on this scale. They have any brand you could want, or you could make up something. I should make a joke one about bose, got me thinking now. https://www.ebay.com/sch/brwm05/m.html?item=173249919879&hash=item28567ffb87%3Ag%3A4I0AAOSwJtdaLvD2&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think, if someone that was actually authorized to produce, say, a couple of different Heritage style badges, then the "black market" and ridiculous prices on the bay might come to a screeching halt.

Nahhhhh..... Yes, it’s true. Klipsch is honestly working on the gear store. It’s slow going, but we are moving forward on putting gear online that fans actually want to purchase. It is my understanding that it will be ran by Klipsch and not a third party vendor. This alone is a huge step forward in my opinion. It may be a few months...but definitely stay tuned! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 IIR the reason Klipsch did NOT sell Badges is for the concern some people would make Klipsch knock-off speakers and put official labels on them. Most anybody on this forum would recognize a knock-off or clone pretty quickly but the average public member probably would not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Not even close. If that were the case I could have never ordered a badge to match my current 396s. They never asked for a serial number or if I owned a pair. I could have put it on anything. They sell what they have and when they run out and there's not an overwhelming demand for something they won't stock them anymore. You want them to stock badges for a 20 year old speaker? Some parts are discontinued on automobiles after 10 or 12 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side, it's amazing how you can still get many parts for cars that are over 60 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
