seti Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Everytime I meet life long Klipsch fans someone always has a good PWK story. How about making it official and share your stories with the museum PWK started. It is easy we have a simple form on the website. https://www.klipschmuseum.org/submit-your-story 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I met PWK one time only. It was approximately 1975 in Lansing, MI at a demonstration of 3-channel hosted by The Stereo Shoppe of East Lansing. After the very enjoyable demonstration, PWK was kind enough to speak with me. I asked him why the Heritage squawker and tweeter horns are mounted to the rear of the motorboards, rather than flush at the front. “Doesn’t make a dime’s worth of difference,” was his reply. I next asked him about the history of licensing patented designs to Electro-Voice, Brociner, etc. He explained that the inability to monitor and control the quality of licensed products made him uncomfortable associating his name with something Klipsch didn’t make. He suddenly asked me if I know what a patrician is. Before I could reply that it’s an E-V speaker, he said, “A patrician steps out of the shower to take a leak.” The members of his entourage rolled their eyes. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
