3dzapper Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Here's another one of those (add country music theme) "My man's speakers are too big" threads on another forum. I learned a lot about large speakers. I wonder what cindy would think of my Khorns, Belles, Corns, Heresys, KG-4.5s and a LaScala? Not to mention 8 open tube amps in sight.[:$] http://forums.audioreview.com/showthread.php?t=19018 Have fun!!! Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott0527 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Is anybody a member there? I don't want to bother signing up just to make one post. Someone needs to tell Cindy to read up on Paul W. Klipsch. Mention that those speakers are unique, have character and are wonderful conversation starters. When she's entertaining friends, they will marvel at those "enourmous" speakers and she can go into the story of PWK, his life, how they still sell designs very similar to his original designs. They are so much more interesting and romantic than a pair of Paradigms. They are not just speakers, but works of art. Man I could land that chick and she'd be asking me to buy more Klipsch.

thebes Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 No Rick, you're outed. You've been hanging around other forums on the QT. When you're at those places do you wear a trenchcoat with cut-off pant-legs held on by rubber bands? Say missy, come here, I've got something to show you.

sheltie dave Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yea, Thebes, the KLF 30s are too big for Cindy as well. Here is a case where if he gives in now, the rest of his life....[+o(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 When we bought our house my wife and I agreed that the basement was mine to do whatever I want with and the rest of the house was hers to decorate, arrange, furnish, etc. Fortunately for me she didn't want a big stereo or even a TV in our upstairs living room, so the basement is where its at! I started out with Definitive Technology satellite speakers that were about a foot tall and weighed about 15 pounds apiece. Then got rid of them to buy RF-25s. Then got rid of them and my sub to buy my RF-7s. So, in reality, my 5 speakers + 1 subwoofer took up a lot more space than my RF-7s do. I don't complain about the 100+ candles in the house, the many picture frames, the antique furniture, the 7 pillows on the bed, and she doesn't complain about what I do in the basement. I have also replaced every component in my system since we bought our house: TV, CD player, DVD player, receiver, speakers. I think that everything I have now will be here for a very long time. Unless I find someone locally with Klipschorns that is willing to sell them for $1000. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Actually, my parents and brother all complained about my RF-15s. RF-15s!!! They all said that they were "huge" and I didn't need them. All I can say is what bullcrap... What's more is that there was a repeat of it all when my HK 3380 came in, and all this equipment is in my room only..... Things like that really piss me off [8o|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Cindy should bring her problem over here. I'm sure she'd get lots of suggestions as to how to keep the Klipsch and her boyfriend. But Bose are so cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Well, I put my two cents in...Cindy probably won't like what I had to say! Maybe this is one reason why I'm still single. No one's going to tell me I have to sell off a piece of my audio equipment because it clashes with the surroundings. If Cindy accepts this man into her life, then his Klipschorns are part of the deal, unless she's willing to give up something of equal value, and I highly doubt it. Good luck to them both.

steve Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I see our own JIm Tidwell answered her, and it was an excellent answer..but she's talking about Belles, not KHorns. The answer he wrote still stands though!! Good job Jim!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Oops...I missed her second post on that thread and assumed her fiance had Khorns. I corrected my error just now...don't think anyone else has read my post yet. In any event, thanks for the compliment...just trying to save this man's dignity, and his Belles.

steve Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 yeah, you done good Jim! If this guy backs down now..well..it's all over! Hopefully, the compromise will be a dedicated music room! That's what I got! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunburnwilly Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Gosh , the guy only has a pair of Belles and KLF 20's . WTF !!! The next gal that comes into my life will have to accept me and my presently 750lbs of speakers ! And she better not try to put candles or nick naks on them !

tigerwoodKhorns Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The following needs to be explained to Cindy in a delicate way: As the Belles age, they get more desirable and more and more men want them. Gravity is not the Belle's enemy as they get older. Recapping a pair of Type A's is only $100 for high quality caps. Compare that to plastic surgery. Our boy here can enjoy the Belles and his KLF's at the same time without having to get the Belles really drunk. His friends can listen to the Belles without him getting pissed off. He can buy other speakers, listen to them for a year, and them go back to the belles and pick up where he left off. If he sells the Belles, he doesn't have to buy them a house. The Belles will never ask if they look fat (or get fat for that matter). The Belles don't have a mother that will come to visit. and the biggest item: He can listen to the Belles at high volume for hours on end and enjoy it. Once Cindy can do all of the above, he may consider selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
