In 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.

Eager to become more involved with the brand and to learn more information about his system, as well as other Klipsch products, Glenn joined the Klipsch online forum that year. This enabled him to connect with other Klipsch fans from all over the world and share questions and ideas. Upon joining the forum, new users are asked to choose a screen name. Glenn chose the name “picky”, because he considered himself, “Picky about audio”. “Picky” began writing many posts and soon became a very frequent contributor of the forum. Fast-forward to the year 2005. One day, picky received an unexpected phone call. It was from a fellow Klipsch forum member, Michael Colter (screen name: “colterphoto1”). This was the very first time either of them had actually spoken to another Klipsch forum member outside of the forum. Michael explained that he happened to be in the town directly “next-door” to the town in which Glenn lived. Michael said he had driven from his home near Indianapolis, Indiana in order to pick up a pair of used Klipsch Industrial La Scala speakers that he had negotiated to buy with the seller over the phone the day before. Michael was aware, from posts on the forum, that Glenn had just completed building his own dedicated home theater in his basement and was calling to ask if he might come over to see it. Glenn immediately agreed and gave Michael directions to his home. Michael arrived in his mid-sized pickup truck. Glenn met him at the side door and both men immediately felt as if they already knew each other because of all of several years of their typed conversations on the Klipsch forum. Hugs, instead of handshakes, ensued. This was the first time that either man had physically met another Klipsch forum member!

Michael was eager to show Glenn the Industrial La Scala's he had just found for a very desirable price. He set one of the two-piece channels up on the driveway, right behind his truck's tailgate so Glenn could get a good look at it. It was in excellent condition. What the two men did not know, was that over then next ten or so years, Michael would become one of the largest collectors of Klipsch products that was active on the Klipsch forum. At the apex of his collection, Michael had acquired more that 150 Klipsch “boxes”! So large was his collection, that Michael built an enormous pole-barn behind his home, just to set up and house all of those systems. The building even had an electronics lab where Michael would repair any broken speakers. Among the many speakers in Michael's collection were K-Horns, La Scalas. Cornwalls, Icons and even several of the large Pro-sound MCM units. He also had a pair of the famous, underground Jubilees.

After Glenn was finished marveling over the Industrial La Scalas, both men entered Glenn's home and proceeded down to the basement. Michael was a bit taken aback by the complexity of the finished theater. The room was finished in lots of red as the theater carried a Detroit Red Wings, hockey team tribute motif. The room had a 78” Stewart film screen with a High Definition projector hanging from the ceiling. There were four reclining theater seats, a wet bar with three stools, a 6-foot tall equipment rack that Glenn referred to as “The Tower of Power” and, of all things, a real slot machine from Reno, Nevada, near where Glenn and his wife, Verna used to reside.

The 7.1 sound system in the theater was all Klipsch. The right and left front channels were Klipsch Reference Series RF-7s. The center channel was an RC-7. Left and right surround channels were RS-7s. The left and right rear channels were in-wall, RCW-5 speakers and the sub-woofer was a Klipsch RSW-15. The room's ceiling was a sound-absorbent, fire-proof, melamine foam, which greatly diminished much of the unwanted, sound reflection in the room. Michael was quite impressed. Glenn offered to play snippets of a few movies that he had on DVD to demonstrate the room's capabilities.

One particular selection was a race car demonstration film, made by the people who film IMAX movies. It featured Michael and Mario Andretti along with their Indy race cars. The IMAX cameras were mounted right onto Mario's car. During one segment, Mario is speeding down the racetrack, very close to the wall. Glenn told Michael to pay close attention. He said, “You are about to feel the air pressure in the room change!” And, it did! Michael, impressed by the phenomenon, jokingly repeated that phrase back to Glenn numerous times over the coming years. It became their inside joke. Michael left Glenn's house that day and the two have remained great friends for the past 18 years. They have visited each other's home on numerous occasions and attended several Klipsch Pilgrimages together.

Michael knew that Glenn used to eat breakfast every morning at particular diner named, “The Triangle Diner” in the town in which Glenn lives. In 2015, Michael, on his way back home from Ontario, Canada via the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, called Glenn, who was at the diner, to tell him he was on his way to join him for breakfast at the Triangle. It was a wonderful reunion of the two.

Michael is currently a Union member stagehand and works on rigging sound, lighting and camera for numerous stage shows, both small and large, around the country and especially in Florida. He still calls Indianapolis his home. Michael actually worked for Klipsch in Indianapolis from 2006-2008. Michael eventually became one of the Klipsch forum's most prolific contributors.

Glenn is currently a retired automotive designer from a major automaker. He is a founding member of the Klipsch Museum of Audio History and volunteers wherever he can to help the museum and Klipsch. He is a primary content creator for the museum's YouTube Channel and an occasional contributor to the museum's Facebook page. His home theater has appeared in national magazines. It was featured in the June 2006 issue of 'Home Theater Magazine' (now, out-of-print) as well as the December 2006 issue of 'Home Theater Magazine', having been chosen, “Best Small Theater of the Year”. Glenn was also interviewed by then, Newsweek reporter, Daniel McGinn for a reference to his home theater in the book, 'House Lust: America's Obsession With Our Homes”, Pub: January 8, 2008 by Crown Business. Finally, his theater is mentioned in 'Best' Magazine, a publication published by the Best Buy company, which it distributes to its high-end customers. Glenn has since met hundreds of others forum members at many Klipsch pilgrimages at both, Klipsch headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana and at the Klipsch factory in Hope, Arkansas. He has also visited many of the other member's homes to enjoy their setups and has had many forum members attend functions at his home. “Picky” is still on the Klipsch forum as well and continues to reside in Michigan.
