The Fall 2025 Chief Bonehead Class event has come and gone. As with the previous six classes, I had a great time. Many of you are probably expecting my detailed report about what we saw and heard during the class. Unfortunately, Klipsch corporate mandated that we could not take pictures and could not talk about what we were shown until there is an official announcement about this (likely next year). ☹ I can say that the event was not about the Heritage Subwoofers. However, Roy did show us “proof of life” for the project. I can’t say what that was either. Roy said that if it were up to him, the subs would be out already. To be fair, I can see why Klipsch had to release the new Khorn and La Scala (due to the end of life of the K-401 tooling) and this upcoming item first.

Read MoreIn the year 2002, Klipsch Audio was selling an outstanding, complete compact 5.1 surround
sound system that supported computer users; The Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 System. One
of those systems was sold to a man who lived in Michigan, not far from Detroit. His name is
Glenn Mosby. Being an avid music lover, he quickly fell in love with his new system and used
it for editing both audio and video projects as well as general listening. Within a very short
time, he'd become a Klipsch fan.
