SHO-MAN Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Recently a friend of a friend corrected me saying the P in Klipsch is silent. Please can someone tell me it's not true, Thank's Quote

Moderators Amy Posted January 2, 2009 Moderators Posted January 2, 2009 My understanding is clip-shh. You understand correctly. [] Quote
oldtimer Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 While we are on the pronunciation thread, for those who don't know, (probably everyone on here does though) Porsche is pronounced "porsh-uh" not porsh. Quote
colterphoto1 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 oh drat, I've been saying Kill-Pish all this time LOL Quote
colterphoto1 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 oh yeah, 'Colter' is pronounced - Rock Star Quote
oldtimer Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 hmmm, "clip-shh-uh"??? No, because there is no e at the end. If it were Klipsche, and the family were german, it would then indeed be Klip-shuh. Quote
fenderbender Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 So all this time I've been riding a 10 speed Bik-uh! Quote
fenderbender Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 oh yeah, 'Colter' is pronounced - Rock Star Your so Humbl-uh Quote
Daddy Dee Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Now, does any one here know how to pronounce "Memphis"? How about "New Orleans"? Quote
HudsonValleyNoah Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 NAUw-lins not good at this phonetic stuff. Quote
HDBRbuilder Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 <<thought "porsh-uh" was name of Julius Caesar's wife, duh! Quote
wuzzzer Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Klipsch - pronounce it just like it looks. Also, SHO-MAN, does that refer to a Taurus SHO by chance? Quote
IndyKlipschFan Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Had a kid correct me, after I bought my Porsche and I laughed....(OK, TO MYSELF) You can say it right kiddo, I still own and drive the car! hahahahah Although, I do say it right now! However, I don't correct people when they say it wrong. The stock radio in the car was terrible..... I asked the dealer, he said to me, "Roger, did you buy the car for the radio or for the cars perfomance?" OK, well said.... But I replaced it with a ALPINE later.... Nice fun fast red cars, need cool tunes too! Quote
oldtimer Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 <<thought "porsh-uh" was name of Julius Caesar's wife, duh! Well you are right HDBR. Except it's Portia in her case. And then you have to decide whether you would use ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation or classical Latin. Ecclesiastical is more like modern Italian and would sound closer to Por-shuh, but classical pronunciation has hard consonant sounds and would be closer to Por-tya. Quote
