jwc Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Georgia Home Theater (GHT) has asked me to recruit people to attend the audition of the Palladium line at their store Tuesday, Oct. 28. I believe he told me 6:30 pm. He also stated Klipsch representatives from the company will be there. http://www.georgiahometheater.com/home.html The location of the store is Northeast Atlanta outside the Interstate 285 perimenter. Eric Joy is the manager and he and I stay in touch. He had told me a few months ago about the store getting them and now they are sitting in the showroom. Basically, he will have the P-39F (Flagship) set up in a 2 channel room with top of the McIntosh equipment. The CD Player /DAC combo will be the MAC reference MCD1000/MDA1000. The preamp will either be the tube C1000 or C500. The amps will be McIntosh’s new MC2301 monoblocks (300Watts each). They will also play vinyl on McIntosh’s new turntable. One of the other rooms will be the McIntosh top of the line HT setup with the Palladium series including subs. The amps in this system will be three MC501 monoblocks and an MC252. I’m hoping I can get a confirmed number of people to attend. If enough people sign up, I may take the day off work Tuesday and Wednesday and you forum members can meet at my house before time for a “warm up” for the event. I may even provide a large transit vehicle. If you come early and meet at my house, we can listen to McIntosh and Klipsch speakers at my house until everyone arrives. I have La Scala II’s and some Commercail stuff. My wife (Wendy) even offered that people can sleep here at the house Tuesday night. This of course would be a “campout” in my basement with all my electronics. I’ll even provide some food and beverages. So those who are really wanting to hear the Palladium series at their finest, this is an opportunity to hear them without spending a lot of money to travel…..if that is a concern. You just get here. http://www.klipsch.com/palladium/Home.html jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I would love to come, just to provide support. Hearing them would be great too! [] That would be difficult for me to make on a week night, but I will see if I can do it. You live too far out for me to get to your house first, especially since I am already north.

Coytee Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Boy, isn't that confusing... Isn't this the same place that use to carry Klipsch (LaScala II's on display I think?) and stopped carrying them? I was there once and while jawing around with one of the salesmen, I seem to recall him saying something about they decided to go in the direction of Wilson or something?? (they had some large Wilsons sitting there for something like $60K that we listened to. Either way... good to see that they're carrying them. I'm intending on being in Atlanta the weekend of the 4th and then also the weekend of the 18th as I recall.... hmm.... wonder if I can rearrainge some things....

jwc Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Yes Richard. That is correct. They don't have the Klipsch line up. They do have Wilson's, B&W and one of the High end McIntosh speakers there. Let's hope the Palladium gets Klipsch back into the race there. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted September 20, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 20, 2008 I would love to hear the Palladiums in a home theater arrangement. However, I have to be honest.....I was thrilled with the LaScala II's when I heard them at the Pilgrimage in Hope. Not only did they sound great....but they also looked great. I think they were my favorite!!!![] BTW, I like what you did to your avatar!!!![] Very cool!!!![H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks guys....I really hope any of you can make it. I've decided I'm gonna make a trip over there this weekend to get more details of the setup. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rroobbcc Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I would love to attend, but Tuesdays 28th just won't work for me unless the event is earlier (over by 5:00) or later (after 9:00). I am a GHT customer, having bought a pair of B&W DM 602 S3s and my Adcom GFA-5802 from them, but fear that they continue to move too upscale for my wallet. Please keep us updated on the schedule, just in case I can make it work. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'll post a link on Klipschcorner to help publicize the event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'll post a link on Klipschcorner to help publicize the event I appreciate that. Rob, I hope you can make it. The manager is investing quite a bit to make this event a great one. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I would love to make it to that. And that place isn't too far from me and it's just down the road from my favorite Guitar Center, but it's a Tuesday so there's not a chance I would be able to make it. On a Saturday or early Sunday afternoon even, for sure, but no way since school's back in...makes me sad [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Please go and support your local Klipsch dealer. And buy something if you can swing it. And if you really want to have some fun, ask your sales rep some really tough Heritage questions hee hee. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Deleted by author, enjoy the show, not many store carries our favorite. My apologies to all, I got carried away. I got P.O.ed that day and haven't gotten over it. I'm done now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 You know, this thread is to gather people who might be interested in hearing the Palladiums. That is why it is "stickied" as an anouncement per Amy's approval. I'm doing my best (with my limited time as a working man) to gather as many people as I can to make this a great turnout for Klipsch. If you have interest in hearing Palladiums and want another dealer to do it, then you take the time to work with the dealer to get it together. I will assure you, I won't come in and tarnish your announcement. I'm sorry you were disatisfied with this dealer. They happen to offer me better personalized service than any other dealer I have worked with. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 jc, I understand what you are saying, even if that was not directed at me. I must say that I really do appreciate you're efforts in spreading the word about this. I cannot say enough how much I wish I could be there. If there is ever another demo on a weekend, please be sure to let us know, and I'll definitely be there as long as my car isn't out of gas!

jwc Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 I really wish you could make it. I'm very excited about it. Tuesday night is kinda awkward but it seems they do all there events during the week. My parents live very close to you in Cummings jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoboy Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I am glad to hear they are going to be carrying the Klipsch line again. I purchased my RF-7 and Rotel electronics from them a few years ago. These are great people to work with and easy to get to. The last I heard they dropped the Klipsch line which was a disappointment for me because I was, and still am, thinking of upgrading to the LaScala's. In the meantime I have been trying to get a valid address for DeanG to get my crossovers on my RF-7's upgraded. My biggest complaint with the RF-7 is lack of depth and holographic imaging. The spot or point imaging is fine and the sound stage is huge top to bottom and left to right, but they just sound too hi-fi the way they are now. After listening to a pair of floor standing LSA and their integrated amp it really drove home the point of what I was trying to achieve, but missing with the RF-7. Dayton Dayton P.

jwc Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hello Dayton. Welcome to the forum. Where do you live? Will you try and come to the event? If you come by west Georgia before the event, you can listen to my La Scala II's[]. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 I went to GHT this past weekend. They have the two channel room up and going. The surround setup with the Palladium line isn't setup yet. They do have the speakers in stock though. Everything in these next set of photos will represent what will be at the show. But they will get an updated rack, new power conditioner and a different preamp. This one here is the McIntosh C1000. At the time of the event, it will be the C500 (tubed). Damon, you are welcome to put any of these photos on your website. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
