CECAA850 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Has Voxx improved Klipsch electronics? If yes then awesome for them. If no it could hurt the brand as that's all they do is electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We old geezers refuse to realize that big box speakers are a pimple on an elephant's arse when it comes to the market for audio. I don't know, but I have a hunch that Klipsch is only alive because it moved to computer speakers, earbuds and car audio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 If some of Onkyo brain power spills over into Klipsch powered sub amps that'd be a good thing I'm thinkin'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onkyo/Pioneer/Integra will be part of Premium Audio Company which was created last year, Klipsch and the rest of Premium Audio is all under Klipsch management team. I wasn't aware that Sharp was actually making Onkyo gear, or that's what I glanced from the article. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came out with the Linytron Plus which was in decent standing with the Sony Trinitron tech. Talking awhile ago like the early 80. Can attest to the early take on the definition, which I used.

Just rhetoric so... some can see into the future. Klipsch that is Mr. Klipsch, is likely a gift to which, we are still reeling about. Listening now... thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
