Bruinsrme Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Just read an interesting article on AVS Forum. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/030213/132189_1.html Living in the Northeast it looks like Klipsch Reference line will have to be purchased from internet dealers.

kjohnsonhp Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Does anyone has insight into the Klipsch channel strategy? There seems to be something big brewing with Best Buy and with what seems like a gap in their Reference Series channel model there might be some big news there, too.

MrMcGoo Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 It is clear that Klipsch wants to use mass market channels for the Synergy line and high end shops for the Reference line. Klipsch believes that the market is segmented along these lines and that they will sell more with this strategy. I do not understand why they are not continuing with Magnolia-HiFi. Magnolia is very high end and highly respected by that market. They must have something lined up to replace Magnolia and Tweeter. If they do not, they have made a very serious mistake IMHO.

Bruinsrme Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 Bill, I agree. I was looking to upgrade my RF3II to the RF7s in 6 months. With Tweeter right down the road the purchase location is a no brainer. They stated in the announcement they would still sell through specialty stores. There are several in the Boston area. I was rudely received and pushed out of the 3 stores because I wasn't spending $50k. I hope Klipsch provides some outlet so these speakers can be enjoyed by the masses and not the few.

erdric Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Just a friendly heads-up. We're discussing this over in the general questions section under "unfortunate rumor" http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=31071&sessionID={257A278A-23D8-41FA-81FE-3252A67776CE} Bruinsrme, I'm in the Boston area. What stores did you go in? I don't go into a lot of the high end places for the very reason you stated, they sneer at you if you're not taking out a mortgage to buy their equipment.

MrMcGoo Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Scott, You may want to move up your plans to upgrade to RF-7s. Tweeter may be having a sale to close out existing stock. Just a thought. If they have a financing package, that could help. For example, 6 months same as cash can be a good deal. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erdric Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Hey Bruinsrme, the Bruins just won in OT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted February 15, 2003 Author Share Posted February 15, 2003 I have been a Bruins fan since I was able to change the channel to Channel 38. Careful you young'in we actually had knobs to change the channel not a remote. I think my gray hair is because of them. But I do have to admit that was a beautiful shot.

erdric Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Well, it doesn't sound like I'm as old as you but I've been watching since 1979 when a certain young defenseman named Bourque showed up. I was 9 at the time and yes, I too had to change the channel by hand. I still remember being in second grade, Mrs. Downey's class, when someone said their daddy was mad the Bruins didn't have Orr anymore. How sad is that?

Bruinsrme Posted February 15, 2003 Author Share Posted February 15, 2003 When Bobby Orr's agent decided not to present the Bruins offer to him and only show him the Blackhawks offer that was a sad day in Boston. Although, Bobby Orr will always be a legend in the eyes of Bruins fans and those who appreciate the sport. Ray Bourque was, unfortunatley, always compared to Orr. Well being compared to Orr can't be a bad thing. Both players have significantly advanced the game as well as the positions they played. Both were class acts and gentlemen. When Ray came back to town for the final time as an Av player he showed more respect and apprciation to the Boston fans, who are the worst including me, than could ever be expected. When Norm L skated in the last Hoooraaaah on Garden ice it was Ray that helped Norm live a dream. Class.... Too bad the B's will never win a cup but there will always be the one player that will win the hearts of the fans. Joe Thorton is that player. I seriously think Kyle Mclaren had the opportunity to be the next Bourque but something happened and I personally do not think Kyle was ready for such a role.
