The venders rent the rooms there and you just hop from one hotel room to the next to see what the next place has set up. Chicago is kind of a big city, ya know. I am sure there is a room available to your liking. Not too far down the road from a direct flight either, JIC you weren't driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Do a search here on Axpona. Awhile ago. Seem to recall no Klipsch. Maybe now but not knowing. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artto Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Dave A said: Beetlejuice and Chiraq Almost all the Chirag crap is located in 2 or 3 neighborhoods. That's NEIGHBORHOODS - out of a metro region population of aprox. 9 million. And those neighborhoods are located 25 to 40 miles from where AXPONA is held (Schaumburg - NW suburbs). While I don't condone the violence, on the bright side, it seems Chicago is one of the few (only?) major cities to not have seen any terrorist attacks. I figure the terrorists figure "what are they going to do to terrorize anyone? These people are shooting their own kids in the park." Of course it's usually very localized but the impression one gets from the media would have you believe otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At AXPONA many (most?) of the manufacturers let their dealers do the showing at the show. It's not really a manufacturer's type of event like CES or NAMM. Klipsch is usually represented by Chicago dealer Saturday Audio Exchange at AXPONA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently bought a very, very nice Mc6200 integrated from Andy at Saturday Audio. Seems a nice fellow. Had a good conversation on audio in general and Klipsch specifically. I believe he said the store stocked a few Heritage line and the new Forte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
