mrmaltese Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Hello! New to this forum but longtime Heresy I owner thanks to my friendship with Ed Wolfrum (RIP). I lived a couple houses down from him in Royal Oak, MI for 10 years. Back around 2007 Ed had me scan some pictures from when he was down at Klipsch. He mentioned that one of the assignments was around the Yamaha NS-10 (this topic came up when he saw me with a pair and he couldn't understand they were in my house... that's when he started letting me know all about Klipsch, which led to getting a Heresy I pair with metal mids that he spec'd). Apparently the NS-10s were plopped down on a table for the Klipsch team to tear apart and “figure out why people liked that awful sound”. Here are a couple of those images from his time... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 12 Moderators Share Posted July 12 @JRH and @Chief bonehead does this ring any bells (Photos in post above by @mrmaltese? Jim/Roy, were you involved in tearing apart the NS-10 Studio monitors? You know the ones, nearfield, white cones, on top of every studio mixing bridge for a good part of '80s to 2000s. They replaced the Auratones that everyone had up there before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 14 Moderators Share Posted July 14 @JRH what’s the story on that R2R and what’s PWK doing with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I'd have to date the pics between 1975 and 1978. It was before my time, but after the BS t-shirt came out. I might have met Ed, but don't recall anything specific. I did speak with him on the phone a time or two. I think the guy on the right in the first pic is Jim Parker, sales rep. Gary Gillum appears in 3 pics. The crouching guy in the BS shirt is Curtis Putnam (also RIP). PWK had many R2R's, and was invariably tinkering with them. It is sitting on a rare LB-15, predecessor to the LB-76. I think we have it at Indy. Would love to have hi-rez scans of these for the Archives. jim@klipschmuseum.org. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmaltese Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Let me check with Sue Wolfrum (Ed's widow) and see about the scans. She says the man with mustache is "probably Jim Hunter" (last photo checkered shirt and on left of the giant speaker stack...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmaltese Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 @JRH Sue says YES to the images! I will work to package up the scans and send your way (as soon as I clear the upcoming meetings from my schedule). I know Ed relished his time at Klipsch and could not stop talking about how great the people were. He even gave me an extra BS button from his time down there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
