    • During the last week of June, @Chief bonehead Roy Delgado, Jr. will be doing a live presentation with Mark Casavant  (possible surprise quests) on the soon-to-be-released La Scala AL6 System during the last week of June. (I will update on exact date/time, platform). He may also talk about some other things in Heritage pipeline, joint ventures and maybe some other surprises. There will be an opportunity for those watching the live presentation (general public)  to ask questions during the live in  "chat."   For anyone who has watched a Listening Lounge in the past you know that that questions fly and it is impossible them to see them all, let along answer them. So, I am posting this thread here so if you have questions about the AL6 System, active cross-over, etc., integration with the forthcoming Heritage Subwoofers, I am posting this thread here for Forum Members to ask questions which I will get to Roy and Mark in advance of the live presentation to give them an idea about what people are interested in knowing.    Ask away.    Travis

    • Last couple years everything has went way up or if not they have to cut corners and we are stuck in the middle…with our dollars
    • Why do people take what they read on the internet as gospel? A competitor is bashing another competitor's product? Say it isn't so.  Today, it is almost impossible to get anything that doesn't have something made in Asia. Not all of that is bad. Just like the US, we can make very high quality stuff, but hardly anyone wants to pay for it. So they make the best they can to fit a price point.    Anyone who has ever worked in any kind of manufacturing knows that product quality is not the top concern. What usually is the top concern is making good enough, repeatable, and quantity of product to fit a price point and margin.   What is super expensive now? WOOD, get a new fence put it, it will make your head spin.  Having seen Forte IV's next to Forte I's the cabinets of the I is much thicker and higher quality over the IV.  My guess is they took some more profit out of the cabinet and put it into new networks and horns.  People tend to think that Klipsch is trying to make the best sounding speaker they can. In reality, they are making the best speaker they can to fit a certain price point and profit.  If you think they will not change something to save .05 cents per speaker you are kidding yourself.  Company's go out of their way to also not compete with their own products. They will cheap out, or change lower end products to keep people interested in the higher end stuff.    The Razz is 50% more in cost over the Forte IV, so it be higher quality.  But all this is mute, we mostly care about sound, hopefully they are 50% better in sound quality. But they do also look the part.

    • Well, after many many many years, there is finally an opportunity to move the big system out into a larger room of its own.  (To be exact, that's 20 years.)   But I seem to be facing a problem with logistics.   My surrounds consist of two RS-7's and two RS-3's.  The RS-7's have been assigned as side surrounds, with the RS-3's being rear.  In their current layout, they're on the back wall of this room, with the 7's on the outside, 3's on the inside.  That won't fly in the new room.     The new room is 19.5' long by 15' wide.  At just over the half-way point, the room will be cut in half with a general sitting area.  Above where this cut-off is there is a ceiling fan and an in-ceiling vent.  Here's where the issue lies.  The opposite wall of where the TV is, is a brick fireplace.  I'm not interested in trying to fight with mounting speakers into the brick.  The RS-7's will go on the side where they belong, but I need to somehow mount the 3's angled just behind where this seating position will be - from the ceiling.   Does anyone have experience with ceiling mounts, and have any good recommendations for using them?  The A/V shop I have been using for install doesn't deal with them, and while I'm sure they'll install them for me still, they don't sell them.
