Mith242 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Sorry if this has been posted somewhere on here. I have yet to see much mention of it. I've always heard that Klipsch had ties to Arkansas. Is there anything else aside from the factory in Hope? Wasn't Mr Klipsch living in Arkansas when he was designing these speakers? I got the impression the headquarters isn't in Arkansas. Just curious to find out a little more info on Klipsch. Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 PWK is from Hope, AK where he did some kind of military testing and then turned some of the facilities into a warehouse for speaker building (after the war). Up until 1997 (?) everything came out of Hope until they moved HQ to Indianapolis. Right now all the heritage, pro cinema stuff and reference (and anything else made by hand) is still manufactured in Hope. The pro cinema engineering is still in Hope and now headed up by Roy Delgado. The rest of the engineering happens in Indy as well as all the boring bookkeeping/advertising/managing mumbo jumbo. If you want to know more then I would highly recommend hanging out on the forums and catching the next Klipsch Pilgrimage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mith242 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks for the info. Yeah I'm new here and need to look through the forums more. I didn't even know there was a pilgrimage until I came across this forum. Wouldn't be too bad of a trip for me since I live in Arkansas.

DrWho Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Well next year will likely be in Indy considering that this year was in Hope and the year prior was in Indy. It hasn't been officially stated, but I'm guessing they will switch back and forth every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mith242 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Ah, I see now. Well then I might have to wait for the year after when it's lilely to be back in Arkansas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
