bugman Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 I've been noticing that the current 4.1 system price has been going down....from 223.99 to 269.99. I think delaying the 5.1 could be klipsch's stradegy to make as much money off of the 4.1 system as they could before releasing the 5.1s. So really, the 5.1 system is probably done...but they just want to milk more money off of people who dont know about the 5.1s. Who knows, the 5.1s may have been shipped to stores already...and will be put on shelves at a specific date. ------------------ Sex is like pizza, when it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, it's still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2021 Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 well klipsch lost alot of costumers that were going to buy the 5.1s cause of the delay...so if they thought they wee gainning money, they are actualy losing money... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kertmit2004 Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 Klipsch is just trying to get rid of the un-loyal customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 Paranoid delusions. Couple of minor snags which have delayed shipment. Wait just about over. Gonna be worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabbycatt Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 You tell'em Bob! Paranoid indeed. Lookin' forward to hearing them. I hope there as good as you guys are saying. Also, you NEED to make arraingments to make ALL of your products available in Canada and elsewhere! We can't even get the stands for the promedias up here.

KLklipsch Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 Hi, Where do you get Klipsch 4.1 for 223.99? I love to know because 5.1 is out of my pocket book. I just wasted $ on a new box. Thanks KL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kertmit2004 Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 Didn't mean to sound paranoid, I personal believe in the company and in the product they sell and know that anything that they put out will be worth the wait! As for the others that claim to be giving up on them and purchase speakers elsewhere; good, better chance of getting one shipped to me b4 they run out on the first shipment....

VIV Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 The next system they make would be best served with an upgrade in driver quality (as opposed to size). It would allow the Pro Media's to finally compete with speakers like the Videologic Crossfires on all levels. The main advantage the Crossfires have over the Pro's is their neutrality, and and overall cleaner sound, but if Klipsch say took the 5.1 speakers (I'm assuming there isn't gonna be a massive difference from sat. quality from the 4.1's to the 5.1's), and upgraded the quality of the drivers down the road, they would quite possibly be the undisputed king of multimedia.

cabeman Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 Message to Tabbycatt: If you're interested in the Omnimount RB-1 speaker stands for the pro-medias you might want to contact Erikson (they distribute audio products to retailers). I phoned their Quebec office and they referred me to a local (Toronto) music store. I had the music store order the stands for me and I had them in 3 days ($106.90 incl. tax). I assume since Erikson has a western headquarters there must be a few retailers as well. http://www.eriksonpro.com/EriksonPro/about.htm Western Headquarters 580 Ebury Place, Annacis Island, Delta, BC, Canada, V3M 6M8 (604) 520-0568 (604) 520-6352 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabbycatt Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 Thank you very much. I will order those indeed. I was told at my local Klipsch reseller in Calgary that Klipsch wouldn't ship them the stands. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Phew Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 Tabby, HSN.com has some really nice metal stands for less than US$40. I ordered them cus they ended up being like US$32 after rebates, etc, and the quality is good. Only go up to 4 ft though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted July 23, 2001 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2001 Bugman-- We certainly are not trying to "close-out" the 4.1s...the 5.1s are not a replacement for them; just a different product. It won't be long now, folks... ------------------ Amy ProMedia Tech Support promediatech@klipsch.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
