Probably cherry if I can get lambs wool grills. Not that one? Wait…. A different speaker is built? What about the one in the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cabinet build and final inspection, selection/matching of drivers, and crossover settings will all be personally supervised by Sr. Engineer, Roy Delgado, Jr. (Chief Bonehead) who will hand sign them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the picture is a laboratory prototype, basically a current AL5 modified with the new components for testing. It is one of the pair that we heard at the Chief Bonehead class back in March (https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/224127-chief-bonehead-class-spring-2024-new-iterations-of-the-la-scala-and-klipschorn-coming/). The winner of the contest will get a pre-production pair. Those are the pairs built to work out the steps in the production process before final production starts. So, they will essentially be a production pair, just built under Roy's supervision. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an example of what it will be, the photo is an earlier prototype. What will be given away is the final version before production. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught that too @Vivi but if PWK came up w/a nickname or name I'd be the last one to question what he called anything. Chief Engineer Roy Delgado was prolly called Roy UNTIL PWK hung the moniker "Chief Bonehead" on him. Now maybe he did and maybe he didn't THAT I don't know but... Nope, not sayin a word here. I just scrolled on down. 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per PWK it doesn't have an anus and thus has a surly disposition. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the nickname PWK gave to the MCM 1900 System per @kharmondds: "Your explanation sounds strangely familiar to what is called in layman's terms, "Motengator syndrome," after the motengator, generally accepted as being the meanest animal on the planet. The motengator has the head of an alligator at one end, and the head of a crocodile at the other, and the reason he's so mean, is because he can't defecate. Paul Klipsch had an incredible vocabulary, I had to look up the meaning of motengator years ago because I didn't know what the term meant. This must be why he used motengator to describe the mcm 1900 stacks. Kevin" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 31 Author Moderators Share Posted May 31 23 hours ago, The Dude said: @Travis In Austin any up date? Should be up and running by this weekend. Doing testing, verification, etc. I’m hoping we are all set to go, and we can do the drawing around the 4th of July Holiday, then the sponsor whose name is drawn can get their selection in so when it’s time to run the Pre-Production Beta down the line everything is in place.

MMurg Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I got an email. Perhaps they are giving museum members first access. @Travis In Austin or @Chief bonehead, are we allowed to share the details here yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to give our members a bit of a head start, remember, the AK6 Klipschorns we did in a similar fashion, those entries sold out in less than 10 days. Here you go! I'm going to lock this thread so that comments are all in one place. Travis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
