skrapid3 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 After finding myself looking at the very same pictures of Klipsch's Premiere line (hint: found them on the homepage of the german distributor) for weeks now I thought to myself we should discuss that exciting product here again. I was looking forward to get some news about the Premier line from CES but was utterly disappointed. I understand that CES was used to launch the new Reference lineup. BUT those new speakers are more of an evolutionary step and will IMHO hardly motivate anybody with an high-end Klipsch setup to rush out and buy them. I'm a (proud) owner of the complete THX2 Ultra setup, which I'm very satisfied with in general. BUT since I saw those pictures of the Premiere line (as it looked by the end of 2005, it is still work in progress I suppose) I was simply awestruck. Most amazing and most beautifull pair of speakers I have ever seen - and I have seen quite a few... I even prefer (the looks of) them over JBL K2 S9800's - and that's quite a statement. I take it that the Premiere line is still "work in progress" (as it was for the last couple of years...). Nevertheless I have some questions: - Was there any hint of them at this years CES?!? - Is at least the design (shown at the german distributor's homepage, sample unit dated August 2005) FINAL? As I said before: Most awesome looking (horn) speaker ever IMHO! PLEASE do not change a thing!!! - "Stupid" question but any hint about the expected timeframe for the launch would be VERY much appreciated. (CEDIA 2006 would be a great opportunity to launch something like that ;-) ... - Targeted price range? - Is any (all) information from the "official" press release from last year still valid? - ARE THEY COMING for sure, or is even that uncertain at the moment? - Anyone here ever got in touch with one of those babys? I'm desperate to get any info/hint/speculation there is?!? THANK YOU in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.records Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Those pics sure are disappointing. You can't hardly see any detail of the speakers. I don't know how much they will be, but I do know they will be out of my price range. But a burger and fries is out of my price range right now.
