foldedhorn Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 "But I don't agree w/ the socialistic principles of higher priced goods for the sake of saving U.S. jobs." ***WEBMASTER FORCED CENSOR *** "Letting them have those lower paying, mediocre jobs while we have the higher paying jobs that require some knowledge & training." Where the hell do you get off being so high and mighty that you can shrug off someone whose job is "mediocre"? Then feel these people are beneath you? You better remember: 7 December 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. 8 December 1941 the Germans declared war on the U.S. 2 September 1945 The war ended In almost four years the United States "mediocre" factory worker produced over 300,000 planes, over 1500 ships (including aircraft carriers and destroyers), Jeeps, tanks, guns, insurmountable bullets and the way down to GI socks. During the production of all the above things, we also managed to build an atom bomb. All of this these "mediocre" workers that you speak so wretched of, you ought to be kissing their asses, for it was them that put your *** where it is today. As for those "higher paying jobs that require some knowledge & training." I'll show you thousands of college graduates that will be flipping burgers for your lunch tomorrow.

WMcD Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 Ya know, this whole phase shift thing is poorly explained in the technical area. It is really that in a capacitor, the current is the slope of the voltage, hence current is a cosine as compaired to a sinusoidal voltage. Whoops, I wandered into the wrong chat room. Sorry. You're talking economics and politics. =8^o Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 wow, settle down fhorn. u don't have to get personal just caus someone doesn't agree w/ your views. i just believe in free global markets & competition. it's capitalism and it's that simple. i guess in an internet forum, some things get misconstrued. especially if one reads them w/ an emotionally charged point of view. believe me, as a consumer, i put a prioity on buying american 1st. i even will pay more for that priviledge. explains why i've always owned a GM car. funny u use the WWII example. my dad's dad was killed in the battle of the bulge on Xmas Eve. he was wearing those socks. my dad was 7 yrs old. i live with the effect of that everyday. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

cybergeek Posted May 16, 2001 Share Posted May 16, 2001 Yes FOLDHORN, You seem to be ranting & raving about something that has no relation to this thread or the other thread you posted the same rave on - NIKE shoes? How do you manage to buy anything like a speaker or electronics that does not have some foreign made parts in it? And even klipsch with their pro media still employs american people to support sales and administration of them. What is your solution to your problem any way? Or is this just a way to release your anger? Anywho, why don't you at least start your own thread for your unrelated views & not intrude on others that don't really care. Or better yet, print out your posts & take it to a therapist or at least an anger management group. GHS - that's net lingo for Get Help Soon. ------------------ live long & prosper This message has been edited by cybergeek on 05-16-2001 at 02:15 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestonTom Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well I guess I was taken for a fool. I purchased a pair of LaScalas new about a year and a half ago. I called Klipsch on the fact that the serial numbers were not consecutive. I was told several boxes are pre made and when ordered electronics are installed then shipped. So I asked again why arent the serial numbers consecutive? Per Klipsch I was told well, the serial numbers dont really matter, the boxes are held to such close tolerances and before the heritages leave the factory they are tested to each other so they do match. I then asked I also thought the serial numbers also matched wood grain? He replied smartly We dont grow the trees sir. My La Scalas have enormous grain differences between the two and have huge knots on the front show surfaces 2 thousand bucks for something that looks like a high school woods project. . But, I I am sure that if Mr. Klipsch bought a dining room table with the same grain differences that my speakers have, that table would be refused. But, as someone said before you have to buy heritages blind so this is what you get. What is happening to Klipsch? I have dealt with Klipsch in some way my whole life. Either my father buying speakers or my brothers buying speakers and there has never been a bad word to say about Klipsch for 30 years. The only complaint I have heard anyone make was they are too expensive, but they still bought them anyway. Now on your web site I see people complaining left and right, this was broke that was missing why does this hiss. Is this a quality control issue? I now notice your heritage line is has fallen to it's knees. What is the problem?? Klipsch shouldnt worry though my La Scalas didn't come with nameplates so one will be able to associate them with you. I'll just tell anyone who asks, my kid made them in school. Websters unabridged: Forte \Forte\ (f<=o>rt), n. 1. The strong point; that in which one excels. A shame that Klipsch can't live up to the names they pick for their speakers. Reevaluate yourselves before you flush yourselves down the toilet. I am not sure what is going on here. I agree that when you spend a good deal of money on cabinets the wood grain should match. How exact the match should be, I don't know... But I can understand you disappointment. However, you mentioned that you bought new La Scalas for "a couple of grand" and that sounds like a fantastic deal. But wait this does not make sense. Buying La Scalas (even a year ago) would cost much more than that. Were these "mismatched" cabinets part of some "deal" at your local stereo store, or were these in fact bought/ordered from Klipsch? This doesn't sound right ..... -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well the new speakers I have when they switch over to the Reference IV line took 3-4 weeks to deliver... They were mismatched serial# by 2 numbers one was 01 and the other 04 (last two digits) and the wood grain are mismatched... so? they sound fine and the baffle is abs plastic so I barely see the woodgrain. Also a funny note about foldedhorn and everything going off... Its funny that I remember a US company that made glass tv tubes had to close down cause the competition from china were making equal quality products that the chinese were sell for the price that it cost the us company to make internally. Also not wanting to start a war but its not the cost of us employers but its the benefits that are driving the companies to move to other countries. I remember that pensions and health care are more money for the companies than actually paying the person's biweekly paycheck. In china there is no such thing called benefits.
