dougdrake Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Ross - I believe that a major audio company will be introducing a new 7.1 channel system soon based around clock radios. Their theory that small is good has extended to components as well. They've been buying up 30-year old pocket transistor radios (the ones with the 9V batteries) and stacking them into a monoblock array that measures a whopping 11.5 inches tall. The LFE (Little Frequency Effect) channel will be derived by matrixing the "buzzer" sound from all 7 radios into a dedicated channel driven into a toilet-paper roll with a tissue stretched over one end. I'm putting a deposit down tomorrow so I can get the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 There is not much I can add to what has been said above. Our many hosts and hostess rolled out the red carpet, Arkansas style. We were careful to not pilfer any items and strip searches were only threated. There was also discussion of Ross V.'s avatar. On close inspection, it does indeed appear to be a cactus.

willjam Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Hi guys, I have uploaded the photos. I apologize for not placing captions under each picture. To do that would take more time and thought you might want to see what I have. I will make an attempt to caption some of the photos this weekend. To view go here: http://photos.yahoo.com/willjam_99 Enjoy Bill J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhawk92 Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 All- I am VERY envious! Please, PLEASE count me in on the next pilgrimage to Hope! I am going through all the pictures now and living vicariously through all who made the journey. As George C mentioned earlier, it took a lot to keep me away this year, and if there is a "next time" I'll sign up for vacation now! It is quite rare and wonderful in this age of big business to have a company like Klipsch, who not only host this incredible BBS, but then to entertain people from all around the country and obviously treat them well. Glad I am part of the Klipsch family. Oh, and last weekend, the Weather Channel was interviewing someone, forget the location, but they had a Klipsch baseball hat on!!! I see a "Where's Klipsch?" campaign ala "Where's Waldo?" in the future!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bev Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 I am SOOOOOOOOOOO jealous! I can't say anything else. Can't talk while I'm pouting. Bev ------------------ Love & kisses on your Klipsch's!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Bev - We missed you there. In fact, your name came up a few times, wondering if you would make it. We could have used a little more balance to the predominantly male crowd. Becky (Steve P's wife) did her best, but she was all alone until Saturday for a while, when Trey Cannon's wife joined us. Next year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myram Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Hey jhawk92....... I'll pick you up on my way by Conn. when I go next year too. Already told the wife we are going next year and she agreed. ------------------ Klipsch Quartets Adcom GFA-555 Musical Concepts Modified NAD 1600 Pre/Tuner Sony C-67ES CD Player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Man Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 All Right, All Ready. Were all jealous. Now if you could post some names to go along with all those ugly faces in those pictures, it would be nice. Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BobG Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Ray, I had previously created a user profile in Yahoo. When I clicked on the link it prompted me for my password. I entered my Yahoo password from that profile and bingo! I was in. Great photos. Nice to put faces on those Avatars. In some cases the people start looking like their avatars. Kinda like dogs and dog owners. I'm going to be in rvtaylor's back yard next week. Hope I can use my Klipsch pull in case I get into trouble there.

dougdrake Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 BobG - I'm also in rvtaylor's backyard. Can you tell us where and when you'll be here? Maybe we can drop by whatever store you are at and meet 'cha. If you'd rather, you can send me an email at ddrake@uswestmail.net.

RossVTaylor Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 BobG, Dunno if I can help... depending on who stops you, mentioning my name might get you TWO tickets! I sent you a private message. Dinner's on us! Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossVTaylor Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 I think I've posted most of my photos now. One of my favorites is on the last page. It's a brand new Heresy II in front of the Paul Klipsch School of Engineering at New Mexico State University. One of PWK's "boxes with holes" stopping for a quick visit...

jhawk92 Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 Myram- Sounds like a plan! Would be fun to do a road trip, though it would be a long one. I guess a vehicle would be good in case any purchases are made. Now I just gotta convince the wife to go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
