I always tell people my favorite quote from Paul Klipsch is "What the world needs is a good 5-watt amplifier." This alludes to his famous love of high-efficiency loudspeakers, and the fact that a low-power amp is sufficient to drive them quite well. I did not see the quote anywhere on the website, despite the fact that PWK was famous for a lot of time-honored quotes. I'm not sure where I saw this quote, but perhaps you can check it out. Thanks.
