tankhokie Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 ok, it has been a couple of weeks, but i finally snuck a picture of the klipsch speakers in my church. the resolution is poor but it came from a palm pilot...discrete anyway, the only thing you can't see is the klipsch badge at the bottom center of the grills. it says "Klipsch" in a 3-d cut-out letter format (not printed on a plate/placard) and the letters are white with black edges. i haven't been able to find any pics like these on the site or on the net... do you know what they are??? thanks!

sheltie dave Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Tank, I would wager they are heresys, either home or professional. They are not known to produce groundshaking bass, but they probably would be the best component in 90% of the churches where I have darkened the stoop.

garymd Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Dave's right. They look like heresys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 They sort of look like Heresys to me, but without a size, we won't know. Why don't you just ask someone at the church? I'm sure they won't mind, and you'll probably make someone's day (the guy that decided to install them), by noticing. Barring this "honest" approach (it IS church, after all), if I were in your shoes I'd hide a 5 mp digital camera in a modified hymnal. Make sure you wear REALLY thick glasses, so they think the reason you're holding the hymnal up to your face is to read the music. Believe me, I've done WAY sneakier things in church. I'm pretty sure God's on to me, though. fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Looks like the KP250 (a Heresy). Next size up is 32 X 20 X 16 and called the KP301 (Chorus driver compliment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankhokie Posted November 17, 2003 Author Share Posted November 17, 2003 amidst the wife's scornful looks as i was secretly snapping pics of the speakers in church, i noticed how i missed doing sneaky things. fini, i am thinking that the hymnal is not thick enough to hollow out for my larger camera w/zoom. but i am going to figure out how to get a better pic of these. it would be no fun to just ask...so i am thinking of hiding the bigger camera in a heavy coat (as it is getting cold) and then snapping a few up close pics. i will also work on an estimated size for the cabinets. this has turned into way too much fun for what it should be.

DRBILL Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 PWK personally supervised the installation of Heresys for sound reinforcement in countless churches. It was his ideal choice; crisp and clean at the top where the "intelligibility" frequencies fall. There would be few rooms that would require bass support for the human voice. One of his most notable installations was Saint Mark's Episcopal Church in Shreveport in which the Heresys were disguised as chandeliers! Try your Minolta on that one! Why didn't you just ask your clergyman if you could stay a few minutes after services to click a few pics. We are NOT a hard bunch to get along with.

JohnA Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Get on the sound team, like I did! Then you can ride the lift up to see what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankhokie Posted November 17, 2003 Author Share Posted November 17, 2003 drbill, i am sure he would have no problem w/me asking about the speakers and i am sure he wouldn't hold anything against me. this is tough to put into words, it is sort of like playing spy...without the real possibility of being captured and killed. you get to be sneaky and under-handed but all at the risk of being thought of as "possibly disturbed" -- and with the added bonus that you are still doing legal and moral things. i guess deep down, i have an additional (and secret) level to my maslow pyramid of needs...the need to be naughty. it is just a good thing that my naughtyness only extends into the legal/moral realm as i am a God fearing man and also have a healthy phobia of prison . now back to my sneaky ways...heh heh heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBILL Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I know. Really, I do! Believe it or not, even clergymen have a fun-loving, michevious thread woven into the fabric of the "cloth". I have seen brilliant stunts pulled of in the midst of divine service. It is a matter of honor not to give away trade secrets, so you will just have to trust me on this one. The real art involved in all this is the discipline to keep an absolute poker face and otherworldly gaze. Our profession is so intense, that were it not for some occasional holy mischief, we would go quite mad. And I am absolutely convinced that the diety has a sense of humor. Why else did he create orangutans and school boards? FATHER BILL+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Heresy's for sure. Cool church building, too. There's just a touch of irony in having heresy speakers in church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 We were attending a wedding this past summer and while even in the 3rd row, the speech was almost unintellegable. I looked up on the column toward the speaker then whispered to my family, "Do you see why we can't understand a thing they are saying?" They rolled their eyes at me as they read "BOSE" on the speaker. My son laughed out loud of course. He's my only family ally when it comes to audio.

tankhokie Posted December 7, 2003 Author Share Posted December 7, 2003 ok, i think i have some dimensions for yall on these: 26" by 18" by 15" these are rough but compared to 12" ceiling tiles behind them, should be close by 2-4 inches. does that nail down the identity of these?

michael hurd Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Gary, I love your story! I read in the PWK book that he was a very avid churchgoer and was not shy to flash the famous yellow b$ button on his lapel if he didn't agree with the minister.
