Maybe they're actually salesmen in disguise 😀 Yeah, I thought that both Hope and Indy had engineering/design folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2434 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 To paraphrase him... Klipsch does not have an engineering staff... Klipsch is 100% sales and marketing... Klipsch products are all made in factories in China... He has lost all credibility with me. I mean, what type of "industry expert" spews total misinformation like that? Burns me up a little. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is stupid, maybe he should do research instead of talking out of his bottom side!!! Yep and what about all the fine engineers at HQ in Indianapolis! Too bad they are not amplifier critics, so they could fire back at this clown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 After rereading his rant a couple times I'm still gobsmacked. JBL has the 4000 Synthesis series that are stellar and were I in the market they would be very seriously considered. The legendary L100s are back as well. Can't get much more retro than that. Klipsch of course has the Heritage products, but the Reference and Reference Premier lines are most definitely Klipsch looking and sounding speakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panelhead Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I remember when PS Audio stood for Paul and Stan. Stan Warren left to start Superphon in Eugene OR. Stan made much better products than Paul. But like many smart designers, Stan was a terrible business manager. Paul obviously is a pretty savvy business manager. Not sure Stan is still around. He moved to his home on the “mountain”. Been hard to find for a decade or more. Owned several Superphon products in the 80’s and 90’s. Never bought into PS Audio after Stan left.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 This is libel. I would not expect this kind of outright falsehood form a reputable manufacturer, but PS Audio is a snake oil operation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to JBL's consumer products, I assume he would also consider Revel's consumer products to be "junk" too? They are under the Harman name, you know.

He talked to us while backing up into the corner, showing how his voice got deeper as he did so. Great demo from the man himself! He gave most of the credit for it's existence to Jim Hunter, who I met then also, half my life ago! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like and watch regularly Paul's "ask Paul" segments and as an audio engineer himself he obviously has a lot of education, experience and knowledge. As to your point, I think you are 100% right.
