Restored to Greatness

Back in January I showed you the Brociner Klipschorn , in dire need of TLC. Now restored to former glory, this Klipsch classic c. 1947 is proudly on display in our engineering lobby. I even jumped a little this morning when I walked by and heard sound coming from it. It actually crossed my mind that...

The Warmth of the Khorn

While most of us prefer the cool side of the pillow, cats seem to be partial to areas that generate a bit more heat. Exhibit A: these two felines appear to be enjoying the warmth of the vintage radio immensely...or maybe it's the vibe from the Khorns that's keeping them cozy. Either way, it doesn't...

PWK: A Salute

Every so often I get an email that makes me smile and reminds me of why we do what we do. And it never fails to surprise me what a lasting effect Paul Klipsch had on people's lives: My name is Gary, and I want to express my gratitude to truly a genius, a great human being and my hero indeed. I was...

Because Everyone Needs a Cool Background

Be sure to check out the newly added PC desktop designs (" Details ") taken at the Klipsch Museum of Audio History by none other than Michael Colter - photographer and Klipsch fan extraordinaire - featuring close-ups of classic wood finish, grille fabric, and logos, like this one of an early...

Cornetist's Joy

Another retrieval from Hunter's Hope excursion is this old....old....old crate full of PWK papers. I would love to go through them one by one, but they are in pretty fragile condition. I was able to take a quick snap as Jim flipped through the contents...revealing this collection of Cornet Solos...

Now That's a Record!

Hunter brought back dozens of unusually sized LPs that look like this one - big, red, semi-transparent, and a bit weathered - which are 1950s sound effects records by the World Broadcast System. Paul apparently had a stack of them a few feet high. They are cool looking, but what would be even cooler...

Klipsch Auction

I mentioned a while back that we are planning to auction a few pieces of history - we would love to see these items restored and put to good use in the hands of enthusiastic PWK fans! This Linn Sondek LP-12 turntable is another offering, which was in use during the mid-70’s and early 80’s...

PWK's Question Machine

Our resident historian Jim Hunter just got back from a week long excursion to Hope and brought back some truly fascinating PWK memorabilia. This gem is Paul's old-fashioned magnetically-based question answer machine. I can just picture him bringing it along to company meetings. [ImageAttachment]

The Sound of Music

I found this image in our archives today. I have no idea what the story is behind it, but I can only imagine what it must have sounded like to be there live with those massive pro-speakers. For some reason, Black Water keeps running through my head. It just looks that doobie-fabulous. But the title of...

PWK: Speed Blogging

Boy, did time get away from me today. It seems as the days get longer, the time for work gets shorter. I've got exactly 10 minutes to dedicate to my blog.... PWK, May 14, 1974, California! Note the inside of his jacket! Phew, just under the wire. [ImageAttachment]
