In relationship to this forum I supposed the most interesting thing I have to offer is the story of the time I met Paul W. Klipsch.  I was a music education major at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, AR.  I was taking a class called The Physics of Music and part of the class included a trip the the Klipsch factory in Hope about an hour down I-30.  I believe we were about 30 minutes into the tour when a tall fellow interrupted the guide and said something like, "I'll take it from here".  Of course that was Paul W. Klipsch.  He was friends with our professor Dr. Lemming so I'm guessing that is why he stepped in.  Anyway we got the whole tour including a few minutes in the anechoic chamber.  When they closed the door it sounded or felt like I could hear my own heart beat.

Anyway, after the tour ended he asked Dr. Lemming if we had time to take a trip to his home for more talk and a demo of HIS audio setup.  Of course we went and spent maybe another hour at his house talking about this and that regarding past, present, and future audio.  I think the most interesting thing was that he hated the "new technology of CDs" remember this was 1983 and he thought the wave form of vinyl vs that of a computer were vastly superior.  He felt CD's left the music choppy and incomplete.

But that is my ever so brief story of meeting the man that made most of us so happy and inspired the search for accurate sound reproduction.
