John Pearlman Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I did a little room rearranging today and wound up with a huge space above my equipment rack and speakers. So now it looks kind of plain and I was wondering if there are any audio/Klipsch posters out there? I did a Google search but got nothing. Any ideas?

Kudret Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I would like to have a PWK poster myslf. Does Klipsch have any to give away ? Kudret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 www.movieposters.com or www.allposters.com are a couple places but it would be cool if Klipsch has something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I think these would be a no brainer for Klipsch to sell in the online gear store. However, I am still encouraging them to reorder the black Tshirts, which sadly have become collectors items sometimes sold on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwoods Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Hey, I work for a large format printer. Most posters are run on an off-set type press, with a couple hundred minimum run, hence that $10-15 *retail* price tag each. However, the onesy-twosies are way more expensive, at somewheres around $8-12/*square foot*. A 22"x28" would be between $40-60, possibly less and depending on finishing options. If you have a digital file, I can print it. We use various medias for in-door and out-door use, like vinyl banners and such. I've been meaning to contact the appropriate whomevers at Klipsch, to see if they'd be interested in anything like this. Amy/Trey; maybe you could direct me through the proper channels, in a PM? [] Bring back the blk T-shirts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlton Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 A Klipsch poster would be near the top of my list. How about the one with PWK and the Jubilee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pearlman Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Or how about a remake of the classic LaScala poster that sold on ebay a while back, went something like this: "with a thirty five watt amp and LaScalas you can rock your apartment" and than at the bottom it said "or the whole building". It read something close to that and the first picture was an apartment building with just one apartment lit up with a party inside and the second picture was of the whole building obviously awake from all the noise.

Marvel Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Ironwoods, I sent coulterphoto one of my exploded LaScala pics (very small one attached). I have this as an 18x20 imagae and as a 32x40 image. Right now those are jpg files because they aren't for editing. If someone wanted to do a run of those I would only ask for a small but of remuneration. Be happy to add other text orwork with Klipsch to put any official stuff on there that they might like. After all, I did snitch their logo for the corner. We send PDF files to our local printer all the time, which they are happy to work with. I could do the same. I don't imagine that Klipsch wants to have the inventory to keep track of. Just like the speakers themselves, there is an economy of scale, especially in the printing business. The biggest cost is in the prep work. The paper, even for nice posters, isn't that great. If you are doing offset work you have the negs and plates, and cleanup afterwards. I guess a lot of places don't even have to use film negs anymore, but go straight to the plates, but the more you print the cheaper per piece it gets.

John Pearlman Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Wow that would be an extremely cool poster. But I guess if I get one than I'm not allowed to build Khorns to replace the Scalas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 The exploded La Scala would be a very cool poster. If someone gets that together for a small run of prints, I'd be interested. Also, if some one gets any kind of Klipsch logo printing done, if Klipsch gives permission to offer the posters on the forum, I am sure there would be enough interest to lower the price per copy significantly.

3dzapper Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 The scene behind the LaScalas would make a nice poster too: Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudret Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Rick, That was exactly the same picture I had in mind for a poster. I would love to have that behind my Khorns. Imagine how cool it would look in low light while listening to music at night. Here it is again slightly from a different angle: http://forums.klipsch.com/photos/the_klipsch_gallery/images/666583/original.aspx Kudret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pearlman Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 That would make a great poster. For all the Khorn owners with long walls they should do a long, say 15'x3', "timeline" banner in the same style which would cover the most notable changes and improvements to the Klipsch line. Than at the end they could put the 60th anniversary Khorn so ten years from now we can all laugh about how dated it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pearlman Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 OR, how about a high quality panoramic view of the inside of the La Scala opera house for us 'Scala fans? That would be cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted January 15, 2006 Moderators Share Posted January 15, 2006 I would be up for two of the blown up LS if you are going to do a run. Of course I hope Amy does not jump in here at some point to ruin the whole thing by talking about copyright [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[H] homemadeheresy; (can I call you "DIY"), we print rectangles with red "x's" all the time...........our biggest seller.[] Sure, DIY will work, I've been called worse [6], its been sixteen years since I first heard a set of Klipsch speakers. I've finally got a set of speakers with all Klipsch components, other than the passive radiators. With my little 150 watt amp I'm am totally amazed. The passive radiator adds a little more on the low end, and the k-77 sitting right above the k-52-ti(s) make all the highs so crisp and clean. Just amazing, simply amazing. Stay tuned for photos of my next project[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
