Dick,

I believe you're right! I actually have an RCA amp here at home that he installed at a location in Wyoming back in the 40's! Geez, I'm not sure Wyoming even had roads yet back in the 40s! He probably got there by Wagon Train...

Yes, Bob was with RCA for he had a comment in one of his earlier posts of a region that he used to service that I came from and began in this field and we had a good email discussion on this region-on one of the theatres that I used to work at.

"Just curious...what is the most noticeable, measurable flaw with Klipsh speakers?"

Lobing, Path length anamolies. I have heard them sound superb as well as Bloody awful. Depends who the chef on duty is I suppose. I spent an evening with Paul w. Klipsch about 25 years ago & gained a lot of insight into the design choices He made. 1st. The Cinema stuff, while maybe using a piece or two of Klipsch designed stuff was NOT designed directly by Him. His Home Hi-Fi speakers were never meant for Cinema work & sound pretty lousey doing it. Klipsch was a cold blooded scientist By that, I mean, He believed his test gear & not so much His hearing. As a matter of fact He couldn't hear well at all! "Too many Colt 45s' going off by My head" He said (Klipsch was an Olympic level Marksmen & Munitions expert). We talked about "Other" manufacturers products & if their were any He admired. "ALTEC LANSING"!! Came the booming reply. Me too Mr.Klipsch..Me too. [beer]
