Guest Blogger: Sante Fe, New Mexico Klipschorn

Today's guest blogger is Iain, aka seti, a four and a half year Klipsch forum member from Arkansas with over 4800 informative, helpful, and occasionally whimsical posts. 

This is a Klipschorn that I get asked about very often.  I have tried to find more information regarding its history and current location but haven't learned anything new.  According to Jim Hunter it was a custom Klipschorn enclosure built in Sante Fe, NM.  The enclosure was not made by Klipsch, and was in the early days of the company when they were largely decorator.   If you wanted them to look nice you hired someone to make them fit into your homes decor.  If this is what their Klipschorn looked like just image what the rest of their home was like! 

If anyone has additional information please pass it along. This photo is just a small portion of a large poster in the factory museum at Hope, AR.

I've seen that picture before and wondered if that was a custom Klipschorn cabinet.

Maybe the decor is that of a big game hunter?  The front horn makes me think  of a rhino or elephant tusk.

Thanks for posting.
