J M O N Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 By the way, many of the items they have in this museum were donated. If you have anything Klipsch related that the museum may be interested in, you can probably call the number listed in the very first post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) It's disappointing that the "Who was Paul Wilbur Klipsch?" placard makes no mention of Belle Klipsch, PWK's first wife. Had she not taught school during the early lean years at Klipsch & Associates to keep food on the table, we would not be experiencing this great forum and the legacy of PWK. I suspect the text of the "history" would read differently if PWK were still alive. How does the museum explain the naming of the Klipsch Belle?

Boxx Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Outstanding photo's... Thanks for posting. Interesting that PWK earned a Doctor of Laws degree from NMSU in 1981 Go Aggies.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Warren Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I'd like to know more about Ms. Belle Klipsch, the first wife of PWK. He obviously had some affections for her, naming a speaker for her. I'm also curious to know why the Belle speaker was "dumped" in favor of the decidedly less visually appealing LaScala? Perhaps someone that knew her or her story can chime in(?) Edited April 26, 2014 by John Warren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone that knew her or her story can chime in(?) I too share your interest in Belle. I believe that the answer to your query lies in the plaque shown in post 25. There should only be one name not two. I expect that you can imagine what happened. I have chatted with a few who were around who said much changed when Valerie came on the scene.

J M O N Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks for posting, great pictures! The info on the sign about the Jubilee not being produced should be updated. I mentioned that to the lady that was showing us the museum and she quickly replied that "They are not the same." So I left it at that.

J M O N Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thank you for posting and the great pictures. I wonder if they have a speaker loaner program? That's a good question. I'd assume not if you planned on taking them back to NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
