Trey rerouting seadog's Cornwalls' crossovers.


Serious listening. "Didn't your momma teach you boys to take your hats off indoors?"


Is this why the Jubilee sounded so good? The "source"?

Leftovers

Some B&W 601's sacrificed on the altar of Klipsch (Horned Altar?)


The basement under the Museum. It was wet.


A VERY vintage KLH Six (with water damage) in the basement.


LarryC standing between seadog's Cornwall and Roy's Jubilee (the winner of the "Low WAF" contest).


The motel room at the EconoLodge. Your room didn't have a stereo? Well, it probably had a tub that drained.

Instead of a Pilgrim's Shell...

...we got a Pilgrim's Button!

Saturday Night Fever II

The Pilgrims gather under the big top for food and festivities.


Trey's daughter pulls a winner out of the hat. Dtel gets some new Cornwall IIIs!


The Klipsch Community is indeeed a big tent kind of group.

Saturday Night Fever

Saturday Day II

The "Listing Room", featuring Klipschorns, LaScala IIs, and Heresy IIIs.


Inside the Museum, in what used to be Paul Klipsch's live vs. tape demo room.

The Chamber of Error (revealed).


The "step" father of the heresy III, LaScala II, and the newest K-Horn: Mark Kaufman.

Femaville: Your government showing its compassionate side.

Hundreds of acres of unused trailers rest (and rot) at the Hope "Femaville" Airport just down the road from the Klipsch plant.

Saturday day of the Pilgrimage.

DoubleJ leaving the bomb-proof Museum.


Me, showing my support for Klipsch.


"That sucks." Trey looking at a sucking hole in the graph of some modded Cornwalls.

Friday night fish fry.

Think there might be a correlation between cuisine and circumference? Just asking.


Drop your ring in there and say good-bye. "My Precious!!!"


"Got any Diet Coke to go with my fried catfish, fried hush-puppies, and freedom fries?"


"Is this the tryouts for the Hope Community Theater's production of 'Grease'?"

The Farm House: first encounter...live.

Center channel set-up with two K-Horns and a Cornwall. Being driven by Mac, Dyna, or VRD tubes.


Milling about to deflect standing waves at 130 dB.


The Bancorp South Farmhouse.


Scott Stereomaster preamp and a Philips CD/DVD player.


Getting set to glow.

The tunes are playing! Here we come!

i-Groove prototype: Heresy HIPs, a Sonic Impact battery powered T-amp, and a Panasonic CD/MP3 player.

Blogging the Pilgrimage to Hope.

We'll be making the Pilgrimage to Hope this weekend, and while it's not quite as difficult a trek as to Santiago de Compostela, it will be a busy time. We intend to start a blog report on Friday afternoon, with LIVE BLOGGING on Friday and Saturday night.



Perhaps instead of a shell, we should get a horn to show we've made it?

Check back for updates of the journey as we head out Friday morning.
