Klipsch is as strong as they have ever been. The Heritage line is amazing and the Jubilee is on the way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Nectar Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 What you need to do is have Elon take over an electronics/audio component company, such that you can run your equipment on battery (DC) and therefore no "dirty power". If you could isolate the system from the grid on a strictly DC powered setup the noise floor would be non-existent; the system would have the absolute blackest of backgrounds. There was a company doing similar some years ago (Red Wine Audio??) where they had an "amplifier" device that used a battery as power that yielded the quietest setup in the business. Seems like an idea that could easily be expanded upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he is a brilliant engineer, but he hasn't done anything in the audio world that I know of. I just thought others might know something about him that would shed some light on the OPs question. He's not even an engineer. Economics and Physics, I recommend his book highly, he surrounds himself with the right people, a model very similar to what Howard Hughes did for aviation. I don't think he would have anything to add to a audio/speaker company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he would have anything to add to a audio/speaker company. I did not know that. I just assumed he was either an electrical or computer engineer. I guess we know what that makes me. Surrounding himself with the right people may be more important than his own technical abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I have heard Elon refer to himself as the Chief Engineer at Space X. Didn't find the original vid, just this short. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious_George Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Just because you have a near unlimited source of money does not mean you can buy an existing company and make it better. This has been proven in all product areas. Maybe Elon needs to buy more Fish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom05 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 If Elon purchased Klipsch it would probably be the Jubilee.🤓 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Everyone needs help, even Musk, and accepting the help is why he is successful. IMHO, it would not be prudent to reject his help if it was offered. The way some sound, if he has something to offer they'd rather him take his offer to Bose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the premise of the original question is an issue. The question implies that Klipsch NEEDS help. I didn't know it was so common to think that Elon Musk has the Midas Touch. He is a smart business man. No argument there, but no Midas. I think Klipsch is doing great under the Voxx umbrella. I'm sure Klipsch would like more autonomy, but hey, you have to keep the investors happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just made a lot of people money, including himself, about a billion or so in a few weeks on ONE DEAL. He sure made that better..That's enough to buy a few companies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appears to add to anything he touches so there's that.....And I just like him, he's never done anything to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

314carpenter Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 No thanks. My post will just end up getting deleted again, or I'll lose another friend, or the whole thread will magically disappear just like the last one I tried to post in. If there's another club you hang out in, send me a P M of your contact and I'll stop by there sometime. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
