Thx for sharing this. Brings back memories from around this time when I was a Klipsch dealer and was invited to Hope by my friend and Klipsch rep., John Miller. That trip included some Paul supplied class training at the factory, of course a spin in the anechoic chamber as well as a visit to Paul and Valerie's home for a piano recital comparing a Bösendorfer and Steinway Grand Piano as well as some Paul made recordings on his K-horns . Didn't know it/realize at the time, but what a privilege. First time I had tasted catfish and still chuckling at the memory of dinner at a local restaurant that didn't take credit cards and all the various Klipsch folks in attendance, digging into their respective pockets to get enough cash together to pay the substantial bill.
1:00 The way men of this generation walked with piqued curiosity is something of a bygone era, plus the proper slacks and button-down shirts. Reminds me of my great-grandfather who was born in 1910.
Ok, that was my dad (Richard) who bought the tomahawks for Paul and Rudy. They were both at dad’s company HQ. Bose Company really wanted dad to move from carrying Klipsch to Bose. Did not work. Would never work. :) My dad had his picture of Paul with Rudy hanging on the wall of his man cave until he died. I have couple copies of that picture signed by both. Those were the days. Anyway, IF anyone would like many more fun decades of history to discuss, let me know! I have many many memories as fresh as yesterday.
This is pretty awesome to see. As a young person just now getting into the hobby, it’s really cool to see where it all came from. I put a lot of respect into these speakers, even if they weren’t designed by the guys of this time. I own a pair of the Klipsch heritage promedia 2.1’s and a pair of the fives, they’re amazing!
Long gone days from the past. Now days if you need a replacement part you must give Klipsch all your personal data and serial numbers before they will even give you the middle finger. A few of their speakers are worth keeping forever but good luck with getting any customer service from this company.
My cornerhorns were born in these spaces about this time (I think) thanks for saving all this history

Thank you for sharing this. It is always amazing to see behind the scenes.
It's the taller gentleman, with the glasses and the all white shirt and gray slacks, Paul Klipsch.
