Shill? Store info......

Let me just add what I found out. There was a big problem with dealers buying large lots then selling them online DBA (doing business as) someone else to get around the no online sales rule. Of course they couldn't offer the warranty but the prices were way lower. These were real speakers minus the warranty.

The manufacturer had their retained lawyers get most of this stopped but obviously there are a couple of these online stores still doing this. Klipsch claims the speakers have been disassymbled and reassymbled (why). My guess is they say this only to discourage one from buying them.

So the moral of the story is if it looks too good to be true it just might be true, depending on how you look at it.

I went to a Klipsch Pilgrimage a couple of years ago at their Engineering offices in Indianapolis IN. They stated many speakers in the Klipsch line are manufactured outside the US. Particularly the speakers with plastic cases or baffles. At the time they were talking about their THX certified mini-systems and multi-media, but I see the same materials in their newer speaker lines. I'd be hesitant of the China Klipsch'. They may look like a duck and walk like a duck, but I bet it wouldn't sound like a duck. Rotsa Ruck!
