jomina Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hi, newbie to the forum Can anyone suggest an alternative to B**e 101MM [:$] from the current Klipsch range? What I'm looking for are reasonable vocal clarity and neutrality (a Yamha DM1000 desk has more than enough EQ power) plus some punch for the AV. The Bose are desperately bad speakers IMHO. The speakers would, obviously, have to perform far better than the Bose, and would have to be similar in price (we'd be looking at 12 units). This is a flexible 4-zone meeting / presentation setup (but that can be configured as 1,2 or 3 rooms as well), and the spakers would be required for AV and live to mic duty. Oh, and they should be wall/ceiling mountabe and also come in white/silver. No subs, either. This is a designer room[] I'm quite tempted by the thought of having (slightly) bigger transducers beside each of the two 100-inch proj screens, and smaller speakers to provide fill. Oh yeah, I'm in Japan [] Any thoughts/suggestions warmly welcomed! Joel / Tokyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Joel, I am assuming your talking something in the commerical market? Here is an article from the Klipsch newscenter-Commerical area. http://www.klipsch.com/newscenter/press.aspx?cid=533 I searched for Dealers in Japan, but it was not listed~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomina Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hi Bill, Thank you for that. Yes, this is commercial use, and thus very cost conscious... I wish it were otherwise, but sound quality comes bottom in the pecking order (didn't used to be like this yadayada). Anyway, those CMS4.1s look very interesting. Any idea on pricing for individual units? There are no dealers here in Japan, although Yamaha have just started distributing the reference series speakers. If the CMS sound anything like those, I'll be very happy[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Jomina, Honestly, I have no idea on their pricing structure. Here is another link of the spec's for the system. http://www.klipsch.com/media/Products/CMS%204.1.pdf You should contact customer support or one of the Klipsch engineers like Trey Cannon for more information. Good Luck, and let the Board know what you end up with. An idea you might look into is because Klipsch (sadly) isn't in the Japan Market- look a companies that meet your needs, and offer service and installation .........i.e. Yamaha. Just an Idea!

Bill H. Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Jomina, Here is a link to a News story about Klipsch and Yamaha........helping Klipsch get into the tough Japan market....... http://www.klipsch.com/newscenter/press.aspx?cid=634 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomina Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 Thanks Bill, Sadly Yamaha do not (yet, maybe) carry anything other than the Klipsch reference range. And as we already have an integrator, too, all I'm looking for are some good cost-performance speakers! Regards, Joel / Tokyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
