Default A Legend in Sound


A Memory and a Celebration
Paul W. Klipsch was a man with a vision - He believed that a person should be able to listen to music in his or her home as if the concert were happening in their listening room. Paul W. Klipsch brought this philosophy with the design of the original Klipschorn and realized it further in the Heritage Line speakers.

A little background on the "man" who was never afraid to say "BULLSHIT"....Klipschorns are the longest continuous production loudspeakers built.

jetblack.......Thanks for the photo. Paul had a few years on him, even then. I have never seen the plexiglass mock up before. Very interesting.
