jt1stcav Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Dammit, is real wood veneer too expensive nowadays to apply to all Klipsch home audio loudspeakers? Why cheapen the appearance of an otherwise very fine looking horn monitor? Well, I guess I can scratch them off my list of Klipsch bookshelf horns that I won't be buying. Sorry Klipsch, for feeling the way I do...I'm sure they're very fine sounding bookshelf loudspeakers, but appearance is just as important as sound to me. Imagine how many complaints you'd receive if your Klipschorns were covered in cheap imitation vinyl veneer! Dammit all to hell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minn_male42 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 i would love to see some real wood veneer on the new speakers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 The new RB-75 will be offered in the three Reference wood veneers. By moving from wood to vinyl covering on two other bookshelf models, we've been able to offer increased performance at 30-40% reduction in price for those two models. We expect that better sound for less money will be quite popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Understood, BobG. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather spend the extra 30-40% in price for any vinyl-clad Klipsch loudspeaker to have a rich, furniture-grade solid wood veneer. For cryin' out loud, this is Klipsch we're talking about..."A Legend in Sound!" Not el cheapo Bose, or AR, Technics, and AudioSource speaker systems you'll find in J&R Music World! I'm sorry, but a true Klipsch loudspeaker is only finished in real wood veneer. You won't find other high-end audiophile loudspeakers from other manufacturers covered in cheap vinyl...I hope!
