hooting_monkey Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 If it were possible, I would like some statistics on the use of Klipsch speakers in theaters vs. other companies like JBL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I'd certainly like to think the use of Klipsch in theatres is more, but I don't know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I would only go to a theatre where Klipsch speakers are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the theaters around me don't advertise what brand of speakers they use, just the surround sound format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 just act like you know what you're doing and peek behind the curtain. The surrounds are within easy view. Usually they're all the same brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Don't you visit the same theatre location near your home time and time again. I just know who has Klipsch around here. It's not difficult because were in the same town as world headquarters. If they're trying to get a foothold where else to start but in their own backyard. Besides, Indy has like more movie theatres per capita than most major cities. We're very sedentary here in the midwest. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckears Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 In all of the theaters in my area where you can determine the speaker brand, JBL seems to be the speaker of choice. If I've been in a Klipsch theater, it's been in another location, or it's been shut down. Having said that; the JBL systems are not too shabby, but I'd REALLY like to hear a Klipsch-done-right setup.

auto_xer Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Same here. We have two Regal and a Carmike and they all use JBL. Klipsch or JBL, the goofballs upstairs will still find a way to screw the sound up. I would guess that 3 out of 5 movies in these theaters have horrible sound - and that's not due to the soundtrack.
