    Look at the specs...not only do they spell weight " wight " :) but any speaker that large only weighing 25 pounds GROSS is a piece of junk.....give it a smack with your knuckle and wait for the echo :)

    Just for reference, B&W 805 2-way monitors weigh more, have the same response and cost less than the "$3100 MSRP" of those.

    People who actually buy white van speakers have no idea what a $3100 speaker really looks like.

    They're on the Long Island Craigslist all the time also. I flag their ads whenever I come across them.

    LOL $25 pounds!

    I have no problem with a company starting out and outsourcing the production of the unit in China. Everything (well, not everything) is made in China. BUT, I think the heat you all are giving Kirsh (sp?) is well deserved:
    1) They have obviously taken a name to play off of Klipsch
    2) They are obviously deceptive and/or not operating in good faith
    Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:
