Walk Down Memory Lane on the Klipsch Forum

I have been trying to sign up for the Klipsch forum for 2 days. This explains why all I get is an error code. Paul.
 
I think he was talking about the other place not having a properly functioning website, having just done a disinterested and half-assed rollout of two of their three totl products.where's the marketing on the new Klipschorn and LaScala? these should be regarded as the most significant and noteworthy updates/revisions to Paul Wilbur Klipsch's seminal work, but where is the hype? where is the media blitz? where are the conversations about them? why is the most noteworthy online space for people to discuss them not functioning?
If I were in charge of the marketing, I'd be doing whatever I could to get people talking about them, both online, in social media, in dealers and in private spaces. I'd be organizing listing parties in major metropolitan areas, I'd enlist an army of social media influencers to talk about them and I'd make sure that the release of the products were the most significant and discussed events in audio of the year. All we have is a video from spaced-out hippy fanboy Steve Guttenberg, that doesn't even delve into the most critical aspects of the revisions. the launch of these models is nothing, if not an abject failure.

I agree about the website and your comment on poor rollout. I was kind of touching on both of those and pondering how a company would interest potential buyers of the future when they could care less and their whole world is limited to tic tok and texting and don't ask them to read a book or sit and listen for hours to music.

My best to all of the great folks that participated over there ….
Lots of time spent lurking, many great memories.
Questions still arise from time to time, so thankful for AK

Yesterday was Grumpy’s Birthday; as always—Thanks for AK, Mr Grump!

I wonder. Gentex bought it all for peanuts, and now both Klipsch and Onkyo are releasing new product. It may not be the death knell we thought it was.

I just feel like a part of professionalism is maintaining a good forward facing image to your market. I would at least put up an “Under Construction” page instead of letting it die on the vine.

It takes time for the rope to unfurl and get caught around your neck... again.
 
Went digging for historical Frazier stuff on the old FUG thread and it, too, did not escape the reaper's blocking. Thought...if anything might survive, that could. It all stings, though, and, while I can understand elements of each perspective, internalizing it leaves me thinking we all should've seen further ahead as indeed nothing gold ever stays.
 
The rules for the Klipsch forum on AK state - No Klipsch-bashing!
No sure why they are down right now, but insulting them is uncalled for - insulting posts have been deleted.
Glad to hear their site is back up again!
 
Reading this latest few bits after email notification and the thought occurs to me to mention once again that if you read something, ANYWHERE, and really value the information you have to save it to your files. I have spent way to much futile time trying to find things I foolishly did not archive. I save links and articles now but most importantly the articles because lots of things happen. Sometimes it is funny as I find a nugget of gold and search fruitlessly for the mine only to read that the article/post is 10 years old and all you are going to get is the incomplete snippet.

I get that multi page forum posts have to be copied page by page to a Word document and it can be a PITA but I treasure my files and refer to them on occasion and spare myself the where was that post nonsense, if indeed it even exists anymore. And of course you all periodically back up your complete hard drives, right? Saving those nuggets in more then one place, right?

A lesson I learned when I lost my only copies of CAD and CAM data from an unexpected drive failure.

Absolutely agree, unfortunately I have lost more than I care to admit, my own fault assuredly, hd failures etc…

Zeppelin said it best: Nnnnobodys fault but mine.

As we plod along, life seems to be; a Stairway to Heaven.

Yeesh, cant believe I post such.

Best to all…
