I hate to say this, because I'm no fan of Klipsch speakers, but I tend to agree
with them.

The issue is, how "similar" is "similar"?

If you say that a Saturn is similar to a Mercedes, the statement is literally
true -- they're "similar" in that they're both automobiles, and will move you
from point A to point B.

But the word "similar" implies a greater degree of "likeness" than simply
performing the same general function, or using the same sorts of components.
When you say these speakers are "similar" to Klipsches, the reader might
reasonably assume that they were similar in quality. And that's what has Klipsch
upset.

Are they close in quality to the Klipsch? If they are, and you can demonstrate
it, then you should have the right to say so.

But if they're "similar" only in that they're all-horn systems -- well, that's
like saying a Cessna is "similar" to a 747.

And they were right to do so. They own the name Klipsch, you do
not. How would you feel if you owned BMW, and I advertised my
Yugo to be like a BMW because they both have 4 wheels? I am sure
you would complain.

Klipsch has been especially vigilant on E-bay lately due to
a large amount of grey market equipment that turned up.

How do you know they were Klipsch lawyers?
How do you know it wasn't someone impersonating them?
I could name a candidate.

It's lying like this that qualified you as a SCAMMER on our comprehensive
list.

MORE RIPOFFS FROM HYDEBEE!

Hydebee,

I think you're targeting the wrong people. I'm presuming eBay sent you the
warning, not Klipsch. eBay prohibits use of "bait" words in auction titles.
This screws up people actually searching for Klipsch items, by "polluting"
their search results.

In the early days at eBay, people were putting "Western Electric" and
"Marantz" in all their titles, just so people searching would see their ads.
This is the basis for the action by eBay.

Hey Bee,
You may want to go back and check your own ad. I just did, and on
your listing under brand, it says klipsch!
I'm sure it's just an oversight on your part.

Not trying to be a turd hydebee, heck I even bought a Pioneer RT909
reel to reel from you in the past!

Larry

They own the NAME, and as a fan and owner of the famous Klipschorn and
Heritage Family, you are SCAMMING by stating it's KLIPSCH, you have a HORN
LOADED system PERIOD built by Dick, Harry, and Steve.

Stop trying to sell and make the EXTRA $$$$ by using THEIR name when it's
NOT theirs, and I wouldn't buy it.!

If I wanted to sell my TRUE Khorns on Ebay I'm sure Klipsch wouldn't have
any issue!

just MO.
