Thanks, Dick for that verbose acknowledgment of the obvious. My native Louisianians have a knack for tact!
Anyway, will you guys have a tour of the plant? The last time I was in Hope, a couple of years ago, I was given a hearty handshake and the key to the Klipsch museum. That was interesting, but...
I toured the plant twice in the late 70's/early 80's, with the last tour including the R&D facility where they had just constructed the new anechoic chamber. The chamber has a 4-ton door (watch them fangers!) designed for testing the corner horn (hm? go figure.)
Back then, only one or two types of speakers were constructed on certain days, and each speaker was hand-carried from process to process.
Have a great time, and hopefully get some photos to share (one thing I didn't do.)
