This forum and the company thrived for more than 20 years with what you're calling bull on here.      Evidence shows that it didn't work out as the wise thing to do. Due to what happened, members who gave money and speakers to the museum stopped giving and left. Members who were on here spoke highly of this place and Klipsch in general and those feelings changed, and for a good reason. 

If you need to know, i was making $15.00/hr at General Motors and i am now making $31.00/hr driving a truck.

There are the doers who chase the dream and then there are those who only want to stand on the sides criticizing and yelling doom and gloom and never actually tried for their dream.     So do you tell your friend who has his own business/dream that he is a fool and should give up and that he should follow your path because you definitely seem to be full of “inexperienced” knowledge and total understanding based on never actually opening/operating a business..?

Beautiful song and video... Joni Mitchell - River    

Imo, you are looking at it backwards. Given the reason there is new ownership we have to look at it from their perspective...Why and who actually buys speakers for the house? With SO MUCH folks can spend their money on how much is going for an old style stereo rig? 🤔   You mentioned Klipsch charging $10,000 for a speaker you are designing which evidently would compete with the RF-7s which are made currently in Hope--I gather the new ones sell for less than 4k a pair, but again, who is gonna pay that price, you could buy a (couple) of decent HT packages or slim Sound bar for less.    Again, Klipsch the company will live on. The people you talk about "dying a slow death," aren't the ones who sold (or bought) the company, but the ones Trey and others are talking about.

IIRC, the minimum wage in 1985 was ~ $3 per hr. From what you have typed in this thread, I can see why you're not making 3x that wage. 

Anyone interested?

I'm open to offers...

anyone?

After the holiday bump.
