PWK: Used Both Sides of His Brain

Although I cannot divulge the contents of the folder (translation: Hunter did not let me open it), I can share this PWK-scribbling on the cover featuring what looks to be an early logo prototype ...which, it turns out, was likely created by the man himself. Who knew? [ImageAttachment]

PWK - Pre-"The Feminine Mystique"

From the Pine Bluff Commercial , Wed, April 12, 1961. I love the use of Barbie to help explain the oh-so complicated positioning issue to the fairer sex. My favorite quote in the article: "He (PWK) warned against the temptation of getting too close to one speaker, commenting, 'If you stuck your...

The Legend of the Glass Klipschorn

Once upon a time in the early 70’s, a Plexiglas artist paid a visit Klipsch, deciding this would be a great project. The president of the company at the time, along with the artist and some help in the cabinet shop by the Khorn builder, spent over 1000 hours building it. Very tight tolerances were...

Slug Bug!

I really like something about this photograph of the plant in Hope, but can't quite put my finger on it. "Genuine" is a word that comes to mind. Or maybe I'm simply remembering the bright red VW Beetle I had in high school, and how fun it was riding through town watching people punch...

The World Keeps Getting Smaller

This vintage ad circulated around the same time I was learning to walk and eat solid foods. I'm posting it today not only because it's cool, but because I happened to virtually bump into one of the men responsible for its creation. I know many people think Twitter is a passing fad and a waste...

Home of the Klipschorn

I blogged a while back about two vintage "Klipsch & Associates" signs that were uncovered at the plant in Hope ( here and here ). They have since been retouched, framed, and hung with pride at our engineering facility in Indianapolis, serving as a reminder of our roots for future Purdue...

The More Things Change...

...the more they stay the same. I found this Belle Klipsch ad photo today in our archives, and it immediately brought to mind a photo taken just last year for Mirage . I love the similar theme...that music is meant to be shared and enjoyed, and how it is an essential part of our lives and the lives of...

A Banner Year

About a year and half ago, I posted a picture taken of Klipsch Employees circa 1975. This was taken a mere one year later, and you can see the head count nearly doubled. I'm not sure what attributed to the surge... either business more than doubled that year, or perhaps the earlier picture was taken...
