boa12 Posted March 7, 2001 Posted March 7, 2001 the guy who defined the measure of frequency &/or PWK's uncle? Quote
Hauck Posted March 7, 2001 Posted March 7, 2001 Stig, Are you sure you don't mean "O. Gadfly Hertz"? Phil Quote
Stig Posted March 7, 2001 Author Posted March 7, 2001 boa, Phil, there is a clue in e-bay..... that is all I will say Stig Quote
JohnA Posted March 7, 2001 Posted March 7, 2001 I'm not sure Orndorf Hertz is legit. However, the O. Gadfly Hertz is, so Orndorf MAY be PWK after all. I've got an e-mail to the seller. She's ~100 miles away. John Quote
S2000 Posted March 7, 2001 Posted March 7, 2001 It is PWK himself, supposedly !! He signed my speakers too !!! Quote
Stig Posted March 7, 2001 Author Posted March 7, 2001 Phil, it looks like you nailed it first after all...you are the grand prize winner...congratulations I did not know the 'Gadfly' thing Stig Quote
RossVTaylor Posted March 8, 2001 Posted March 8, 2001 This thread's a bit too cryptic, and I'm reading this on my PDA so I can't search through ebay right now. Can someone enlighten us that are temporarily "connection challenged?" Ross Dunno what all this is about, but Gadfly is Miss Valerie's nickname. Quote
JohnA Posted March 8, 2001 Posted March 8, 2001 There is a pair if La Scalas on ebay (100 miles north of me, starting at $1500, "buy now" at $2250) signed by Orndorf Hertz. The seller says that is PWK. I thought Mr. Paul used his own name on speakers. John Quote
Hauck Posted March 9, 2001 Posted March 9, 2001 Ross, John, et.al., The O. Gadfly Hertz was PWK's pen name whenever he wrote a tongue-in-cheek technical paper in response to some new, gee whiz breakthrough in the audio reproduction arena . . . there is at least one, perhaps two such papers that were published with the Klipsch Audio Papers and Dope from Hope series. What I now speculate is that the "O." stood for Orndorf. Phil Quote
Hauck Posted March 11, 2001 Posted March 11, 2001 Additional point of trivia, Gadfly: "A nickname for a "professional" shareholder that owns stock in various companies, attends annual meetings and asks senior management hard and often embarrassing questions." From Mellon Investor Services glossary of terms . . . Phil Quote
