tube fanatic Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 This was done in 1956. The results were not stated in the article. I’m surprised that such powerful amps were used considering that PWK had once stated that far less power would be needed to fill a huge concert hall.

seti Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Gray amplifiers were among best available in 1956. It likely had more to do with quality than power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco-d-gama Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 It’d be interesting to see this repeated today in some level of competition between high end manufacturers. No doubt several would eclipse Klipsch but at what system cost? Of course most people are unaware that most movie theaters use Klipsch products and for some reason Klipsch does not inform them as they sit as a captured audience.

Agree you would think when they run through all the pre program bits that the last title they play before the movie would be the Klipsch Keepers of the sound logo. It's the first thing I do when I go to sit down is look to see what brand the speakers are. Normally its either JBL or Klipsch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard It is true but perhaps PWK was working with Hartford locals on this event. Perhaps Jim has some info. @jimhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artto Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Interesting!! I wonder why PWK didn't include this in the Audio Papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
