I am trying to round up the interests at Klipsch to attend CanJam in Ft Lauderdale this spring. If we attend, what kind of things would you like to see and hear besides our headphones? Any particular set ups for amps or demos? What products would you like us to compare with ours? How many people are interested in having us come to the event or would it be better if we sponsored an event in the summer at our company laboratory?
Come to CanJam! This is a great event and it wouldn't be the same without Klipsch. I wouldn't mind hearing some of your speakers. We have a local audio store that will have a room with speakers. I'm pretty sure we could make some room for some Klipsch Heresys. I heard an older pair last weekend at the Mayberry on Acid Meet paired with a Moth 300b Paradigm and it was great.
I for one think it'd be cool if Klipsch bought out a room for a speaker-array demo! Ok I know CanJam is about headphone audio, but come on, Klipsch is all about the speakers!

Vote: which other IEM for my future Klipsch IMAGE review?

I agree with this since many around here move into speaker at some time and back...

I would think that a wide range of your products (not just the headphones) would appeal to the Head-Fi crowd. If you're looking for suggestions of what to bring in addition to the headphones I'd suggest items from both the Ipod speaker line and also the computer speaker segment at a minimum. And as suggested by others, most of us with headphone rigs also have a speaker rig of some sort. Whether that's HT, 2-channel or both we don't limit our insanity to headphones.
And I'd certainly love to see Klipsch there regardless of what they bring. More choices is always better in my book.
If Klipsch wants to bring speakers, I will find a way to accomodate them. Computer speakers is a great idea, in particular with the interest in computer as a souce and office rigs.
Yes, we definitely need and want Klipsch at CanJam '08. Any and all gear you would like to show will be welcome. As others have already mentioned, many of us are also into or interested in speakers, and the electronice from your other lines would be great to se as well.
Thanks for making the effort. Hopefully the powers that be at Klipsch will agree that CanJam is the place to be.

You know, thinking about this something just occurred to me. CanJam has to be about one of the better bargains for audio companies. You guys (the organizing committee) probably don't charge anywhere near what the big conventions do for floor space and while the foot traffic isn't what CES would generate the press coverage in past years has been pretty phenomenal. Being there just about guarantees a mention in Stereophile, Positive Feedback, and many others.
